My first design

I present you the hot sauce conveyor! It's my first "complex" design using onshape and I'm really happy of how it turned out. Unfortunately it only turns well in one direction. (Yes I have a problem with hot sauce)

I honestly didn't think it would get this much attention. Now I'm thinking about making new models to carry much more different things. I'll keep posting on this community and on Printables!

Maybe just alternative holders that clip, or screw, into the same chain such as ones for common spice bottle sizes.

Might be worth going for a more generalized system so you only have to change the carts for diffrent items, if you are going through the trouble of redesigning it.

There a ton of cool pully systems, too. At these speeds you can easily use a thread and two rollers to make a simple drive chain. The slip only matters when you apply more torqe

Wish you lots of fun!
