The farmers are usually small land owners with little to no requirement for machinery. For these small scale farmers, cracking walnut with hand crusher is a tedious task and to overcome the issues of ergonomics and usability, the following walnut cracker is designed.\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\n# PLA filament- $2\n## https://www.youmagine.com/designs/walnut-cracker-40-28\n\n== Tools needed ==\n\n# [[Athena Build Overview|MOST Delta RepRap]] or similar RepRap 3-D printer\n# PLA Filament\n\n== Skills and knowledge needed ==\n\n* If you used special skill – link to relevant wikipedia or wikiversity articles/courses\n\n== Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions ==\n\n# From the above mentioned link of Youmagine,, Download all the STL files and print one of each stl file with infill of more than 30%.\n# Time to assembly is less then 5 minutes\n\n=== Steps to Construct ===\n\n{{Step\n| number = 1\n| text = Print out the parts\n| image = File:Parts walnut.jpg\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 2\n| text = Insert the peg between press_cylinder and support_arm.\n| image = File:Img2 walnut.jpg\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 3\n| text = Insert the peg between the upper support arm and the handle.\n| image = File:Img3 walnut.jpg\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 4\n| text = Insert the last peg between the cylinder and the handle\n| image = File:Screen Shot 2018-12-06 at 3.33.30 AM.jpg\n}}\n\n{{Step\n| number = 5\n| text = Completed Prototype\n| image = File:Image walnut.jpeg\n}}\n\n=== Common Problems and Solutions ===\n\n* Weld the pegs shut at the ends by using a little heat so that they stay in place.\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n* Commercially available solution cost upwards of $60.\n# The cost to print this device is $2\n# Saves the user anywhere between $58 to $80 and hence this device costs only about 3% of the commercially available version\n# commercial model [https://www.lemproducts.com/product/walnut-cracker/veggie-fruit-tools?r=adwords-pla&src=ADWORDPLA&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=MerchAdv&utm_content=1012&gclid=Cj0KCQiArqPgBRCRARIsAPwlHoVE1aQSA2rm1Aa968TBxzjfXkGKDrZdyneMx3vZrRhQs4XiWOk8m84aAiqoEALw_wcB]\n\n== Benefited Internet Communities ==\n\n* Small scale agriculture [https://www.appropedia.org/Small_scale_agriculture]\n* Food and agriculture [https://www.appropedia.org/Category:Food_and_agriculture]\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, ergonomic tool, nut cracker, walnuts, osat\n| sdg = SDG08 Decent work and economic growth\n| published = 2018\n| organizations = Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MY4777, MTU\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:food]]\n[[Category:How tos]]\n[[Category:Food and agriculture]]\n[[Category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]\n[[Category:3D printing]]"}
