Each box is made up of four pieces of 3 mm acrylic sheet, bonded together with Weld-On 4. The side panels are 150 x 220 mm, and the front/rear panels are 100 x 220 mm. As I don't have access to a laser/CNC currently, I ordered them custom cut from...
I wanted to start off the documentation of this project by getting into why I think this is worth while and what the general concept is...THE WHY:Being on HACKADAY, I think it safe to assume that we all understand the concept of 3D printing and what...
OK, I've picked the 350-pound unit up in NJ and brought it home to MA and I'm currently constructing a rolling stand out of aluminum extrusions that I'm reusing from another lot of surplus laboratory items. Once I get the machine on wheels, I'll park...
We run a small hydroponic lettuce farm on our rooftop and need to plant about 600 lettuce seeds per week. This took between 2 and 3 hours to do it manually, seed by seed. We recently built an iPrusa 3D printer and I got inspired to build something to...
Overview The final project features a scaled model of the Empire State Building and its lights. The lights are the project’s main component, as it is coded to display different...
According to assembling manual, the hardware installation is easy. Only we need to use finger to rub basing on the embarrassing angle of the stepper motor. - See more at: http://www.robotdigg.com/news/138/RobotDigg-Kossel-3D-Printer-Kit-Tutorial#sthash.o4JGTK0X.dpufAlthough...
As low-cost desktop 3D printing is now dominated by free and open source self-replicating rapid prototype (RepRap) derivatives, there is an intense interest in extending the scope of potential applications to manufacturing. This study describes a manufacturing...
Printed Circuit Board The main component of the PCB is the Hi-Link AC-DC converter. The PCB is designed to accomodate either the HLK-PMxx or the HLK-5Mxx series component footprint. They are available in several voltages. You can find them on Amazon,...
We are an independent space in Oxford for the hacking needs of our diverse, creative and talented maker community. Thanks to the generous support of The Oxford Trust, we have a lovely new space in the basement of their building, the Oxford Centre for...
Originally a product of Adept Technology, three decommissioned industrial assembly line robots combined into one. Closed Loop 400W AC Servos with 4096pt Absolute Encoders. 1394 IEEE (Firewire) based control system. 157Lb rated capacity at full speed....
Goal:Create a 3D printer for teaching users about the basics of laser SLA printing while encouraging users to experiment with new resins, and slicing algorithm. This printer would be an affordable way for makers to print wax resin and utilize investment...
The first concept was to 3d print a threaded sleeve to glue to the outside of the top of the barrel, with a matching cap equipped with a tank valve (design pictured). This was rejected for the following reasons: 1. The temperature resistance of...
This project is about a kitchen scale. Operation: See the following video to understand how to operate and calibrate the scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGyq23pixPM The challenges for this project were: To provide a nice looking flat design kitchen...
Demo Video **NOTE: If you are hoping to get a quick overview of this project, please watch this brief two minute video.** [Figure 1: Robot Demo Video] Background The Problem with Traditional Manufacturing Traditional manufacturing involves developing...
The GT2 belt in combination with the nema 17 stepper motor is currently the most common form of linear motion for 3D printers. This combination offers an economic solution to linear motion for most 3D printers, however it is not...
