00:00:00	hello everyone and welcome back to the channel in the last few videos we went over a lot of these pieces and I am getting a little bit excited because I think I printed out pretty much everything that needs to be printed
00:00:12	before we can start putting the electronics together but as you can see a lot of these alignment pins and things like that are are still kind of hanging out there so in this video I wanted to try to make things a little bit more
00:00:26	permanent and I wanted to put some threaded inserts and things most people will take these threaded inserts and insert them with a soldering iron but what I'm thinking about doing is actually just using some 5minute epoxy
00:00:42	to put them in I think that'll allow me to do it a little more straight and I don't risk melting any of the plastic and I think it will be strong enough for my purposes especially since I tried to make these tight enough so that there a
00:00:56	squeeze Fit already the way that I did that was to create a little test piece here and that allows me to test different size holes uh against the threaded inserts and make sure that we get a tight fit in this case I wrote on
00:01:10	the back of it that it's 5.55 mm um that's what my printer likes in order to get a nice tight fit for these particular threaded inserts you actually need to insert these with a hammer um but it won't break the outer rim here so
00:01:25	that's nice I did a little test with different thicknesses and different inner size holes so that I could see how to get this to fit tightly I did several different versions with different hole sizes uh but this is the one that I
00:01:38	ended up using with all these prints so all of these holes end up being 5.55 mm I guess the only thing left to do really is to mix up some of this 5-minute epoxy I'm not sponsored by Gorilla Glue but I just like their color scheme cuz it
00:01:52	seems to match everything else that I'm doing here so but here here it goes I'm going to open this up and we'll just start adding threaded inserts um now this actually comes with
00:02:06	a little spatula to help stir the epoxy which is very handy and also another thing to note is that this
00:02:18	tip when you break off this tip that can actually be inserted back onto the spigots here so that uh you don't have leaking everywhere but here goes nothing we want to try to
00:02:33	get equal amounts on either side now you can see that I have a little bit more of one than I do the other but I think we're close enough for government work here all epoxies come with a hardener as well as the epoxy base and for 5minute
00:02:51	epoxy you just want to make sure that you get close to equal portions or it won't ever really Harden properly so the first thing that we're going to do is to put these alignment pegs in the proper holes I'm just going
00:03:06	to put a little dab going to put a little dab of 5 minute epoxy on each one of these and try not to overdo it so I don't get a lot of squeeze [Music]
00:03:20	out right down in that hole and I'm going to try to clean that up a little bit cuz I don't want a lot of squeeze out on that like I said sticking that there we do every other
00:03:38	[Music] one and then in the other ones we're going to do threaded inserts so I don't know how this is going to work but I'm just going to try dipping the bottom of this in the 5
00:03:56	minute you can see that I just put a little dab there on the bottom half of this and I'm just going to try to drive that home all the threaded inserts are
00:04:15	installed on this lower coin holder and I think I may have overdone it on the threaded inserts on this particular design but I'm going to continue there's three that go in the bottom of the base here to hold the
00:04:32	camera we're going to mix up a little bit more 5 minute [Music] epoxy so those came out pretty good there's four more that go in the Queen studio
00:04:58	here okay so now that I have all the threaded inserts attached now I'm going to put all the pieces together and kind of test fit them to see how they all work together first step is to attach the
00:05:21	camera [Music] mount guess I'm always amazed when things kind of just fit together even though the 3D Cod CAD software I'd left to design these in I designed them
00:05:36	in a way that they all lined up but it's always amazing that you can just print these out on a 3D printer and have it all just work out so that is the camera studio
00:05:49	mounted The Next Step will be to add this coin stacker to the coin collection unit [Music] [Music] [Music]
00:06:47	[Music] the [Music] a [Music] [Music]
00:07:58	s tada this the first time we've had all of the pieces of the coin bot put together um there's still a few tweaks that I need to make but otherwise I think we're in pretty good shape but for
00:08:12	now that's my two cents I think that's enough for this video thanks for watching everyone stay awesome
