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...
July 25, 2017 | ProgressTH This is the latest indoor system we are working on. It is a small tabletop aquaponics system using a 350mm tall by 220mm diameter cylindrical glass container (14.5 liters/3.8 gallons), a modified 6 liter water bottle planter...
I was able to 3D print the nut retainers today and they came out great, still need to order the Shapeways parts to really put the entire assembly together. I'll be kicking that order off this Friday and will have enough components to get the Z-axis together...
This log will include a few tips on 3D printing FEDs. Please feel free to add your own tips in the comments! 1. A note on suppports: The printer we use is cheap and does the job, the Sindoh 3DWox (This is not an endorsement of this printer...
July 16, 2016 | ProgressTH We've had some trouble printing our needle disposal system caps because of threading on the inside and the inability to use supports. There was a heavy stringing-effect rendering the threads nearly useless and unsightly. [image...
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...
Okay top piece came out great. I added brim to print file and put a ton of hairspray down while heating. This seemed to work. It was struck on the bed of the printer really good. And no Lifting at all. Plus i re-leveled the bed before i started. so i...
3D printing finally allowed lions to mount the gopro on a carbon fiber rod instead of aluminum angle rod. It was much more stable & the energy burn was much less. It only burned 280mAh/mile. That may be a charging anomaly, but...
My first assignment was to print the 3D needed parts. I used my Prusa MK3s and Red and Black PLA. I printed 'ALMOST' all the parts from the .stl files posted by Roger. However, I used some variations: Mirrored Parts: I printed the 4 corner...
Electronics need to go in a box so they don't get dusty. When I started this project in 2019 I didn't have a 3D printer and so the case was built out of some aluminum duct work and scrap wood. There are pictures at the bottom of this post.I spent most...
I decided to design an enclosure for this project for 3D printing. I want it to be waterproof, and functionnal. I'm finishing the design, but here is what it looks like : The box is parametric, and dimensions can be adjusted. In this version, it contains...
I will try to be clear and concise in these instructions to help you have a successful print the first time. I have placed the pictures in the top bar in the order of the download on the Thingiverse page. I will also have the instructions and names in...
Good evening guys, how are you doing today? I am making great advances with my wireless-batteryless mouse project: even started designing a 3D-printed case for it!. I decided that I will be working both hardware and software in paralell, due to my will...
We've spent the past month getting two new chassis built, color coordinated this time. Getting the first robot built, tested, and controllable took quite a while. The BB2 robot was designed, built, assembled, and disassembled more times than a sane...
