mostly 3d printed Quorn single lip grinder

[greenail]

Anyone interested in participating in a mostly printed Quorn grinder collaboration?

I've already made a few of the parts. I think i'm getting a pretty good understanding of how it works by mocking it up in fusion 360.

What type of "participation" are you thinking about?

Id like to hear more about it. Your planning on making the Quorn out of 3d printed plastic?

Here is a rendering.


Here is a picture of what I have made so far. the bottom rail block had some slicer issues. I was planning on trying to use 8mm linear rail slides but I actually think I can get away without any linear slides. The other axis's are 1/2 drill rod. I've built in split cotters into the collet holder block though i'm not sure if they are the right thing for plastic.



I suppose it would be great if folks could help out with the design. Every joint on the quorn design is a lever and it will all add up to floppy if it isn't designed right. That said it feels fairly good. If it can take light cuts it is a win.

I think it is something that could be cast with lost PLA casting.
