Nice. Is that a 3D Crankandstein?

Google pics tells me it is!

How does it rate?

 

[Wolfman]

Spot on.

Not sure yet mate. Just constructed it today. Not used in anger just yet!

 

[Yob]

get to it then

The MM3 gave me the shits the first time I used it, just be aware you may have to change the way you think in order to be pleased.. then again, it may just crank through it like a monster :beerbang:

whats the little turn key on the bottom roller for?

 

[Wolfman]

Hahahahaha yes I'm dreading the first run!

The bottom roller clicks into place. Was the main reason for going the crank!

 

[Yob]

Did you buy that before or after our chat?

Take a video of the first run

 

[Wolfman]

After mate. Had it on order.

Can do!

Awesome, how have you gone about mounting the water bottle?

 

[Wolfman]

I just joined 4 pieces of 12mm ply together and drilled a 50mm hole.



The top plate on the mill has a 100mm x 20mm slot cut in it. The neck stand for the bottle is screwed to the top plate.



The bottle was then ground down to fit in the hole.



I am yet to run any grain threw the mill yet. Will be a couple of weeks as I'm busy busy busy!

I will get some footage when this happens though.

Someone's been reliving post millennial kids shows today!

 

[Yob]

One led to the other.. It was unavoidable

 

[Wolfman]

So the first use was today. I wish I had purchased a new mill YEARS ago! 10kg of grain in no time at all.



Hopper holds about 8kg.

A little difficult to hold the camera and the drill at the same time. Hmmmm next purchase either motor or new drill.



The crush looks the goods. Will be better once I can stabilise the speed.



Nice close up of the crushed grain.

First go I am happy with the mill and hopper. Just need to see now if this improves the numbers jumping all over the place.

Wahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Spiesy]

Just need a proper motor now, mate!

 

[Hoppers]

Nice work, Did you get this from the US or here in Oz ?

 

[Wolfman]

Shipped in from the US. Worth every cent!

 

[Wolfman]

Just need a proper motor now, mate!

It's tempting mate!

I looking around for one now, never heard of this one, but it looks the business

typically, they are not taking any orders in March, just my luck
