After making the bottle-shaped iteration, I realized that it was possibly the ugliest sculpture on the planet. I decided that the more human-looking iteration was a much better direction, and I began to expand upon that one. The human looking iteration...
The third step is to start with the exterior of the book. I wanted to include some 3D printed Halloween effects such as a spider, skull, bone, etc.. So, I 3D printed those items. This is custom. You can add anything you want. Once printed,...
My build started in Fusion 360. First modeling everything that needed to fit within the back and arranged them somewhat to fit tightly. I left room for a raspberry pi, which I did not model because I measured the space between the components and found...
From Blender ..As soon as this idea popped up in my head , i had to immediately materialize it somewhere. It happens that i've been occasionally using blender for more than 10 year now and i'm familiar with a lot of its shortcut to model objects::With...
Thursday, 06/07/2023, 12:40.(I wrote this project log before copy-pasting it here) Anyway, back to DIY electric motors: I can't simply use two 10:1 reduction ratios (which would give 100:1 in total) simply because if I want to reach 30 rpm with...
THE CREATIVE PROCESS I first got inspired by the old wood base that I got laying around at my workplace. I could easily see how I could make some kind of humanoid that would be attached to it. I began by choosing the component for the eye , I first...
Prepare to install the screen and to bolt the "spine" to it. Display button pistons should also be ready for this phase. You can temporarily affix the display with 1/4 tripod bolt so it won't fall off in further steps. Just don't bolt it in too tightly,...
Friday, 13:25, 02/12/2022 - Yes, "02/12", it took my two days to finish this Project Log since I had to rewrite it time and time again.At first I thought this was a waste of time, but after doing this, I feel like I have a better idea...
Monday 22:25, 28/11/2022 - I'm procrastinating One thing that I forgot to talk about on the previous project logs is that the structure where the entire machine sustains itself is as important as the controls, the energy source and the actuators. And...
There were couple points in time when I was in need of: a purpose for a SBC i've had laying around;a platform to experiment with general purpose embedded system that ran Linux;a case to dip my toes into elaborate electronic box design in CAD of choice...
After four months of continual silence from life getting ahead of me, I have had a chance to sit down and truly figure out what the platform will be based on (who got knocked out by me being in the quarter finals even though I resigned?). I had my original...
