[[CEB instructionals to be transfered to Make Projects]]<br/>
This page gives you all the information you need to make your CEB Press from stock steel and parts. The steps in '''Mechanical Fabrication''' and '''Electronic Components''' are independent of each other, but within each category, the suggested order should be followed. Once you finish both, you can continue on to '''Final Machine Integration'''. At that point, your machine can be used.
[[CEB instructionals CAD Requests]]
 
==Fabrication==
 
Note: All make pages need a BOM for steps.
 
Also available is a PDF of the instructions listed here:

=Mechanical Fabrication=
The purpose of this section is to build and assemble all mechanical components of the CEB. You must first cut the steel, then fabricate individual parts, then assemble them, and then paint the machine.
==Steel Cut List==
*Cut the steel into the following lengths.
*Label and separate cuts by "Step" number so you can easily find cuts for each step during the fabrication stage.
*Note: Item Number and part number refer to CAD information. This is un-necessary if you are following the fabrication steps listed.
*Also, from the sheet, torch the [[media:hoppersheet2.png|Hopper Sheet Metal]] and the [[media:platestorch.png|simple plates]].

THIS PAGE IS FOR THE CEB PRESS


This page gives you all the information you need to make your CEB Press from stock steel and parts. The steps in Mechanical Fabrication and Electronic Components are independent of each other, but within each category, the suggested order should be followed. Once you finish both, you can continue on to Final Machine Integration. At that point, your machine can be used.

Mechanical Fabrication

The purpose of this section is to build and assemble all mechanical components of the CEB. You must first cut the steel, then fabricate individual parts, then assemble them, and then paint the machine.

Steel Cut List

  • Cut the steel into the following lengths.
  • Label and separate cuts by "Step" number so you can easily find cuts for each step during the fabrication stage.
  • Note: Item Number and part number refer to CAD information. This is un-necessary if you are following the fabrication steps listed.
  • Also, from the sheet, torch the Hopper Sheet Metal and the simple plates.
