3D Print Raaco Handybox Inserts (A9-1)
Log from Parts Boxes
At first, I bough extra compartment inserts. But realized shortly after getting my first 3D printer, that designing and printing my own was going to be cheaper and quicker. The dimensions of the smallest box are specified as 39mm wide x 55mm deep...

3D Printing the Mechanical Coupling
Log from Proxxon MF70 CNC Conversion
The plan for the mill is to temporarily convert the X and the Y axis to CNC control using 3D printed parts. Then I should be able to use the 2 axis cnc to machine the final axes conversions. I have got temporary access to a Makerbot 2X which does a great...

3D printing and GrabCAD
Log from TOME - Portable 3D Printer
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...

3D printed brackets
Log from [ModAir] Monochrome LCD Modules
I designed some supporting brackets to sandwich the LCD Module to the PCB. Standard 0.1" female header pins were used on the PCB side, with the male header pins on the LCD side. This brings the PCB separation to 11.0 mm. With 1.6 mm PCB thickness on...

Rejuvenating my 12 year old 3D Printer
Log from RETRO 1 - Home Computer Console
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...

3D-Printed Parts
Log from ROVER-X
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...

3. 3D printing
Log from Solar-Powered Tech Fashion - SolarCycle&Microsoft
There are jackets with solar panels on them currently in the market. But they all have the solar panels flat on the back. Does it actually collect enough sunlight when they are vertical? I wanted my solar panel to face the sun. Since this would make...

New 3D-models
Log from FATCAT: Altoids Tin Mod Tracker
As I discussed in the previous log I've decided to modify the build to fit the speaker below the PCB, instead of gluing it to the lid of the Altoids tin. The first thing to do was to determine how much vertical clearance inside the tin I had...

Getting the 3D shape right
Log from 2nd Generation Moto X Qi Charging Case
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...

Aussie Sawppy - Coupla 3D printing tips
Log from Aussie Sawppy
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...

Talking with the 3D printer
Log from ESP Swiss Knife
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...
