Ypsili oil posted about this awhile ago, not sure how it’s so secret lol.

i should totally print a centrifuge tube rack for the panda…

every time @StoneD would tell people about it, he would say something like:

ā€œthis is a secret tek, no one knows about itā€

While he told everyone about it

That was the joke

I’m glad our personalities are alike and glad you got that.

On wednesday im making the most fire carts in the universe

Lol, this is where I’m too literal. I have the worst sense of humor apparently.

There are tubes that you disassemble in two parts. Look for ā€œcentrifugal filtration unitsā€. This is nice for small samples of max few grams, and still requires a high grade centrifuge. For larger batches, recristalzation in adapted solveents sounds more convenient.

Been uaing the ebay fuge for a couple months now. Its solid. The amazon tubes @FicklePickle linked are :fire:

I’m kinda late to this thread, is this to separate mined diamonds from sauce ?

What’s panda rpm?
Blood centrifuge is like 3500

I’m making an insert for the centrifuge we sell and having the boys in fabrication whip me up some 2L stainless tubes with a variety of sintered material inserts in varying micron.

Hopefully can run 4-6 liters of crude per spin.

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS ON A CHEAP FUGE!

3200 rpm iirc.

I have a jedi trick with washing/filtering thru a panda. Almost floodable w/o issues.

Now I said ā€œfloodableā€ not spinning and washing.

The cheep ass fuge I bought was like $180 and it runs 6oz’s in 1-1.5hrs I wouldn’t even bother with making it for the panda.

Please do

What matters more are the corresponding ā€œgā€ you get for a given rotor dimensions. The smaller the rotor, the fasterr it must spin for an equivalent centtrifugal force.

I had to buy two of those little fuges to get anything done. A large throughout option would be really nice. For the price though, these little shits can’t be beat

i think the vessel needs to be an an angle or the molecules wont slide up and down. that’s why you see fuges with 4-6 vessels. so they can angle them and balance it all out.

A for effort and A+ for balls. also you highlight a good issue. we need to come up with a fuge specifically for separating crystals and mother liquor.

we started brainstorming today. need a good motor with speed > torque. and then a frame to hold vessels. the design of the china fuge is very simple. i see now they sell ones with 4 100ml tubes. looks like the same unit with a different ruber tube frame.

then you need to design optimal vessel. SS? can’t see and heavy. plastic? glass?

my cheap fuge says it gos 4k rpm. the panda says 3.2k rpm. probably good enough. does the mass of load effect this? i don’t know much about electric motors.

i’d like to be able to do at least 500g at a time. i need 4 cheap fuges. it’s still cost effective, but it’s tedious work emptying those little 50 ml tubes.
