DIY Spot Welder Reaches 1540°C And Melts Steel

- We built a homemade DIY Spot Welder, but ours is very different from other videos you find online. Why? Well because it doesn't require you to have a big machine shop, or even just a drill, a welder, or metal bending equipment, ALL YOU NEED IS A 3D PRINTER (and a soldering iron). The designs include just 4 simple 3D printed parts, and once you make those, this build should take no more than a few hours.
Fixing the ruler in the video was obviously a joke, but feel free to use this however you need to. It was designed to be very small and easy to carry around in case that's what you need for your DIY projects.
The designs and parts list are free to download on our website

A stud welder by CD would be great...
Thanks for your channel!
Sweet, great idea and thanks for the compliment. Cheers, Dave
At this rate y'all will soon have a full service DYI machine shop. Love the spot welder but I could see over time your prints not holding up well around the electrodes.
Awesome, thanks for the support 😃. Don't forget to help me out and share the video 😉. The 3D prints are extremely thick and seem robust, but in the case that they do go bad over time (which I honestly believe would be over several years) you could always just spend a few hours printing a new piece 😁. Glad you enjoyed the video and looking forward to your comment in the next one. Dave
Great work guys!Thanks for sharing video✌👋
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😃
Love the videos guys, keep it up :)
Thanks so much 😃
"i doubt anyone would know that its broken" 😂
Hahaha 🤣. Glad you appreciate the humor. Cheers, dave
@@ActionBOX Anyways Dave,you never told us who the baby brother was🥲
@@hansikabagga I’m waiting for someone to guess 😉
@@ActionBOX I think Alan is the younger one.
@@hansikabagga ding ding ding 🛎 😉
nice cut
Thank you 😎
@@ActionBOX I meant the cut in the video after you supposedly weld the ruler. I was being ironic so as to say it lightly either didn't work or got pretty nicely welded to the steel screws.
hey bro, you could easily make some connectors to connect another pair of cable and a switch to make a spot welder for batteries. would be realy cool
That’s a great idea actually.
Would love to see more videos of the CNC
Alright, ill make more videos over the winter break. Cheers
You should've probably talked some more about the dangers of dismantling a microwave. Since it may still hold a deadly charge in its caps.
(unless pretty much every other video about using salvaged microwaves has lied)
you are right! Really dangerous, the caps can be still charged
The Longer printers have a lot of Quality Control issues from what I've seen. I highly suggest something like the Voxelab Aquila instead, but make sure you update it's firmware.
Its true that I have had more issues with the longer than the Creality, but it still served me really well. my primary issue with it was the servos slipping, causing the print to suddenly shift mid way (so the layers dont line up). This only happened twice.
This ruler could be sell as "New old stock" at ebay.
😂
Not only do we need to guess who the baby brother is but also now we need to guess who the team player who was carrying the welder at 0:11 😉
Hahaha, good catch. Stay tuned to the channel and you may find out soon 😉. Thanks for watching and your support 😃
Damn that fan has a wide motor (2:33). Why is it so much wider than on CPU fans?
It’s an all metal fan. Definitely an overkill for the application but it’s all I could buy in the limited time I had to complete this project. Great catch by the way. Cheers, Dave
How much current were you able to get with the re-wired transformer. Typically you want several thousand amps for welding 24-26 gauge sheetmetal.
It’s perhaps 1200amps. I can guarantee it’s not several thousand amps. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️
Nice video. Thanks. What's the max combined thickness of steel and stainless that you can weld.
It really depends on the transformer you use, wire, electrodes, welding time, etc. I don’t know exactly but I’d assume it’s much much thicker than the thin ruler we used
Cool stuff. Btw won't that plastic melt from the heat of the electrodes?
If used just a few times for a home project then no. If used constantly as an industrial machine then definitely. Great question and thanks for the support 😃.
You are very smart like me, but the problem is that I don't have the capabilities
So when I go to download the step files it's has all the non printable parts separately but then the printable parts are all in one body. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m not sure. It should have all the parts separated. Which program are you using!
I'm using FreeCAD maybe that's the problem.
Looks like a 3D printed copy of the "King Of Random's" (R.I.P.) spot welder.
?? Can you share the link? Cheers
@@ActionBOX czcams.com/video/vrlvqib94xQ/video.html
@@ActionBOX Did you get the link? It sure does look similar.
@@andyspoo2 just checked it out. I have not seen it before. Looks cool. All portable welders have similar designs. Perhaps it originated from that design. I see it was done many years ago. Who knows 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks for sharing
Duck welder
Hahahah that’s really funny. I see it now 😂
Alan is the baby?
DING DING DING! You got it! Alan is indeed the baby brother 👶
@@ActionBOX just discovered you're channel today. I really like it. One day I hope to have a 3D printer, so I can try making things myself. Thanks for your hard work making quality videos.
@@UraTrowelie thanks for an awesome comment 😊
