Making a Science Jubilee
In progress
To make any tool you will need:
- 3D printer
- Soldering iron (cheap one is fine!)
- Hex keys
(add picture of backs of tools)
The attachment side has 3 tool balls and a wedge plate. All tools have heat set inserts so the wedge plate can attached securely. All tools also have tool wings which allow them to sit on a parking post when they are not being used. (picture of parking post)
If you are just getting started making tools, it may be useful to stock up on these materials to save you time when making tools in the future. You may have some of these leftover from building your jubilee.
- tool balls
- M3 screws
- M5 screws
- heat set inserts for M3
- wedge plates
- o-rings for tool wings
- metal rods for parking post
All tools need a place to stay when they are not being used. Jubilee uses a parking post design with metal rods for a tool to rest on. Parking posts all have similar design, but the distance between the metal rods can be different depending on the tool width. The parking posts have 3D printed parts and ordered parts. To assemble a parking post you will additionally need a clamp or vice to push the metal rods into the 3D printed part.
Build Resources
- Fabrication files (individual tools will also have parking post files)
- Assembly instructions
Many tools have wires that control tool components like motors and cameras. To keep wires wires out of the way we can use large zip ties to attach the wire to which hold the wires out of the way. (Add pictures of zip tie setup)
Since tools are all different sizes, it is useful for the positions of tools to have unique offsets of their x,y,z coordinates. For example, if we are using a the 50cc and 10cc syringe, the needle will will be in different places at the same x,y coordinates. We can create offsets that translate between tools so that both needles are in the same place at any x,y coordinate. Jupiter notebook tutorial coming soon!
We use a unique bed plate that allows well plates to be placed securely in a consistent position. The bed plate uses a combination of 3D printed, laser cut, and ordered parts. The jubilee wiki has a Lab Automation Plate page with all the resources to build and set up the bed plate.
Inoculation loops can be can be used with the jubilee pen tool.
Uses
- Holding inoculation loops
- Holding other cylindrical things
- Low pressure collisions (e.g. pushing a pen into paper to write)

Build Resources
- Syringes
- Shopping list
- Fabrication files
- Assembly Instructions
- (Assembly video coming soon!)
Additional Info
The 10cc syringe tool has its own page in the Jubile3D wiki. There are more resources including code to configure the tool in duet. The tool is made to fit the syringes linked above. If you can't order the syringes linked here you may need to change the solidworks file. There are directions in the 10cc fabrication file in this repository.
Uses
- High volume liquid handling
Build Resources
- Shopping list
- Fabrication files
- Assembly Instructions
- (Assembly video coming soon!)
Additional Info
Aside from a few of the 3D printed parts, the 10cc and 50cc tools are identical, so the same assembly and shopping list is used. The Jubile3D wiki has the code to configure the tool in duet.
