DIY Electric Conveyer Belt

[Justin]

Found a few electric conveyers on FleaBay but wondered about the possibility of building one myself.

Anyone ever done this? I'm just after something around 6" belt width and 2/3 foot long. Only needs to be very light duty.

Appreciate any advice on if it's worth having a go!

you going to build an oven around it, or a fridge?

Or leading straight into the scrap bin? :biggrin:

Haha, good guess! I'm over engineering/thinking a solution to something that isn't really a problem!

I can see why you preferred the DIY approach though Justin ...

I've not seen that one, wow expensive! plus taxes etc! I know decent ones are expensive. The £300 one on eBay would probably work but at 6' long it's a bit too big.

The one you've shown is ideal. I've found smaller ones in the UK for around £200 but they just don't go quite wide enough.

I reckon you could easily mash one together using an old drill and a few bits from your local DIY store.

Love this but I'd want the 2 robots as well! Video is fascinating

Brilliant, or you could just move it yourself 6 feet down the table!

There's sure to be some obscure Health & Safety or EU law against doing that Gary!

'Alexa, place the mug on the belt and move it down the table and fill every 100th mug with hot tea, two sugars. ' That's my preferred method!
