13 December 14I continue to work on getting the 3D model of the case right. I had finally managed to Boolean my way to a decent 3D shape and went to cut out the phone just to discover that the model wasn't good enough. It is very important to have a...
Sharing to perhaps save someone else some frustration...Firstly, our Cocoon Create Touch (Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus) has manual bed levelling, which is fine. A minor hassle, but no big deal.We've found that using the preheating function on the machine...
This is the last improvement to the device : showing the state of my 3D printer.I already connected a Raspberry Pi, a TFT and a relay to the printer, installed Octoprint and writed a custom pygame interface (I love pygame + RPi). It allows me to control...
November 29, 2018 | ProgressTH Here is our first entry to our 3D printed opensource tool project — a 3D printed, 5v powered, 9g servo driven, thumb joystick actuated, Arduino Nano controlled electric screwdriver. All the files are available...
Looks like the 3d Test panels fit: So after waiting about 2 weeks to get the panels, they came and we have basically a working case! I won't bore you with the back panel hack job I did getting the switch and the video port mounted, it's basically...
Design Considerations: The starting point of this project was the case, I wanted something that a bottle of FormLabs resin could sit on (about 100mm diameter), or be dropped into when not in use to act as both storage and measurement system. It had...
October 2019: REDESIGN IS COMPLETE using laser cut ply for the front and rear panels to reduce the amount of 3D printing required somewhat, to reduce overall build time and also to reduce the time spent filing and fettling the keys, keyslots and so on...
This was a design I worked on back in December of 2016, I took the inspiration from a ThorLabs design, which gave me the idea to make one using a mechanical micrometer a means to manually adjust the entrance slit in increments of my choosing. Namely,...
I think 2 or 3 days ago, I was voting for the 2022 3D Printing Industry Awards and this came up: I think the last option was "Other". Now, obviously, I'm voting VLM, but I also wanted to see all the other technologies that were good enough to make...
2015: Andrey made a Monster (it over fills his two car garage) 3D printer that extrudes cement. And that was just the model for the full sized one! He started print "tiny home" sized buildings, but the current version prints...
Alright, so first log: woha... documenting stuff... feels weird.What have I done so far:I have some NEMA17 Steppers and controllers that I picked up last time I went nuts on adafruit.I have some linear ball bearings and some suitable rodsI have some...
Last july, an article was published in Nature for a new high viscosity vat printing method, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-39913-4This method is depicted below, the figure is copied from the article. It uses four rollers to apply a new layer to 3d...
The plate of the keyboard is printed flat on the print bed. And because of its size, I have to position it diagonally within my 300×300 mm print area. While I never had problems with bed levelling when printing smaller parts, this one turned...
Left wheel arch part 1/2 completed late last night!3D printing wheel arch for robotTest assembly. The covers fits nicely! Not so many parts left to print! I need to order more filament!3d printed wheel arch test assembly 3d printed wheel arch test assembly...
It is Wednesday my dudes. 09:24, 03/05/2023 Well, 5 of may will be my birthday, I hope someone suddenly appears out of nowhere with a free complete 3D CAD model of a mech... (as if). Well, I don't really need to 3D model every gear set that I would...
