One day i was tired of buying fresh herbs, but unluckily i live in a apartment, where there is not direct sunlight most of the year.Also i am a lazy guy and i wanted some kind of supervisor of the plant health and status, to track the plants, and automatize...
On this Hackaday.io and GitHub, we already have plenty of projects about OWON Bluetooth-equipped Digital Meters. Some use Arduino for interfacing BLE, some others use gattlib or other platform-dependent libs. Recently I tried Web Bluetooth...
OVERVIEW Smartphones are becoming a staple piece of technology for many citizens in North America and around the World. Smartphones and touchscreen devices enable users to navigate around their city better, to communicate with others more freely, and...
I've come into a few stepper motors, and have been scratching my head about how to connect something to them. You can buy pulleys, but you'll pay good money for any kind of metal collets. I hate paying more for a collet than just buying a new...
Video can be found here: STL and Fusion 360 source files can be found here: https://bbprojects.technology/collections/stl-fusion-360-source-files/products/delta-belt-3d-printer The Idea I needed a way to print a lot small parts (cable chain pieces)...
I have a very specific development cycle for projects like this. First build something out of legos and see where the difficult bits are. A twisted rod or a brick flying off is a pretty good indication where one might want to rethink structure and power...
For the last few weeks, I have been studying The Engineer Guy's video and book about Albert Michelson's Harmonic Analyser with the intent to learn whether it could be made into a 3D printable model in OpenSCAD. A big challenge for me was to learn names...
After having our son wake us up multiple times in the middle of the night we decided to make the Okay to Wake clock better. My wife had the idea that if there was a color for "Sleep" and an other color one hour before waking up ("Doze") it would help...
Prototype on YoutubeThis project is a work in progress. It uses Chainsaw blade sections wrapped around the original belt drive shaft powered by a cheap $20 craigslist treadmill. Only the frame that houses the motor, belt and belt pully set on top of...
I've been meaning to make a binary wall clock for a while and to also try out kerf bending with the laser cutter. What put me off creating kerf bends before I found OpenSCAD, was the manual creation of all the lines in the right places. It's the kind...
This started out as a cable driven mechanism, but I converted it to belt drive when I found cables to be a bit too troublesome. It's a single level corexy mechanism with 3D printed motor mounts, pulley blocks, and Y axis bearing blocks. The...
ApplicationI need a slew ring for my next SCARA prototype, as it will be geared. Here is the first prototype. which is direct drive:And this is what I want to be when I grow up:What is with 2.5D I don't have a 3D printer so I have to work with 2D (i.e...
On the homepage of Slice Engineering [0], the manufacturer of the Mosquito hotend, I followed a link to a modified extruder for the Prusa i3 MK3S [1]. I had a quick look at it, but decided to improve my designing skills by creating a new extruder. In...
I’ve been able to get Filament during quarantine and a kilo will last me quite a while through designing and prototyping iterations. So I’ve been working on improving my design and making skills for mechanical gizmos. adcurtin made one, here it is in...
The Dallas Rangemaster is a treble-boosting guitar effects pedal from the 1970s. Plenty of good info online about these units; for a brief history, take a gander at this article.The original Rangemaster is an extremely simple design: it's essentially...
