Jigsolve: Nozzle news

Thank you to everyone who has sent in links, tips, and offers of help for finding the right nozzle.

Not much has happened. I was gone on a Family new years vacation for two weeks and this right now I’m playing catch-up, filling orders and writing code.

While on the trip I tried to search various chinese suppliers for nozzles. I even reached out to a instagram user xyzaidan to make me a one-off nozzle. (He works in soft robotics, it was a natural fit.) So now I need a rotation system to go with the custom nozzle that is air-tight, unlike the previous generation.

I hope that early next week I’ll have some time to model another nozzle system, one that is completely air-tight, structurally sound, easy to reassemble, and quick to manufacture.

Jigsolve: Soft nozzle wanted

Currently looking for a new way to turn pieces while maintaining good suction grip, and a soft nozzle. Silicone? Please comment with your suggestions.

Nozzle should be <=5mm wide, so it doesn’t go off the edge of the jigsaw pieces.

There must also be a way to rotate the nozzle so the pieces can be turned to fit with their neighbors.

All of this will have to work with a hose at least 120cm long, probably more.

uArm has a very good fit, but I can’t find information on the nozzle, rotation system, contact switch, hose, etc.

Do you have information? Please post it in the comments below.
