I used to be in precisely the identical predicament a couple of years in the past so I constructed one from scratch. It is moveable as in 5KG! (not 12!), runs for two hours+ on a light-weight battery, can do as many shuttles as I would like and may do what the siboasi does. This demo is ready up for 75 shuttles which for me is a candy spot between portability and comfort.
I would not pay £800 for that personally with out seeing it in individual, it appears a bit restricted, the feeding mechanism is a rotator, very fundamental, – have you ever observed they do not have demonstrations of it hitting down additionally? I might be a bit cautious of that. At £400 I could be tempted however at £800 you are not that far off the cheaper siboasi’s that are in a distinct league.
Additionally stacking that many shuttles might be going to make the feeder unreliable and The rotator mechanism could be very comparable one they use within the cheapo feeder that I bought for £60 after I first began out. I do not know.
It additionally would not look like it could actually decelerate nicely sufficient and pace up once more to do respectable drops and clears in the identical routine. Have a look at the time between the clear and drop within the demo. They have not put in an indication of 4 nook observe both. Does it even go left/proper?
It appears prefer it’s utilizing the large can DC motors so not very environment friendly energy clever, however they are often changed simply.
There’s quite a bit that may go flawed with them so until you understand how to restore them your self I might watch out shopping for one. Even one thing as fundamental because the wheel foam/rubber sporting down goes to trigger you hassle until you will get spares and change it your self.
You should use that one to coach a couple of strokes however I feel you would possibly discover it arduous to get an actual profit from it aside from that. The true time from hitting a shot after which transferring into the web is round a second so the motors have to decelerate in a short time from doing the clear to get a good drop in. That is very arduous for a feeding machine to do, and with out that you could be as nicely simply put the shuttle in a single place.
Should you can afford £800 simply then yeah, however I am simply pointing this out to bind your expectations. Having a feeder is nice and it could be well worth the danger, however you really want 2 feeders speaking with one another to do respectable routines. The issue with feeders is also you must fill them again up!
I am at the moment within the means of refining my design so I can get 2 feeders collectively at round 7kg, though I’ve a coaching companion now! and I’ve no plans to commercialise it. I’m extremely tempted to do a youtube video although going into the ins and outs of it
