I don’t just keep a shopping list, I keep five shopping
lists. Groceries, Housewares, Hardware, Internet and Long Term. They are categorized
by where I will find the items because I don’t want to have to see “#4-40 Bolt
1-1/2”” when I’m grocery shopping and I don’t want to see “bread, milk, and
peanut butter” when I’m at the hardware store.
Two things that were recently on my list were a rice
cooker and a lazySusan. I couldn’t find a rice cooker so I bought a hot plate from a department
store so I could really test out my sous vide oven. I took a cheap piece of
frozen fish and it turned into the most tender piece of fish I had ever had.
Very impressed. My mom asked if I would make her a sous vide oven and if I can
get similar results with fish again I will begin construction for her.
While talking with my mom she gave me a lazy Susan which
she wasn’t using. The purpose was to get more of the rotation shots I like so
much. The spinning Arduino with bolts in this post was taken on the lazy Susan. Thanks mom!
Enough background.
----------
Three #4-40 bolts and nine #4-40 nuts were purchased from
a hardware store. The placement of the pie tin holes was tested by placing the
Arduino over the holes. A light was shone from below to exemplify the
alignment. The #4-40 bolts were inserted into the Arduino from the top and nuts
were tightened to hold in place. An additional nut was put on approximately 1/8”
up the bolt then the bolts were inserted into the pit in holes and more nuts
were tightened from the bottom to hold the Arduino firmly in place.

The heating element was wrapped in the insulating plastic
again and inserted into the hot glue gun nozzle. A plastic tie was put around
the wire and through the pie tin hanger hole to keep it in place.

New wheels, 53mm skate wheels, and 5/16” bolts were
selected to act as a two wheel tensioning system.

To do:
- Perform tests outlined
- Build two wheel tensioner around chain
- Test + Debug
- Revise Documentation
