I haven't putzed about with the v0.1 base at all, but I think I've got a motor mount design that I like. It's got the split bolt setup for securing the motor (including a cutout for holding a 2-56 nut), and the legs are cool lofted dealies. Lots of radii...
Announcing a major new capability: CylinDraw makes for an excellent paper plotter! The hardware needed to enable this capability only requires the addition of a large tube to wrap the paper around and two rubber bands to secure the paper in place....

We asked, you listened! Last weeks Hacklet ended with a call for more Halloween themed projects on Hackaday.io. Some great hackers uploaded awesome projects, and this week's Hacklet is all about featuring them. Every one of our featured projects was...
Hackers, makers, and engineers have long had a love affair with number crunching. Specifically with the machines that make crunching numbers easier. Today it may be computers, smart watches, and smartphones, but that wasn’t always the case. In the 50’s...
We featured 3D printer projects on last week’s Hacklet. This week, we’re looking at a few awesome projects created with those printers. Trying to pick great 3D printed projects on Hackaday.io is a bit like staring at the sun. There are just way too many...
Humans have always wanted to make small things bigger. To see that which is unseen with the naked eye. The inventor of the original microscope happened sometime in the 1600’s, though the inventor is still contested. Some say it was Cornelis Drebbel,...
On the smaller system I picked up a 1000l/s Pfeiffer turbo to put on it as well. It had a bad bearing and I picked up another one and installed it. Oil was a pain to come across, very specific for the pump, a fomblin. The biggest issue was mounting...
I tend to have very shaky hands, especially when attempting to take photos, so in addition to building a small booth, I also purchased a tripod (10$) and a macro lens ($15) for my phone. The tripod has a couple of features I really like. For one,...
The Pop Can Claw is now finished and picking up pop cans. It is not capable of picking up the large cans (they are too heavy for the current design). Instead it can pick up the short 8 FL OZ or narrow 7.5 FL OZ cans. The design uses the extended fingers...

Though the old Tesla keybaord I described here and here and described by @Benchoff in #Metal Dome Keyboard is still in my drawer in amount higher than small, I'm looking for alternatives for my MiniBSD. I found one in here, for the case the listing is...
Working on the badge dimensions, I took a digital caliper and measured a few bits on the earpiece. It's roughly 46.51 x 16.09 mm and shaped like a surfboard. The narrow end is about 5.14mm tall while the other is about 12.38mm. The microphone is encased...
Had hundreds of problems. So many that I dismantled the entire thing and gave up. After some inspiration from [kmancreeper412] and my mom, I took the parts I had and started over. Also the propellant cannon fired a few homemade foam rubber darts,...
