Is it ok to use pump motors on 3v? #17

Open stefancvetkovic opened 3 months ago

stefancvetkovic commented 3 months ago

Hello, your aliexpress link points to water pumps on 3V, model A, but you said that motor pumps should be on 5v?

Can you please provide some additional links for buying these motors? Thanks

Hi, there is one link but in the shop, there are 2 versions, Model "B JSB1523" is 5V Model "A JQB1523" is 3V. Datasheet https://github.com/PricelessToolkit/Droplet/blob/main/Water_Pump_JSB1523008.pdf

Yes, I know that there are two models A and B, one operates on 5v and other on 3v. Regarding the 3D case and your youtube demo video, I would say that I need model A, which operates on 3V?

But you said in readme.md file: 5x Micro Pump outputs "5v"

So as far I can see I have two options:

  1. use model B (parallel water nozzles), but then I will need to edit just a little bit 3D model for the housing OR
  2. use model A and not to be worried because it operates on 3v?

Thanks,

you dont need to modify anything it is the same size. use 5v version.

stefancvetkovic commented 3 months ago

so your recommendation is to use type B water pump on 5v? Your design of enclosure is designs to support type A water pumps, nevertheless, I mount type B, and it works just fine, I will then just do another casing for this type of water pumps

There is no difference between Type A or B; when you screw the lid, it holds both Type A and B pumps.

Ok, I will let then leave it as is. Model B motors (parallel nozzles) on 5V. Thanks!
