I too am trying horizontal mount. Im working on ball hopper mechanism now and think ball jams is the hardest thing to contend with. No.2 I found it hard to find matching wheels and couplers but eventually is ok. Thats the two hardest things i think.
I find having auto control of ball direction counter intuitive to what the purpose of the machine is for. I.e. drilling the same type of shot again and again.
Also wondering what happens before switch on when there is a ball already sitting at spinning wheels. I'm guessing the only solution is manual removal of the ball, right?
Hi, great job on the quality of the construction. I'm currently working on my own (vertical orientation) and I would like to have more info on the material of the wheels and how did you balanced them so well. Also what kind of motor coupling did you use?
Hi, great project. I am trying to make one but I am struggling. are you sharing the project? selling a propotype? tutorial? i am very interested. thanks
Mike the motor is from amp flow and is available online. I don't now which country you are from to point to a dealer . Let me know, Willing to help an ethuasiastic builder.
Before getting this far with the current wheel . I tried at least 10 different materials and sizes. The wheel was custom made . Just wanted to know if you tried any wheels available in the market so far. At what stage are you with this project? I will surely help you out; so that you don't have to go through the same trouble.
