Need help figuring out how to build a roller base for a Jobo 3005

[Drew Wiley]

For gearmotors per se, go to Grainger, not McMaster. The latter is excellent for shafts, rollers, etc.

[Les Rudnick]

This is a really nice roller base. Great design.
Would you be willing to share the parts list that you finally ended up using?

[konakoa]

I'd like to Les, yet between the time that has passed since I began, the large box of unlabeled not-quite-right parts and the stack of invoices I couldn't single out the exact parts I used.

Every picture tells a story

I see

Serious question for Konakoa - Would you consider making another one of these and if so, what would you charge?

[konakoa]

VTB, I sent you a note.

A beautiful device...sure beats my Unicolor and Beseler motor bases...noisy things.

Edited to add -- I especially like the little rollers that keep the drum from walking.

[dasBlute]

looks awesome, is that 80/20 extruded aluminum? I image the electronics are designed for an environment with liquids....

[konakoa]

Thanks for the kind words Vaughn! DasBlute, yes, it's 80/20. The electronics are 12 volt off a wall adapter, and housed in a plastic box.
