Print the STL files found here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/remote-cat-door-lock No supports should be required, I would suggest 100% infill around mounting holes if your slicer allows this but it is not imperative.
3D printed cover and holders of central axisItems needed:1 - Printed parts // numbers : 3,4,5,6 and 7 (covers and holders of central axis).2 - Rubber Head Hammer.Instructions: (important: must put the lazy susan bearings with covers into the axis before...
I made no particular effort in choosing the parts based on availability and or price as one would normally do in electronics design. The purpose of this exercise is to illustrate how the idea fits in with the traditional electronics product design workflow....
For the assembly of the bearings follow next steps: 3D print bearing's two parts.Remove the support materialPlace a BB ball into the outer part's groove and turn the outer part looking for positions in which the ball gets stuck. Clean those positions...
3d Printed Part DesignDesign in sketch upI knew before I started that I would use some 3d printed parts. You do not need to but a 3d printer but they make creating new things so easy. With this in mind I started thinking about where 3d printed...
[Figure: Removing Y-Axis] [Figure: Salvaging Stepper Motor] Finally, we can start assembling our 3D printer. And by assembling, I mean disassembling. My tutorial assumes you are starting this project with a functional fully assembled FDM 3D printer...
A detailed bill of materials and all of the files you need to make the laser cut and 3D printed parts can be found on the Make-A-Pede plans page. If you do not have access to a laser cutter or 3D printer, we will soon be offering the laser cut and 3D...
Once the middle 3D printed 'skeleton' digits are mounted inside the silicone rubber, thread the spring steel cables through the corresponding holes. Once the cables have been threaded through the 3D printed hand base, the finger/thumb tips can be inserted...
First I had to fit the sensor inside the 3D printed foot parts. They were locked inside this fame, and later attached to the structure using some screws. I used four M2x1.6mm for attaching the display to the 3D printed cover part. Two more bolts were...
I used my 3D printer to make the face but you don't have to. You could just print out something on your printer. But, because I used my 3D printer with a small bed, the face I printed didn't cover the entire clock. This turned out to be OK because...
3D printers use serial to communicate. Slicing software or Ocotprint wants to talk to a COM port. As we are adding WiFi to a printer there is no COM port as such so we will need to configure a few things to get the project working. Install ESP-3D on...
Minor adjustment needed in the Dots 3D design: Initially, I overlooked including holes to connect the dot pieces to servo motors. I have now revised the 3D model for you.However, be aware that these holes are quite small, and there's a possibility that...
For the Z axis I used two sets MGN12H linear rails which I mounted to two of the 2020 profiles. For mounding them you need either the right slide blocks or you can 3D print the slide blocks, to mount them with M3 screws and nuts to the profiles. For...
