The first challenge in designing this clock was to find a suitable motor. Old electric clocks use AC synchronous motors, but they are getting hard to find. I tried microwave oven motors. They are not designed for continuous operation...
Although 3D printing is relatively new to the dental industry, 3D-printed dental casts exhort countless benefits and opportunities when creating dental products. However, after perusing recent articles on 3D printing applications in the dental industry,...
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...
The Motivation Have you ever opened a jar of food, used half of its content and then stored it in the fridge, forgotten for who knows how long? When you finally notice it, you can't remember when you opened it, leaving you with this decision: do...
Full Description:The title of my final year Multimedia Design project (Actuality and Artificiality) is an adaptation of the post-modernist philosopher Jean Baudrillard’s ideology, Simulacra and Simulation: Simulacra as object and Simulation as process....

First, I printed the motor carrier, then gently file the inside channel until it moves freely on the track. 3d printed parts were printed using PLA at .2mm layer height and 30% fill.Add the wheels using 3mm x 8mm screws. The wheels should turn freely,...
Open-Source Robot Building Kit and Development Environment The main products in this robot building kit are: 1) Ethernet Modules (PCBs) a) EthMotors - a Microchip PIC32 controls up to 12 motors (up to 2.8A each, using 12 Texas Instruments'...
Introduction Op amps are well known for their utilitarian prowess, performing many vital tasks underpinning analog circuit design. They add, subtract, integrate, differentiate, and amplify with great precision! That’s all well and good…...
Short Description 40x40 t-slot profiles form the 470x500x550mm (HxWxD) sized frame. The large build volume of 300x300mm can be used with up to five Materials. This is achieved by water-cooled exchangeable tool heads. The tools do not have their own cooling,...
Link to the github page: https://github.com/Trakyan/BevelCNC/tree/masterHere is a little rundown of the machine I plan to build for myself. I'm using M5 hardware, just because I happen to have a bunch of it on hand. M5 seems like the good size to...
I tried to make it as small as possible, considering features like:- 4,3" 16:9 pal rca screen- Keyboard- Wifi- Bluetooth- 2 x USB - Battery with charging circuitimage is in a wip stage where i had too resolder the usb hubIm not very sure what battery...
For some time I've wanted a simple hand-held altimeter that is easy to read and can be used in the car or while hiking. There are plenty of smartphone apps for this but they can be awkward: pull the phone out, unlock it, swipe for the appl, etc.. Sometimes...
Introduction: Hey there! Today, I'm excited to share my experience with you as I delve into the world of pen plotting. I have always wanted to try one of these! I will tell you right now that I am a complete novice. I have only seen these in videos and...
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...
