LVL 1 has many Cartesian box tools. They are simply different shapes of a tool holder. Each has a mean time between failure based on how comfortable people are to making adjustments. The comfort of adjustment seems to be based on how enclosed it is....
Our TerraPreta Biochar Prototype Reactor is ready to be operated, and our first task after have assembled it is to do a Temperature Behavior to understand how the flows of heat are present in the system and what are the range of temperature we are able...
Just got a few more things to do before I start testing the version 3 build of the automatic 3d printer. I took a lot of pictures in the build process. I will be publishing dimensions for every thing here soon.
I test the closed loop printer http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTUzODI0NDE0OA==.htmlthe printer can back the right position , After I draged the carrier to a wrong positon.And this is the testing example of my 3D printer.And this the open loop one.The...
We now have a new enclosure, thanks to Thileepan (https://hackaday.io/TPN23). The new enclosure looks better and feels better. Shown below is the same enclosure, 3D printed on a Makerbot Replicator 2. There's also a circular cut-out for the temperature...
Quick SketchUp modelling really helps in putting all the pieces into perspective. The frame will be a mix of metal and wood. In the sketch you can see a brushless spindle for reference (replace with your weapon of choice). The spindle mounting wheel...
I want to make BT's eye interesting and true to the comic. I didn't realize it before but BT does have a lot of symmetry with the tubing behind the eye. It's one of the most consistent things about his design. I tried to emulate that as best I could...
