Making Tote without a PCB
Log from Tote
Seeing how most of robots based on or inspired by Tote don't actually use the original printed circuit board, I conclude that ordering one is the main pain point. I don't really see why, because it's not very expensive and the waiting time is about the...

Soldering station safety - heat gun anti-melting safeguards
Log from Tool hacks
Some time ago, I found an article about modding soldering stations for safety (in Russian) (Google Translate). The problem is hot air guns suddenly melting and setting themselves on fire, supposedly, because TRIACs that control them fail. ...

The Frankenroubo woodwork oak bench
Details from The Frankenroubo woodwork oak bench
The design is directly inspired by the very detailed build of the Roubo (a French woodworker that published in the 1770 years an encyclopedia about woodwork : http://roubo.art/planches/tablePl_p1.htm) bench found when looking at how to use that...

Z axis parts & assembly notes
Log from Minamil 3dp: another minimal CNC mill
I've just uploaded STLs for the Z axis to the files section. This Z axis works. It's also pretty crude. Unlike the X+Y stage which I've worked through several revisions, I've sliced and printed exactly one set of Z parts[a} and they've worked well enough...

ProtoCycler
Details from ProtoCycler
ProtoCycler was started to solve the problem of 3D printing being unsustainable. Between the cost of new filament and the waste generated, we weren't able to fully exploit it's potential! We're firm believers that 3D printing can change the world - but...

Getting There
Log from NP1: The Homebrewed, Linux Based Tablet
An update on this project is long overdue, but the good news is that there's not really a lot left to do! Everything is wired up and running fine on the hardware side of things, with the only two chores left to figure out are getting the capacitive touch...

Proto Board cut down to Size
Log from Washing Machine IoT
I almost forgot to post my work from last night. Received my veroboard from Pixel Print Ltd. Printed out my design on paper and cut it down to the shape. Used that to verify size and fit on the washing machine LED's. Looks like everything is good and...

Log from Utilizing CNC to Engrave Jewelry
Project Followers,Thank you for following our project thus far! As we continue to work on creating the best product possible we modify the 3-D jigs as necessary. We have reprinted jigs when necessary due normal wear and tear. As pictured below these...

What are You Sinking About?
Log from PewPew Standalone
Today is the PCB day. A purple envelope arrived, filled with goods. But before I assemble and test the prototype #8 of the device, with all row and column pins capable of PWN, I want to finish an experiment that I described in the first log here. The...

Add Some Fluff
Log from Wee Bug
I intentionally make my robots minimal in terms of additional aesthetics, to make them easier to make and customize for others. But sometimes you just want to have some fun, so when I saw this bunny-shaped ipods case, I knew what I need to do:It's just...

Camera Test Harness
Log from Occifer Bob Watcher
The camera test harness is built - just need to attach the camera to the base unit, adjust to centre it and then I should be in shape to start acquiring images. This project has highlighted a need for a drill press, table saw, and a t-square....

BMS ECU boards arrived
Log from DIY Electric Vehicle from Recycled Parts
Got my boards from Seeed Studio. They apparently had an issue with my drill file and replaced the slots with pads. That's the OPPOSITE of what I wanted for HV creepage distance. A dremel makes it so that I can at least use the board as a prototype. Assembly...

[under construction]
Log from Thiiiiiiiing
A new Thiiiiiiiing is being made. Stay tuned...This Thiiiiiiiing is based on a motor and a Li-ion cell I bought in RC hobby store. The motor spins at 39kRPM (650 Hz), which is faster than regular Dremel's max of 30kRPM. It also has quite a bit of power....

Starting to look like a rocket!
Log from 3DPMRS - 3D Printed Modular Rocket System
Print came out clean enough. I'm not overjoyed with how clean the slits in the body are (cut them with a dremel), but they're clean enough and they work. I drilled four 1/8" holes and installed rivets to lock the body to the motor mount/fin assembly....
