Well I made a thing today. Started with a fiskars paper corrugator, but it wasn't sturdy enough to corrugate a beer can. Knocked out the axle stubs and replaced them with some 1/4" drill rod and then drilled the end plates and built the frame. Little bit of lapping compound got everything running smoothly. Cleaned that out, greased it up, welded a plate top and bottom and added a 1/4" socket so I can run metal through with a ratchet. Works bretty gud. Top piece is a beer can ran through once. Bottom piece was run through once, then turned a 1/4 turn and run through again just to see what it'd do.
That looks crazy satisfying ngl
>>2970372Yeah I think I might just drink beer and roll the cans the rest of the night!
>>2970368Neat! What are you planning to make with the corrugated metal?
>>2970368I'm a little surprised those gears are holding up, but I guess I've had pretty good luck with Fiskars products. Nice job, doing the thing...
>>2970489>Neat! What are you planning to make with the corrugated metal?I mainly wanted to make a corrugated roll up door for a Nylint U-haul truck... I'm sure there will be some other artsy fartsy applications for it.>>2970494>I'm a little surprised those gears are holding up,They're an aluminum extrusion that has been anodized so they're pretty hard on the surface and solid other than the 1/4" hole that was in them that is now filled with the steel axleshaft.
Pretty cool.The double pattern one reminded me of this video.Clickspring - Guilloche - The Straight-Line Engine #2 - Depth Of Cuthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoNK8wVz63Q
>>2970368I'll give you $1 if you corrugate your nutsack.
>>2970368I've embossed thin sheet metal for heat shielding by using a 3D printed stamp that has a positive side and a negative side, then hammering it on the sheet metal. Time consuming compared to that thing you've made.
How wide is the thing?Do you have an extra gear connecting the two rollers, or do they just gear into each other?
>>2970749You first bby ;)>>2970800>How wide is the thing?almost 6.75" wide, so realistically you can emboss a sheet 6.5" wide if you line it up so it goes through perfectly straight.>>2970800>Do you have an extra gear connecting the two rollers, or do they just gear into each other?They just gear into each other. You could forego buying the Fiskars paper corrugator if you could find a good source for the aluminum extrusions they use for their rolls, but I have no idea where you would even begin to look, and unfortunately it would probably cost more per foot of extrusion than you could buy the entire Fiskars corrugator for! What a retarded world we live in.
>>2970489>What are you planning to make with the corrugated metal?When I see corrugated metal, I think moldable heatshields.
>>2970912can you make something that bends in both directions like a hose
>>2970560im really supposed to believe this is how these things are made
>>2970798just make it as big as the sheet and use a hydraulic press then it's time efficient
>>2970368dang that is cool nice work
