In this video I’ll be using Fusion 360 and my 3D printer to give my lawn some much needed attention by designing and making a 3D printed garden tool to spread grass seeds over my patchy lawn. Hopefully this will beat using a cup!
Along the way, I'll show you how to easily design more organic looking, sculpted, components in Fusion 360 using the Loft tool and a useful free Fusion 360 plugin for designing gears called 'GF Gear Generator'.
Watch to the end if you want to find out how the seed spreader does in the wild at actually distributing grass seeds.
If you're interested in 3D printed gears, check out this previous video where I design and build a non-contact magnetic gear: • Building Magnetic Gear...

The crank at least from the video looked a little jittery, I think it's because you're trying to hold and steady the spreader with one hand, while turning the crank with the other. This might not be fit for your use, but I think that making the crank into an adapter for an electric screwdriver would enable you to distribute much more smoothly, though I suppose that entirely depends on you already owning an electric screwdriver because otherwise you'd be spending more money than just buying a seed spreader. Alternatively, maybe you could print a squeeze crank, like the ones you find in those cheap dynamo crank flashlights, though I'm unsure of how well that would work as I don't actually have experience with printing or tinkering with one

You are absolutely right,. I think a lot of the jitteriness is coming from the lateral torque that the crank is causing as I rotate it. adding a motor is certainly one way of solving this, also I think changing the grip to include something that is braced against the forearm rather than pure grip strength might help too.

Hi. Please help me understand why this is better than buying one. They sell those in stores, gee I bet you can get it delived. Did printing it make is superior than the alternative?

@Little_Dragon626 День назад

he answer is cost. Sure you can get a cheap one at like what $20ish? but the price of the plastic to print it is probably like a few dollars. Plus, it's a project and he's also been able to make a video out of it too

To be honest I just thought it would be a fun little project to do and gave me an excuse to design and print some interesting parts and build something mechanical😀
