Dogstake handmade.

    Hey,


    for the past 2-3 months I've been trying to build a dogstake, BUT without using fancy tools like CNC mill or lathe. I've got access to such tools, but I wanted something really simple. Something I could share with the community. Something everyone could build.


    Someday I was cleaning my 3d printer and there was that Eureka moment: I could build a dogstake from 3d printer parts. Here's what I've got now:



    As you can see, all that's needed is:

    • 4x linear bearing rail sk10
    • 8x bearing with 10mm inner diameter
    • 4x washer (to make a groove between bearings)
    • 10mm aluminum rod for shafts
    • 1x linear bearing rail sk35
    • 1x bearing with 15mm inner diameter
    • 15mm stainless steel rod

    And just three tools:

    • pipe cutter (or hacksaw)
    • flat file
    • hex keys


    The total cost is less than 100$



    The last thing I need is the plate :/


    Any ideas?

    @anyrap How is your dogstake working out? Which 3D printer model did you cannibalize?


    Do you have an action video :)

    To be honest I'm not able to compare it with any other dogstake as I've never used one.


    The only problem I've got is with the bearings: sometimes the lines go outside the groove. Maybe it should be bigger? I tested V-groove bearings from aliexpress some time ago , but they were even worse.


    Unfortunately I've got no video.

    I haven't disassembled my printer to build that dogstake - that would be stupid :). You can get 3D printer parts from online stores like this one

    jaa... after 9 hours of printing and a sudden firmware error ... sometimes I am close to it :)
    But thanks for the link. Now i understand what you mean with "3d printer parts".

    The "John Baressi" dogstake (https://www.kite-and-friends.d…kiting-with-john-barresi/) is closed (https://www.kite-and-friends.d…uploads/04-11-300x200.jpg). But i am sure you know this already.
