    Can Seamer DIY

    Hi guys, First of all, sorry for the delay and being disconnected all this time. I started this project last year, and since then my life turned very busy. I can share with you the final design (or at least the first one fully functional). My thoughts were to share a step by step process, but...

    Hi, I'm trying to fix one piece that is not working well and back to you with the final designs. Sorry about that

    Hi again! New support piece mounted. It has 2 bearings per axis and more density and x/y reinforcement: The looseness has been removed. The spin of the can is not perfectly circular due to the base piece, but it seems that it does not affect the closing. And here we have the final result!

    I've just made a try with a screwdriver and it seems to improve the stability. Anyway, I'm printing a new support to handle 2 bearings per axis and maybe take your advice and print a support for the screwdriver to fix this issue. Thanks!

    I'm redesigning the main piece to reduce the looseness, adding 2 bearing for axis, incrementing the density of some parts. I think it would be better to use a screwdriver than a drill :confused:. I'll be back with more updates soon!

    Hi guys! I finished the bottom part and try to test the system. To press the can to the top part, I designed a screw with a rotating part. And here we go with the first attempt! As you can see, there are some looseness that must be solved. But it works!

    This system is thought to spin with a drill. I'm thinking to modify it to adapt some type of electric engine with some sensors to make the process more automatic. But for now I prefer to test the seamer process with the drill.

    Of course! It's the idea.

    Yes! Once the setup is working fine I'll post a video with the process, all the pieces and the 3d printed models to be printed by anyone!

    Hey. Some updates! I've started printing some pieces this week: All the top part is printed and mounted on the wall. There are 3 parts, the main support, the upper disc (where the can lid tightens), and the handle with the 2 wheels. The upper disc and the handle are placed in the main...

    Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, although I've been following you from the shadows for a long time. First of all, sorry for my bad English, I'm from Spain and I'm a bit oxidated on the Shakespeare language. I'd like to start in this community sharing with you my new project, a 3D Printed Can...
