Have started work on 3D printing the prototype fin can, finally ditching the cardboard. The black part's notches for the servos are too small, reprinting at the moment
This project is quite long in my head already. Some time ago I did allready some work on PCB layout. At this time I was planing using bluetooth (HC-06 Modules). This will change now, but I will reuse parts of this old PCB-design. But I did made some...
The path for the default 3D packages like for the pin headers and the capacitor was wrong, and for the crystal and the QFN IC I drew a package with ViaCAD Pro. Was easy to integrate in KiCad exported as VRL:Back side:
currently printing all of this, I already forgot the tooth count and ratio of the gear box, but I think it's something like 1:5 or 1:6. Or maybe it was 1:10. Reminds me a bit of my #Locomatrix - 3D POV - a different approach
I created a 3D printed enclosure in OpenSCAD for mounting the LEDs above my bed. It has 4mm mounting holes for a laser cut matte acrylic cover.Source files can be found here: https://github.com/Hylian/Star-LED-Enclosure
New, slightly improved design is just put into production in a professional 3D-Printing house.I've chosen Nylon PA12 with an 80µm layer height in semigloss black.The prize @100 pcs. comes down to a few Euros.This is a render of the current CAD model....
I 3D printed a simple front and rear panel, top cover and potentiometer knob. Unfortunately, panels are a bit warped but it doesn't look so bad. Heatsinks are mounted on wood board.
This is the pico gateway in a 3D printed case.4 self tapping screws are used to keep the enclosure parts together: M2.6 x 8mm4 self tapping screws are used to mount the PCB to the enclosure: M2 x 4mm
Prompted by a question on the JPL Open Source Rover web forum, I compiled all the 3D resources I had collected on Mars rover Curiosity. This reference data helped Sawppy match Curiosity's overall proportions and suspension geometry, which was my goal...
Instead of smacking the components together in a sandwich box I decided to design a fancy 3D printed enclosure for my components. Stacking them up in a pyramid fashion like you see in the HTC One for example.Here's a little render:As you might be able...
Here's a realistic 3D printable case idea. Larger than I want for a final design, it will be sufficient for a prototype.It's 4.6" W X 6.2" H X 1.25" D. It would use 3D printed keys as well.There's still a lot of mechanical design that will have to be...
After quite a while I've started to work on the next version of the Tricorder! I've had the hardware partially built for a while now but I'm starting to get the casing worked out in 3d so I (and anyone that wants to) can print it. It's going to take...
