  • User tests!

  • To avoid compromising the safety of anyone external to the project, I performed the tests myself using a splint. The splint was made out of aluminum extrusion and 3D printed PLA+, using the same nylon stars as the data capturing device. This enabled...
  • Filament cost

  • This page is devoted to explain the price of 1kg recycled PET bottle filament We will study the worst case : 1 small bottle producing only 5 to 6 m of filament. This is the blue one of my video ! To get these 5m we have a sequence divided into two steps...
  • Project Showcase

  • As far as I remember, I never really did a project showcase. However, there are already some pretty awesome projects out there, so I figured you'd be very interested! ;) This one's two beautiful portable devices built by user dc1rdb, one larger unit...
  • Breadboard Development Complete

  • The win for this week was completing the breadboard development and getting towards a proof-of-concept prototype. Several new mechanical, electrical, and software features came together to make this work.Mechanical. I redesigned the enclosure to...
  • First Field Test

  • The first field test of the OpenDendrometer breadboard development unit went beautifully. It appears that the device hardware and software operated as intended over the ten hour period.  The dendrometer displacement and battery voltage data collected...
