My Space is Too Big
Log from Flounder Keyboard
The PCBs arrived today! They look great:So of course I had to try and insert all the switches and keycaps to see how they fit. The fit is (intentionally) tight, as I made them a bit denser than on a normal keyboard, but they seem to all fit properly:With...

Instructions from haxmark460 - Home PCB Printer
Now, you will have to cut a rectangular slice of plastic from inside the printer. Start from the entrance and go all the way up to the black roller. I used a dremel with a diamond-coated cutting disk. There are a couple sensors in this platform, as well...

Runout reduction revisited
Log from Minamil 2dc: a minimal CNC mill
Poorly controlled runout has haunted this project since first musings about its silly predecessor. Pulling back from an earlier somewhat helpful idea seems to have helped to escape a local maximum. At least for parts that can be finished with a single...

September 17, Starting to really come together
Log from Cubone! (Retropie encased in Gameboy DMG shell)
Okay, so I officially switched to a Pi zero. Lots of reasons but the main one is with the gigantor battery, there isn't enough room for a pi 3. I maybe could de-solder the majority of the parts and fit it that way but for 40 dollars, I'd rather not have...

Log from OpenK9
TL;DR - I built the first version of a leg: I have some goals for the the mechanical design of this open source robot - it doesn't help if you make an open source robot but it requires a $ 500 000 mold! These goals are: Use readily available manufacturing...

During a visit to the ham swap meet at Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach. It's always on the last Saturday of the month, and until now I haven't been in LA on the last Saturday of the month. Because I went to Sparklecon last week, I was also able...

Everything looks like a (plastic) nail ..
Hacker page by Patrick
To a man with a hammer (3d printer) ... everything looks like a (plastic) nail … OK. Whew. Turns out that 3D printing is addictive. Who would have thought? It’s been about a month now since I got my (first, only) Prusa...
