Using it! I've decided I need a transmission for testing out the #FilaMecanum concept, so this is going to be it. Background First I think I need to explain how a normal planetary drivetrain is constructed. The power input...
Cats are a nuisance. They don't listen to commands, they don't obey any directive unless under the threat of discipline, and worst of all they know exactly what it is they're doing. One of the troubles I've had is keeping my tornado of fur and teeth...
Video can be found here: As mentioned above i thought it would be nice to test if it would be possible to 3D-print watertight hydraulic parts. Gears The gears used inside the pump are double helical gears, also called herringbone gears. I chose...
They were plenty of challenges with this piano. I wanted all bullet ticked: - Cheap - Big but could fit in a car (from 1 to 8 meters long) - Expandable (from 1 to 8 octaves now) - Strong (it's for kids, even if adults love to play too) - No moving...
I've been here once. It's awesome. They have plenty of space and awesome tools. It's just a bit too far for me to get a membership.I am not affiliated with the Syracuse Area Learning and Technology (SALT) Makerspace. If anyone from SALT would like to...
The necessary schematic, board files, and test code can be found below. The entire design has been validated, and is set up for production using OSHPark's PCB service, with parts all available from Digikey.The board was made using entirely 0805 passives...
Started working on the mathematics required for addressing the workspace.In particular I wanted to look at gears, cogs, bevels, racks and threads which all share the same basic geometry. I wanted to build this into the mill's core to take some of the...
This project came about when thinking about how to stop myself from eating everything on my plate at every meal. The concept is similar to brushing teeth then drinking orange juice. Brushing your teeth overall isn't unpleasant, but eating or drinking...
This is an introductory project to the ESP8266. Adding some small bits of hardware and programming creates a wireless bridge to infrared-controlled devices. I wanted to emulate the Global Cache protocol since I have an ITach Wifi2IR and other software...
www.baltimorehackerspace.orgPlease RSVP on our meetup page here so we know how many mouths we need to feed:https://www.meetup.com/Baltimore-Hackerspace/events/239131614/The event will be supplemented by a good old fashioned Hackerspace cookout. Burgers,...
it is done! check out Mao in the making in 115 seconds! follow our gantt chart: https://bit.ly/2tJST4s Sustainability is a very big word that carries plenty of weight. It is not easily understood by all. Hence the purpose of this partnership is to create...
A common task in robotics is to create rotational motion with high rotational resolution and/or high torque on the output side.A strain wave gear is the ideal solution for this. High Torque Capacity - The power is transmitted through the engagement...
Well I finished it up, and finally got the RC values from the transmitter and receiver synced up. Had to make the LSB an unsigned char before I could do math on it, I kept getting weird results. Now everything works great and I did a little...
I will update the project soon, stay tuned. Let's talk about reduction gearReduction gear is the main part of an industrial robot arm. As a hobby project, nobody wants the parts too expensive , 3d printed reduction gearbox is definitely a good way to...
This linear actuator is almost completely 3D printed (except for the thread and some bolts, nuts and bearings).I currently don't have any position feedback or limited switches installed on it, I will add them in the feature when I'm going to integrate...
