Project Description
Hi,
I'm looking for a maker/mechatronics builder to build me a simple automation rig that sits above my existing crepe griddle.
What it does:
• Pumps batter onto the plate (peristaltic pump + nozzle)
• Spreads it in a circle (motorized arm, same motion as a manual T-spreader)
• Waits for cooking (IR sensor + timer)
• Squeezes chocolate spread onto the crepe (3 small heated pumps)
• Folds it in half, then into a triangle (simple hinged flaps, not robotic arms)
• Slides it into a paper cone sleeve
It's a straightforward build — aluminum 2020 frame, 3D-printed brackets (ABS), Arduino Mega, stepper motors, servos, and peristaltic pumps. All off-the-shelf components from AliExpress. No custom PCBs, no CNC machining, no exotic materials.
The griddle is a Krampouz electric double crepe maker (2 × 400mm plates). The machine sits above it as a bolt-on add-on.
I need:
✓ Full build — design, print, assemble, wire, program, test
✓ Ship a working machine to Israel
✓ A one-page spec is attached with more detail
This is a practical maker project, not an industrial production line. I'm looking for someone who builds physical machines regularly and can keep it simple and functional.
Please reply with:
1. Your total project price and timeline
2. A photo or video of a physical machine you’ve built and shipped
Thanks.
