Another idea; to save some cost in favor of preparation speed might be using just one pump and distribute the ingredients through the tubes with valves.
Cool project. Just a tip, pre drill your holes in the timber, you have a pillar drill. Perfect nails, no splits and you control where the nail goes. Same as electronics, provide a path of least resistance and the nail will follow Good Job on the electronics 🙏
End of party: You find someone you don't even know passed out in your washing machine with an empty glass. ...out cold with shoes on?...break out the sharpies Picasso!!!
I'm not the most experienced wood worker in the world. But I would like to give u a tip on keeping the wood from blowing out like you have around the tubes. First, drill nice and slow. Second, but a piece of scrap wood under the piece you want drill. It should keep the good piece from blowing out. Love you work!
Would it be worth reversing the pumps for a few seconds after it finishes to clean out the hoses? That might keep the plate clean and make cleanup easier later. It would also make switching to other drinks easier. It's not a screwdriver with cranberry juice!
A very nice project, as always. The only part that doesn't looks very good (for me) are the three tubes hanging there, i would recommend you to get a bigger black tube and put the three tubes into there, thus it will look better. Keep working, you are awesome!

AvE's been talking about building a bartending robot for years, and you've just smashed one out in a 10 minute video. I suppose with him it's more about the journey than the destination. Love your work sir.
My uncle also made one a while ago that works with Apple Homekit/Siri and another app for android. Has a compartment for 50 red cups, 10 bottles of liquor and 10 bottles for soda/juices. Might make one of those as well in the future.
Suggestion: When you drill into wood, Drill from the hidden side and also have another wood piece under the piece you are drilling. That way when material is pulled up the hidden side will have ugly sides(Because of wood pulled up) and the good side will have a nice hole because the wood piece it is against will prevent sides from separating on the sides. If you need both sides pretty, then sandwich the piece you are drilling between two other wood pieces and then drill.
This is an interesting project and I liked your design, thank you for these amazing videos. One idea to add variety to your drinks is to use solenoid valves to control from where the pumps are sucking, this way you wouldn't need as many pumps and the valves are definitely cheaper. Edit: Thinking again, maybe using the valves wouldn't be such a good idea for food safety.
lul, thank you dude. I've been searching for an pcb manufacturer for at least a few weeks now. My goal was not to pay more than 70$ for 5pc. Now I payed 2$, for 10pc. With DHL Express. Awesome! :D
I have a plan to make these cocktail machines in this way but with a vinyl wrap inside and outside. The pump motor inside the case, The LCD Display, The rotary encorder, The Arduino Nano, The pump motor driver, The Scale, the DC jack all connections will be connected through a designed PCB and order it from JLCPCB and with a on/off switch. The Rest of the Pump pipes will be in a professional look. I hope you make like this cocktail machine in a future video
I'm so going to build this and connect this to home assistant to use our smarthome as a web interface. By doing it this way I can also automate the cocktails when I'm done working in friday and entering the door.
That is awesome, i wonder if with 3D printed parts for the case and a little bit more of engineering to account for the vibration so more structure would give a better stability, and a SD Card reader to read "recipe files" would render in a awesome machine. Nice job, i would like the video 10 times if i could.
You could even use some Peltiers and cool the drinks to temperature, that would be cool, and with a bit of code you could easily compute the alcohol percentage and volume in a said mixture of drinks :)
I've seen a pump like this in a bubble machine, and was surprised by the ingeniosity they used for a simple pump. It seems simple, but I would never have thought of that way.
Hey man. You got to apply the solder to the pins as you're heating with the iron. When you put the solder on the tip first, the flux burns away and you get a cold joint. Love the videos!!
I saw a group of 4th year engineering students did a similar project to this for their capstone project. Cool! Theirs worked a bit differently in that I think all tubes could run at the same time, no weight sensor. They also added an auto cup dispenser and conveyor for coolness factor.
Thank you. Very interesting demo with professional work. Different constituents can be placed at top and gravity fed into the bottom container. The flow of different constituents can be changed automatically using solenoid valves placed in the discharge line of upper tanks.The load cell can weigh cumulatively and stop in the end.
Hey GreatScott! I have a project idea for you: Modify a PSU to be constant current source. I think if you remove the feedback from the output and add a small resistor(current shunt?) to the low side, it could provide a feedback. This should be amplified to the appropriate level and voila CC PSU. I didn't think this through, but I think this could be done, with your knowledge. Would be useful to drive leds, even many in series, since the voltage could go above 12V. What do you think? Cheers
Instead of using load cell, you can try 3 flowmeters inline with each pump. That way the drink can be made faster as the 3 pumps will pump simultaneously.
He could, but I don't think it would work as well as it does with the timer. The problem here is that the load cell produces a low signal that is susceptible to noise, in order to read a stable signal you must use some form of filtering, which will decrease the response time of the load cell, so he wouldn't be able to measure the amount of liquid poured in real time.
When you drill holes, remember to put a piece of scrap wood behind what ever you are drilling(this prevents the chipping). Also never use nails, they make things look cheap and never look nice, alternatively you could of done dowel joints, which is quite easy to do. I recommend that you get a laser cutter, as they are really useful for my electronics projects, and if you know how to make boxes via 2D CAD software, you can do the casing for that project in a matter of 45 minutes.
it might be possible to measure the liquid on a other way. you might be able to measure the current of the water going through, because it is moveing electrodes it should produle a voltage !! can you do a vid on that ?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but you can't use the electrical current flowing through a liquid to measure the flow rate. To do that would require either a turbine in the pipe or something else that can be measured electronically which is not practical on this scale
Algorhythm no, you can do it. It is called magnetic flow meter. Or mag meter. It requires a conductive liquid. The problem here is that it requires a known conductivity on the liquids. Which would mean recalibration after each new liquid is used.
I think instead of recording pumping periods and adjusting poured material's volume accordingly, knowing the densities of the liquids and adjusting the poured amount making use of the strain gauge sensor would be wiser. However, you have done a great job and congratulations for that. I hope you continue making such videos.
I have found someone online who has made a cnc machine and is willing to help me build ,my own. Here is a link to in depth posting about making a cnc machine using a rasberry pi . . I will be usng windows pc with a parell port to build mine. www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Alamode-CNC-Controller/
A few things I’d do is redesign the whole thing and design it like this: 1. Find or make some sealed dispenser bins (something like 3” wide, 9” deep and 10” tall or something the size of the dispenser area would be that’ll hold like a half to full bottle of Bacardi, etc) sloped to the center for the tube connection, that has a sealed, but removable lid for filling/cleaning. This would prevent fruit flies, etc and can be left filled. 2. Have 4 or 6 on each side of the dispenser part (in the middle) that way you can have one for jack, Bacardi, crown royal, bourbon, triple sec, etc. I’d put a thin black piece of material between each bin with a light smoke front panel in front of all of them and put a white led light above each one. When a drink is selected that uses Bacardi (for example) the light above the Bacardi would light up and you can see it through the front panel. So the ingredients being used lights up. 3. Have a flip up lid over the ingredients bins for filling etc. 4. Have more drink recipes, and include a multi line lcd panel for instructions. For example for a margarita, when selected it would say something like place a shaker filled with ice in the dispenser area, then after it dispenses it would tell you to shake and strain, or place in a blender and pulse, etc. 5. A sensor to detect a glass, etc is in the dispenser area to prevent dispensing without one. 6. Move the electronics into a false back that’s covered to keep them from getting wet, and replace it with a pull out drip tray under the dispenser for spills, over dispensing, etc. 7. Have a selection for size of glass, example for a Long Island iced tea, you can tell it that your using a 6 oz glass and it’ll adjust the portions for that size glass, or using a 12 oz glass, it’d adjust for that. 8. Keep the multi color led lights for the dispenser area. 9. Make a port where you can plug in a computer for servicing/updates via a usb cable, etc to make it easier for updates, etc if needed instead of pulling off the back, etc. 10. Glue the black plastic sheets you used on rather than screwing them on and maybe use a silver metal corner piece to put over the corners. 11. Put rubber feet on the bottom to protect the surface you put the automatic bartender on. 12. An option of selecting drink strength from no alcohol, little, moderate to strong... depending on the persons taste. Just a few things I thought of to take the concept to the next level. Oh and of course google Home/Alexa integration.
Can you make a CNC machine that makes a 3D printer that makes a CNC machine that makes a 3D printer that makes a CNC machine that makes a 3D printer that makes a CNC machine?
great idea! the scale measures mass not volume so liquids with different viscosities will give different volumes. you could have one pump and a distributor that changes the liquid being pumped (plus some valves and that way you could have maybe 10 liquids and only one pump , plus you could do a flush to the pipes after each liquid was pumped)
Kartikey Agarwal He used food safe silicone tubes plus no mechanical parts come in direct contact with the liquids, the pumps simply press and push the liquid forward in the tubes
Thanks great scott, long time viewer but I'm not a great person writing comments, I appreciate so much you take the time to still make videos. Happy Holidays
The good feature of a Peristaltic pump is that the motor don’t touch the liquid which is good because if you are going to digest the liquid you don’t get killed by toxics.
You do realize that by using a positive displacement pump (like a peristaltic pump) you don't need to go into the trouble of measuring the weight of the transferred fluid. Simply by counting the pump shaft rotations you can get a comparably reliable reading of the volume.
As a tip for drilling: Laying a sacrificial piece of wood under the piece you are drilling in will prevent tear out when the drill pokes through. You may have to clamp both pieces together tough.
Hey Scott, I have an idea about your vibration problem. Instead of mounting the 12V DC motor to the frame by screws. Have them inside of the box and glue it to a sponge or something that is a good vibration absorbent. Then have strong adhesives connected to the 12V DC motor and the sponge, both to where ever you want. Hopefull this should reduce the amount of motion.
thats a very cool idea but the only problem i see is cleaning it after use as im quite sure mold would build up within a couple of days if not cleaned manually. The only thing I could think of is after its done dispensing the drink if there was a clean cycle say using water that would push the water though the tubes to clean. other then that its very cool :)
Just a quick tip regarding wood glue: it works best when gluing two surfaces together, but is terrible at filling gaps. So instead of gluing the wood together with superglue and then filling the gaps with wood glue, I would only use wood glue. A thin layer is enough to create a super strong bond, it just needs some compression during drying. Ordinary clamps are totally fine, but when working with a rectangular shape, strap clamps are really useful. Gaps, should they remain, can be filled using wood glue mixed with an equal amount of saw dust. PS: You said beech wood, but it seems to be birch wood, but not a big deal ;)
Another commenter below brought up the idea, but how about using this type of design as an automatic mixer of paints to create different colors? Perhaps even make a sensor so as to copy samples? I do restorations of coin operated video games as a hobby and such a device would be a dream come true for me and other restorers!
you can make it customizeable without messing the code by using the rotary dial or add a SD card with a library of drinks and it will say which container goes to which pump.
Can i have a Martini?
Yeah just let me update the arduino code.
PHPO Labs lmao
Lol
you could probably make a menu with drinks and list. just be sure to change to the right fluids
add wifi chip, write simple app so the user can select the drink via smartphone
Gets you all the girls ;)
A suggested upgrade: after dispensing each ingredient, run the pump in reverse for a few seconds, to empty the portion remaining in the tube.
Another idea; to save some cost in favor of preparation speed might be using just one pump and distribute the ingredients through the tubes with valves.
Cool project.
Just a tip, pre drill your holes in the timber, you have a pillar drill. Perfect nails, no splits and you control where the nail goes. Same as electronics, provide a path of least resistance and the nail will follow
Good Job on the electronics 🙏
I will remember it for next time.
GreatScott! No need for nails. Just use glue between the surfaces and clamp them together.
I really like the fact that even though you have a CNC, you don't use it for most of your projects so simple people like me can also build them.
Can you make a Version 2 that is 3D printed?
I can put it on my to do list
Exactly my thoughts. Great and creative work Scott. You are the master
Very impractical for it to be 3D printed
Why not? Just print small parts that snap / screw together like a keurig.
Yeah 3D printing a cocktail does not seem practical at all
vodka: 1000ml
2 shots of vodka...

Perfect
Two shots of vodka???

If you re drilling holes in wood it s good to put another piece of wood under it to get a nicer hole
Hail Half life !!
That's what he said
I feel that the quantity and quality of videos can only go downhill from here, after creating such a practical and useful machine.
The moment when you make drinks on party and everybody is like: Who turned on the washing machine?
End of party:
You find someone you don't even know passed out in your washing machine with an empty glass.

That could cause problems if the pumps need primed.
I dont think this type of pump needs to be primed, looks like it should be air-tight. but then again I haven't used them.
This is the perfect project to combine with the ESP32. Making your preprogrammed drinks from anywhere in your house
A very nice project, as always. The only part that doesn't looks very good (for me) are the three tubes hanging there, i would recommend you to get a bigger black tube and put the three tubes into there, thus it will look better.
Keep working, you are awesome!

Woodworker's worst nightmare

The 5V pin of the L298N is actually an output from the build-in regulator. So no need to hook that up to 5V

It would be nice. I hope he hears us
Come on this is way better than a CNC which be nice but I'm lazy at Making cocktails and this is perfect for bloody Mary's
Great idea!

Find or make some sealed dispenser bins (something like 3” wide, 9” deep and 10” tall or something the size of the dispenser area would be that’ll hold like a half to full bottle of Bacardi, etc) sloped to the center for the tube connection, that has a sealed, but removable lid for filling/cleaning. This would prevent fruit flies, etc and can be left filled.
2. Have 4 or 6 on each side of the dispenser part (in the middle) that way you can have one for jack, Bacardi, crown royal, bourbon, triple sec, etc. I’d put a thin black piece of material between each bin with a light smoke front panel in front of all of them and put a white led light above each one.

how safe is it to move liquid from a pump like that, since you will drink it
Very as you see he replaced it with food safe silicone tube.
Kartikey Agarwal He used food safe silicone tubes plus no mechanical parts come in direct contact with the liquids, the pumps simply press and push the liquid forward in the tubes
Correct, like already stated very safe due to the food safe tube.
If the tube is food grade it should be completely safe, as the liquid doesn't get in contact with anything else.
Very. Peristaltic pumps are used in hospitals for this reason. No mechanical parts come into contact with what is being pumped.
Those pumps are like little hearts

Thanks great scott, long time viewer but I'm not a great person writing comments, I appreciate so much you take the time to still make videos. Happy Holidays
The vibration is a feature, not a bug. Mixes the drinks for you effortlessly.
The good feature of a Peristaltic pump is that the motor don’t touch the liquid which is good because if you are going to digest the liquid you don’t get killed by toxics.
thank you so much. grretings from tabasco , mexico since forever
You do realize that by using a positive displacement pump (like a peristaltic pump) you don't need to go into the trouble of measuring the weight of the transferred fluid. Simply by counting the pump shaft rotations you can get a comparably reliable reading of the volume.
It is amazing how many things an Arduino can do!
Amazing woodworking oh well it worked anyway now who wants a drink
this is why i am studying electronic engineering
Best machine ever made
As a tip for drilling: Laying a sacrificial piece of wood under the piece you are drilling in will prevent tear out when the drill pokes through. You may have to clamp both pieces together tough.
Awesome machine. But you can add a leds and beeper for control of empty bottles and for completed drink.
Those pumps would be great for some sort of automatic indoors greenroom for growing indoor food! Indoor food on mars!
I did a drink mixing machine like this one, this year for my mobile systems class. Yep, this, as a project in uni...
Very nice build. You could just mount the motors off of the side of the device to eliminate the shaking.
Hey Scott, I have an idea about your vibration problem.
Instead of mounting the 12V DC motor to the frame by screws. Have them inside of the box and glue it to a sponge or something that is a good vibration absorbent.
Then have strong adhesives connected to the 12V DC motor and the sponge, both to where ever you want.
Hopefull this should reduce the amount of motion.
The idea is damn cool a drink Mixer, in fact that you've made that with an Arduino is really impressive!
thats a very cool idea but the only problem i see is cleaning it after use as im quite sure mold would build up within a couple of days if not cleaned manually. The only thing I could think of is after its done dispensing the drink if there was a clean cycle say using water that would push the water though the tubes to clean. other then that its very cool :)
Just a quick tip regarding wood glue: it works best when gluing two surfaces together, but is terrible at filling gaps. So instead of gluing the wood together with superglue and then filling the gaps with wood glue, I would only use wood glue. A thin layer is enough to create a super strong bond, it just needs some compression during drying. Ordinary clamps are totally fine, but when working with a rectangular shape, strap clamps are really useful. Gaps, should they remain, can be filled using wood glue mixed with an equal amount of saw dust.
PS: You said beech wood, but it seems to be birch wood, but not a big deal ;)
I love creating random things. This is an awesome project 👍
This is the day what i was waiting for!
you are a great man congratulations from colombia
I love how all your stuff is in SI units. Living In canada sucks because we have to deal with animal units.
Nice job. Me and some friends made one these about 7 months ago, but we didn't use the correct type of pump.
Another commenter below brought up the idea, but how about using this type of design as an automatic mixer of paints to create different colors? Perhaps even make a sensor so as to copy samples? I do restorations of coin operated video games as a hobby and such a device would be a dream come true for me and other restorers!
you can make it customizeable without messing the code by using the rotary dial or add a SD card with a library of drinks and it will say which container goes to which pump.
you can get rid of dents which you have on the opposite side of a plywood if you put a piece of scrap wood under it when drilling
It might be a cool idea to make different types of RC cars, experimenting with different forms of wireless signals, for example, IR, Radio, wifi, etc
I put it on my to do list
Awesome!
Test run for this project must be fun
Looks like a handy device to have in case you need some impromptu dialysis.
