Mini Pcb Cutter

diy a mini pcb cutter

Step 1: Meterials

i use meterials from printer,hdd,cd rom.

1,2 are from a 2.5'' hdd

3 is from a cd rom

4 is from a printer

Step 2: Disk Holder

• place the ball bearing to the axis (must be fit perfectly)
• add instant glue carefully
• place (the other thing with the screw) (must be fit perfectly)

Step 3: Bearing Holder

• place the motor
• make a paper mold and fill it with hot glue (attention to the ball bearing)
• place off the paper mold

Step 4: Cover

• screw 4 screws (adjust the right height)
• place 4 magnets at the top off the screws
• find a nice plastic for cover and glue it with hot glue to the magnets

Step 5: End

• connect it with a power supply.

• the motor must run opposite the disc's screw

this runs on 32v (printer's power supply/motor)

i would guess that the melt glue that is used to hold the axis would get warm from friction and get out of shape?

A more heat stable solution in the same spirit is some self setting silicone rubber perhaps, (or a piece of acrylic with a hole drilled).

Otherwise I like the project a lot. Good job!

You are right, until now it is ok but it could have better materials

thanks a lot!!

Nice idea, though a simple gear would help to lower and hide away the motor and while you are at it, a suction fan underneath the board to avoid the dust getting everywhere would make it just perfect.

thanks for the idea ..the dust is a problem!

better with gears or belt, but i don't have ! this i make is easiest...

one problem i had last year was cutting the same width a few times, a few holes to mount a guide (a metal piece you'd mount a cd drive with in a pc does the job) helped with that.
