Motorizing choppers

Sponsored links

Every time I used a kitchen knife, it was cumbersome to chop, so I bought a chopping cutter.

Certainly it was easier to chop, but two weaknesses I found using.

・ String is weak

Although it is strong about the pull strength, when it pulls on the cord due to the structure, it rubs and becomes thin gradually and finally the cord is broken.

After the string was broken, I replaced it with another string (the black string in the photo above), but in the end it was also broken.

・ Drainage is bad

If we wash it round, water will drip inside the lid.I think that it may not be hygienic because mold may grow if it doesn’t dry properly.

Especially if we put an egg like this, we will want to dismantle and wash the inside.

However, there was a voice from the purchaser about the drainer, and it is improved and there is a drain hole for the current model (I think that this is still uneasy).

I was thinking of buying a new one because the price was low, but I was worried that I might have run out of strings again and that I was worried about draining. I also wanted to buy a food processor. But I was hesitate to throw it away because it was still usable except for the lid.

So there is also a 3D printer, I decided to use it customized.
After various investigations, I made it possible to rotate the blade with a hand-held power tool.

Lid became easy to wash and became hygienic♪

Speeding up of rotation

My power tool does not rotate very fast, so it is only roughly chopped.

It was convenient by USB charge.
It does not have to buy a high-speed motorized driver as it is fully functional as a motorized driver.
So I made a gear with a 3D printer and made it about 5 times faster.

In the case of coarse chopped, select the center gear.
When doing ultra-fine cutting, turn the outer gear and transmit it to the center to rotate the blade at high speed.

Failed work

There is success after failure.

At first I thought about turning with the steering wheel. I remembered that I had an electric driver on the way.
After all, I stopped modeling on the way.

Furthermore, I thought that I could speed up more.
I took out an unused 380 motor and motor controller and tried to show the power of 10,000rpm.

Modeling was also completed and made a real thing.

Look at this amazing speed. And also at the point of useless.

I’m going to repeat this failure and grow.
