Peristaltic Pump DIY or Buy Arkadiusz: GreatScott! I think your videos are great and you are very knowledgeable about electronics. But I think you should improve your mechanical skills if you want to take up such projects and compare it with off shelf units. For example you couldn't tight bearing too much because you didn't use any washers. I saw it in your other videos you made similar mistakes.

Medical engineer here: be careful with your tubing while using it for a long time. Due to squeezing of the tube it gets porose and could yield to a leak. In medical environments, the tubing gets exchanged after a few hours or days because of hygienic reasons, that makes also sure that the tube gets not very old and porose.

For me diy is best and winner
Because its own invention
You know invention always does a little work then the ready made ones but when it works it gives a lot of satisfaction
If someone is agree with my words then give me a like.

May be way late but if you add small washers the size of the bearing hub, you can tighten them as much as you want and the bearings will spin freely as there won't be any friction against the bearing face, on only the hub. Really cool video!

3D printing a food safe, centrifugal pumps seems a lot easier. Or get one from an autopart store. A windscreen cleaning pump is cheap. For higher pressure, 3D print a gear pump. A peristaltic pump is only good for very small dosage purposes.

thanks for the great video!
Does anyone know why the pump was not as productive as the commercial version?
Where is the gap of 300ml coming from?
That's 60 % worse and I am just wondering, how you could improve the design: )

I'd love to see a DIY or buy for a parabolic microphone. I really like your videos especially your explanations with drawings. If I had any criticism it would be not relying on the 3D printer so much.

I salvaged something like this from an inkjet printer and had no idea what it was called. BTW don't throw printers away, They are filled with nylon gears, metal rods, DC motors (Mine had 2)

Awesome Video
Would you please share the 3D files as remix on thingiverse? The license of ralf's original is perfectly suited for that (CC-BY-SA.
That would be pretty awesome.

In 2: 29, i remembered when i was a savage at stepper motors. Why? because i just put a 25hz sine wave in the stepper motor by a n 12w amplifier. Dirty but it works all the time.
