Dredge ( Richbolden´s Dredge)

That´s the version of now. Some parts i Upgrade, but not printed and installed yet. The most parts i´ve changed after the are broken or not usebel. The angle for the Flow in the Sluice is now fine. All parts are Stable and Fix on his Places on the dredge. Also is it possible to unmount all parts to fix broken parts, (not perfekt, but possible) or use the sluice without the dregde or the pump.

  On this verion is the pump on the dredge mounted, but possible to put it off, if the gold an the water are far away from another. i installed a long wire to a karabiner hook. thee hook comes in a belt on my body. everywhere i go, the dredge come with me, or still stable on his place where i dredge. The pump is so mounted, that the dirt from the Sluice not hit her. I put the V shield on the Back of the Dredge, that all material not hit the Wheelholding Part. The position of the Pump housing is now Stable on his position, the hole dredge wickel a lot lesser, thats better for water with a lot of waves. Also is it possible to switch the position of the pump housing for few centimeters, for better balancing, if you switch between a 3Ah, 4Ah or 5,2 Ah Akku, they weight all different i learnd last time. I Upgrade from PET Bottles to 2x Poolnoodle, for better Swimming and better balance. Also they are more stable then PET bottle and not minimizing after contakt with cold water. The Grey part of the poolnoodle is a isolation for Pipes. I take it for a bigger diameter for the noodle, that i can re-use the holder from the bootle. The Frame is a old Fuse box that i found, i´ve a second in the garage.
• The White Foam is old packing from Stuff i orderd online. Old trash re-used. Also the tires, they are from a old tribike from my kids. I buy only a 6mmx40mm Rod for the Tires. Old Flash threads 6mm i´ve had already from a old Projekt, also the blue Rod connection i used as Stopper for the Wheels
• Rod connector 6mm.

• Don´t ask for the screws, i´ve a box with 10000screws from year 1900- today. i used what i found.
• The most part of the dredge is ductape :-)
• The white cords are, Roller-blind cord. i print just clamps. The white feets for the cords are parts of the origanl Fury box.
• That´s all stuff i already had at home. if you need i measure the cord.

The PUMP: 

Einhell GE SP 18 LL li solo 4500l/h - tested and worked

Einhell GE-SP18 li solo 5000l/h -tested and worked

Maybe also possible:

Einhell GE-DP 18/25 li solo 7500l/h, this have more suction power in the nozzle.

THE Sluice:

Dredge Sluice Clipper 1,2,3:

You need 1 of each, one is bigger then the next. with all three it is possible to lift the sluice a little bit up, if you need this on some spots for better flow in the sluice. you can only Nr. 1 of this three 3 times if you don´t need extra lift. 

Any questions? contact me, i answer in bad english. :-)

i make a video from the building and for better understanding.

Have Fun and maybe a Gold Nugget after!
