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
With over 20 3D printed parts, this was a long process. The printer used is an Anycubic Kossel Delta. 0.15 mm layer height. Just regular PLA+. Different infill and parameter configurations for different pieces.Overall printing time was about a week....
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....
Nothing beats the little 3D-printer when prototyping. I have a Creality Ender-3 that recently replaced my older TronXY, and I absolutely love it!Three parts have been printed so far, the rest still being designed. The first parts make up the turntable,...
3D Printing: Having never owned a 3D printer, I purchased a printer and started taking my modeling abilities to the next level. After learning a few important lessons in 3D printing (mistakes), I was up and running. It takes a day or more...
It's been a fun few days on the project.I spoke with a group that connects non-profits with needs to makers with skills. That could turn out to be a really good way to get more dementia-friendly music players to people that need them.I talked with a...
With most aquariums, you need a filter to remove muck, and also to extract toxins from the water. I used to make filters out of PVC tubing, but i decided to design a filter that would be fully 3D printable, and modular. I may create a separated project...
Here is a test print on a 3D-printed PETG panel:I started by coating the panel with some UV paint.This is the mask that will be used:I exposed the mask for 25 minutes:Cleaning-up the unexposed paint:The letters and lines came out pretty thick, that may...
Since an improvised cardboard-version of this "brightness booster" showed promising results in this project log (with video), I went into setting up a 3D printable version of the brighntess booster in OpenSCAD. This add-on adresses some...
The Problem Even though 3D printing is a newly emerging technology, it has rapidly became mainstream in education, manufacturing and many other industries. 3D printers allow anyone to easily produce complex parts. However, these machines have one critical...
Trying something(s) different here: different layout for more compact footprint3d printed parts instead of laser cut partslonger and now cheaper generic flavor of motor+screw unit for larger work area It's still work in progress, but seems like it might...
We have been busy trying to figure out how to scale our Google Group and what types of 3D prints people actually want to teach their students, and have been excited that some undergrads at University of North Carolina have jumped in as part of a community...
Here is a picture of the 3D printed case before finish.I actually printed it in 5 separate parts that i than glued together with epoxy. Did this because of the limitations of the pint-bed size and because i didn't want such long time prints. (I have...
I've printed my first attempt at a case for DrumKid. It's still a long way from a finished instrument, but it's a great start - it feels awesome to see, hold, and use a thing that until recently only existed as a drawing. My current plan for the final...
I have an old 3D printer, an UP3D mini to be specific. It has a build volume of just 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. That's pretty small by modern standards.Additionally, the bed-heater is fixed at 60 degrees centigrade and in it's original factory state, it only...
