Hardware Plan

My long term plan is to build a Microfactory and Factory.

The first product I want to manufacture and sell are circuit boards.

Robot Board:

Side project is to build a aluminum forge and start amassing ingots made from aluminum cans.

Experiment with and document making various alloys and their properties. Also heat treating.

Setup rolling mill and make some aluminum wire from ingots.
Drill Press:
- purchase steel pipe
- forge base and other parts from aluminum
- 3d print any other components
- attaching drill i already own
DC Motor from scratch:
- 3D printed parts
- hand made aluminum wire, https://www.achrnews.com/articles/83673-copper-vs-aluminum-windings-in-motors
- wound by hand / drill
- all other components purchased (magnets, fasteners, etc)
Lathe:
- aluminum forged body
- hand made dc motor
- buy any components that can't be forged from aluminum or 3D printed in plastic
Stepper motor:
- building on experience of DC motor
Shopaid:
- uses my own stepper motors, dc motors, robot board
- 3d print + forge mobile base
- purchase steel pipe for vertical structure
- purchase cameras for vision
