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.

Dear Sir, Your project is mainly about building a reliable and practical automation system that stays simple, serviceable, and easy to maintain over long-term daily use. I can help design and build the complete crepe automation rig using standard maker components, 2020 aluminum profiles, Arduino Mega, stepper motors, servos, and peristaltic pumps. The spreading mechanism can be designed with controlled circular motion similar to a manual T-spreader for consistent batter distribution. I also understand the importance of thermal management around the griddle area, especially for electronics, IR sensing, and chocolate pump heating. I have experience with mechatronics systems, motor control, embedded automation, 3D printed assemblies, and practical prototype machine building. The folding and dispensing section can be kept mechanically simple using guided hinged flaps instead of complex robotic arms for better reliability. I can provide full assembly, wiring, firmware development, motion tuning, and functional testing before shipping. The machine will be designed for easy maintenance and replacement of common off-the-shelf components. Estimated timeline depends on final mechanical scope and sourcing, but the project can be structured in rapid prototype stages. Ready to review the attached spec sheet and discuss shipping, safety, and motion details further.

Hello, Thank you for the detailed brief — this is a practical electro-mechanical build centered on reliable automation rather than industrial overengineering, which is exactly the right approach for this kind of food-prep rig. My experience is stronger in system architecture, electronics integration, embedded control, and mechanical workflow planning than in full physical fabrication/shipping of complete assembled machinery. To represent that accurately: I can contribute strongly to control logic, Arduino-based sequencing, motion architecture, subsystem design, BOM strategy, and manufacturable mechanical/electrical coordination, but I am not best positioned as a turnkey workshop fabricator personally building and shipping the final physical machine. For this project, your best-fit candidate is likely a hands-on prototype builder or small automation workshop with proven experience in: • 2020 extrusion builds • Food-safe mechanical design • 3D printing + assembly • Arduino/stepper integration • End-to-end fabrication and international shipping I appreciate the clarity of your request and want to keep my profile aligned honestly. Your concept is very achievable with off-the-shelf mechatronics, and a practical machine builder should be able to execute it effectively within your intended scope. Best regards, Engr. Muhammad Uzair
