New plugs
Log from Hector 9000
In the past we mentioned that about 20% of our printed bottleplugs were not completely tight for gas and liquids. Because we could not fix the problem (in short time) with slight modifications in the design files or adjusting the printing parameters,...

[maniacal laughter]
Log from The Metabolizer
We got the MPCNC moving AND pushing plastic last night, a milestone I've been working towards for nearly a year! It would be generous to say that we successfully 3D printed anything last night, but this is a major step forwards towards that goal. In...

Housing and Assembly
Log from Linear Calendar Clock
Now that all the physical components are available it is time to finish the housing and assemble the full clock. First I will talk about the housing design, and the process of getting it printed. After that I will show the final product when it is all...

Redesigned Medical Grade Mouthpiece Assembly
Log from LipSync
One of the disadvantages to fused deposition 3D printing is the porosity within the print. During printing, tiny air pockets are interspersed throughout the object. Once bacteria gets into these crevices, it's almost impossible to sterilize. Even food...

Heads or Tails?
Log from Quadruped robot with 22 DoF
The tail has been built! The CAD model went through a couple of iterations before deciding on the final form: from 8 polygonal sections to six smoother and smaller sections. When 3D printing, the base section went through a re-design, since the original...

Twisted Prism Lamp, Part 1
Log from Barb Makes Things
CRASH Space's art show is coming up soon, and this is the process behind my submission. It's going to be a set of lanterns that hang in the hall with neopixels and motion sensors. The walls of these are 3d printed in PLA with a pattern that makes them...

Mounting robot's head
Log from Robô da Alegria ("Joy Robot")
The head of the robot was divided in eigth 3d printed parts, all of them printed in PLA with 0,2mm resolution, 10% infill and no supports. It took almos 15 hours for printing the 130 mm in diameter structure.The top and bottom of the head were divided...

Danny's Base_Fixed.stl
Log from Building the Thor robot
The Thor project is too big for my 3D printer so my Thor variant is a mixture of the original Thor project and Danny's modifications. For the base I have choose to use Base_Fixed.stl from Danny.As you can see it juussst fits on my Prusa 3D printer.This...

Part 3: Body Built & Servo Problems
Log from 3D Printed BB8 Quadcopter
So after 10 days of 24/7 3D printing 53 different parts on my Lulzbot Mini I have solvent welded together BB8s upper frame.The frame is rock solid. Standing on the outer shell it supports my weight no problem. It its probably a lot stronger and heavier...

V3.3 Finger Design
Log from ARX Hand Project X1
V3.3 builds on top of the initial design for V3 finger design. The aesthetic design remains the same, but many optimizations have been made to the design to improve overall printabilty and assembly. Subtle features have been added within the model...

[T] Pogo Pinout
Log from SecSavr Sublime [gd0036]
I've been thinking about the specific pogo connector pinout to see if I can find a solution that won't damage components if the wrong tool was installed. With an 8 channel relay, each Slime will have: 24V or Mot1*Toggled GND or Mot1*GND or CAN1Thermistor...

Hack Chat Transcript, Part 1
Log from Design for 3D Printing Hack Chat
Dan Maloney12:00 PMOK folks, let's get going! Welcome back to the Hack Chat, sorry for the long absence. I'm Dan, I'll be moderating today along with Dusan as we welcome Eric Utley to talk about design for 3D printing. I saw Eric on much earlier today;...

versatile new jaw design
Log from Stickvise - low profile soldering vise
This is probably the most versatile jaw design I have come up with so far. There is more than meets the eye in this shot.... scroll down to see how this works!The jaws are made up of a row of alternating fingers:The fingers are interlocking so the jaws...

Building the backing
Log from The Clock Awakens
I spent the past two days at the fab lab designing the clock backing, and I've learned a lot so far. My intention was to build a 12.53" outer diameter ring (1m in circumference) in 4 parts using the CNC machine, then laser cut a 13" diameter circle out...

Digging a Hole in the Carpet
Log from Little Friend
Mato, with her 9000 farads of capacitance, (translation, add about 3 pounds of weight) was leaving a trail in the carpet with her small caster wheel. Something had to be done, so I enlarged the caster base (not the bolt to frame pattern) and enlarged...
