  What good looking fuse!   I hope this helps as a inspiration to all present and future fuse makers.

 

Yup he makes the machines and sells them.

New hopefully i havent done something wrong with the drawings

[Svimmer]

Finally done with the new machine. Im pretty sure it will weave alot nicer than the last one since the plates spins a lot faster now and the drum pulls slower !

Also the second plate spins faster then the first one !

 

Just need to wait for the thread i ordered pretty sure 15.000 yards is enough for this machine for awhile

Finally tested the machine and it is weaving nice but after the coating device it get uneven :/

[Svimmer]

Probably my best result so far !

Im working on a new machine now 

 

My plan is to use these bearings for the disc's

And use these Motors

And these Pulleys

Tips is appreciated

You will need a microcontroller and motor controllers to control these steppers. Of course, you will have the added benefit of being able to finely control the relative speed of the discs.

Yeah thats the plan

Hello, any news of the machine? I want to build one.
the videos are down

[Arthur]

Every time someone gets close to a working visco machine they stop posting and their vids vanish, without another post ever.

I've noticed the same. They seem to get as far as a working prototype, then nothing. I suspect they are "builders" that didn't understand what they were getting into. Building the first machine is maybe half the work, you still have to get it working properly. That can take a lot of trial and error, IIRC Lloyd called running his Bickford machine "a four hour heart attack".

They can be a fickle beast indeed, them visco weavers. Built one years ago and I can surely agree that getting it together in one piece is just the beginning of problems

 

 

 

But I have been refining it from time to time and after "some" upgrades I can deem it working rather satisfactory.

Do you guys think this tiny machine will work ?

Just having fun 3d printing

 

Im having a break with my old machine !
