Eis o DieselFish, que vos vai safar, a arranjar Cabos, vejam este Instructable, onde ficam a saber como Mrballeng partiu da ideia para a concretização:

Diesel Fish

Mrballeng

Diesel Fish are gear ties for your truck. Anywhere you would use a knot, you can use Diesel Fish. It's designed for rope 1/2" diameter or smaller and also works with flat webbing. It's so simple you can even tie it wearing boxing gloves!

Two years ago I posted Fish Bone Knotless Gear Tie. Since then I've gotten feedback from friends, perfect strangers, and everyone in between. This design is the sum of that feedback along with what I've learned by myself. This is how I got here...

Dica da Make, a Formlabs, a Máquina de estéreo-litografia de topo-de-mesa, e acessível, oferece-vos agora, com um novo Material a possibilidade de fazerem Moldes para Fundição por Investimento, que desaparecem, deixando o Metal que ocupa o espaço desses Moldes, o que equivale a dizer que podem imprimir, indirectamente, em Metal!

Ese Material, e um Flexível, que vai servir para os vossos objectos de outra forma, feitos em borracha:

Formlabs Releases Functional Resins: Flexible and Castable 

 Caleb Kraft

Formlabs, the maker of the Form 1+ SLA 3D printer, announced today that they’re releasing a series of “functional resins”. Before, you only had the option of a few colors, but now you can use a resin that is purpose built to be investment cast, or one that is flexible.

http://makezine.com/2014/10/22/formlabs-releases-functional-resins-flexible-and-castable/

...E para uma versão mais maneirinha do mesmo, eis um Instructable que vos ensina a fazer esta interessante Gigajoga para peças pequenas, em Metal de baixo ponto de fusão:

3D Printing with metals at home! 

madaeon

This is a short tutorial that shows you how you can make metal parts, at home, in less than 1 hour, in a few easy steps.

If you like this instructable you can support me having a look at my IndieGoGo campaign here; you can now get your LumiPocket 3D Printer, a project that I started one year ago as a simple hobbyist, and now has became (hopefully) my full time job.

Safety is important!

Casting metal is serious business, and very dangerous. Even when using proper safety gear, and observing all necessary precautions, serious accidents can still occur. Lack of proper safety gear, unsafe surroundings, or unsafe procedure increase both the likelihood and severity of accidents.

E ainda, podem encomendar várias peças iguais, se quizerem.

É bom!

 

Introducing “Multipart” : simplifying upload for multipart 3D files

To give you the best online personal 3D printing center, we’re always bringing new tools to our online interface. After the Repair Tool, Solidity Check, Cut-Away View, Batch Control for short series, Hollowing to hollow your 3D model, we’re introducing “Multipart” to easily 3D print a file that contains more than just one part. Whether you want to 3D print an object with moving parts or an object that requires the assembly of multiple parts, Multipart let you choose between two options when uploading your 3D file.

Podem fazer a vossa própria Máscara para quando trabalham na oficina ou vão procurar tralha ao Sótão, e esta, dura mais tempo, e não se estraga em 2 horas...

Em Couro, vai servir por anos, e faz-se em casa:

Functional Leather Respirator

Noodleworks

Being a creative, hands-on person, you've probably worn a disposable dust mask many times during your projects. You've also undoubtedly noticed their limitations: They're uncomfortable, they get clogged fast, they become filthy as soon as you touch them, and they have the resiliency of a paper towel. There are nicer, re-usable masks out there, but they tend to be expensive, cumbersome, and plastic. Plastic is...not my cup of tea.

When I started this project, I just wanted something that would hold a disposable dust mask, making it less fragile and fit better. This was a utilitarian project, pure and simple. I think this is one of the reasons why I like the finished look of it so much.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Functional-Leather-Respirator/

Vão sempre precisar, alguma vez, de usar um, por isso, podem já aprender como o fazer, eis um pequeno Regulador de Voltagem:

Mini Adjustable Voltage Regulator

MagicTK

The goal was to make a variable power supply and make it as compact as possible. This is what I made. I know there are many other voltage regulator projects out there, but I wanted to make mine to suit my needs. This instructable assumes you know how to solder and basic knowledge of how to align circuit components in a tight configuration. Let me know if you have questions, or try www.google.com for help also.
The items listed below are what I used, or something similar. It isn't necessary to use exactly the same components that I have used, but I am giving you a few links that might help. I also didn't use the capacitors like shown, because I only use it to power things temporarily, and typically don't care if there is some fluctuation.

Uma Entrevista e CNCRoi, Pi-Top, o Laptop Faça-você-Mesmo(!), Gravar por LaserCNC, e Draftsight

Eis a Entrevista que me foi feita pelo nosso amigo Jon Cantin, para o seu Blogue, depois do lançamento dos Planos para a Espingarda Nerf.

Já agora, mostro-a, em parte, aqui:

Edgar Castelo: Fabbing Plans Publisher (Portugal)

Edgar has been inventing and publishing his work (and that of others) on his blog, in addition to producing awesome laser cut guns which I sell the plans to on CNCKing.com.

You can read his blog at http://faz-voce-mesmo.blogspot.ca/

How did you get into designing and what are some of your more notable projects you’ve received recognition for? Are you self-taught or did you go to school to learn what you know?

I’ve got into designing because I was good at drawing, and making stuff. I’ve wona series of Medals for various Inventions, at geneva, Brussels and Nuremberg, lots of Bronze 2 Silver and one Gold Medal, that one for my Triosk.

How do you go about distilling a new design from the start all the way to final production and working prototype? What approaches work best for you and what tools do you use to accomplish this?

I imagine stuff up, in my mind, then go and draw it, on a piece of A4 paper, then I build a Prototipe of the workings of it.

When I’m satisfied, I turn into Inkscape, for 2D laser cut plate projects, or Wings3D, that I clean up with NetFabb, for 3D work.

You wrote a book a while back featuring projects across a variety of skill levels and interests – how do people get a copy and do you plan on formally publishing it one day?

They can still get it trough, an E-book, but Paper books Editions depend on the sales of this one.

Shapeoko 2, Arduino UNO R3, grbl 9g, 8bit Laser Diode Photo Engraving  

PicengraverToo

  Me and my son invented/developed a new concept of "On-The Fly" 8bit Laser Diode engraving photos over two years ago. We have came a long way since those days at the beginning of our experimentation and here is the instructions of our latest build on a Shapeoko 2.
Photos can be engraved on different materials using a variable intensity controlled Laser Diode to get 8bit shading. The materials we have tested successfully so far is, wood, white stained wood, white painted aluminum, mirrors, white leather and white Artist Canvas. White materials gives us the best 8bit shading of grays and on mirrors we actually get shades between white and silver or the reflection. The mirror also gives us a lithophane effect with some back lighting, but looks very good without back lighting too.
The standard laser photo engraving process prior to our development was to TTL modulate (Pulse) the material with burnt spots/dots using a dithered black & white image to get the allusion of gray shades.

About useful modifications of the Delta 3D printer

I really like the Delta 3D printer.

This 3d printer is not similar to any of the existing 3d printers.

It has an amazing design, not the usual technical solution and high speed printing.

Sometimes people ask me about what parts are best to use for 3D Delta printer? And how to improve print quality?

In this article I will explain that it is better to use when creating the Delta 3D printer.

Basic Joule Thief Flashlight

l33tn00b

Hello welcome to my second instructable!!! Today I'm going to show you how to build a very simple joule thief flashlight. If you haven't seen my other instructable, check it out for an easier way to power this than I'm going to show you! I know this has been posted/done before, but I just figured I would post with my own twist added.

My goal here is to build this joule thief with all salvaged parts(except the LED maybe), and have it power my high power white led with a battery most people would think were dead. I will explain where I get the parts and how to build this simple but amazing gadget.

A joule thief is a self-oscillating voltage booster that is small, low-cost, and easy to build. It can use nearly all of the energy in a single-cell battery, way far below the voltage where other circuits consider the battery fully discharged (or "dead"). It was named a "Joule Thief" because the circuit is stealing energy or "joules" from the source. I think it's a very clever name.

2 Fresas CNC e uma Ferramenta.

Eis uma Fresa CNC que podem fazer com a vossa Impressora 3D!

Assim, ficam com 2 CNCs pelo preço de uma!

3D printed CNC mill

liquidhandwash

Ive designed this mill so that most of the parts that are hard to get or make can be 3D printed. Its design to be modular so you can easily change the size of the machine by changing either the sides or the front and back plates. Its accurate enough to cut and drill circuit boards, and small enough to fit in the boot of your car.

I used an UP printer using ABS plastic, and there is a common problem with most printers is that they print holes around 1-2% undersize, so the the holes for the bearings, bolts and nut has been drawn little oversize to compensate. I cant predict how they will fit with other types of printers or materials.

The sides and back are made with 2 layers of 3mm acrylic which can be laser cut if you have access to a laser cutter. Alternatively you could print the DXF files full size and cut and drill the material by hand.

http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-printed-CNC-mill/

Já que a Placa Arduino ameaça fazer a sua Impressora 3D, porque não fazer esta outra Fresa CNC, com a tal Placa Arduino? 

É só seguir as Instrucções:

Small Arduino CNC 
Make it BIG

This instructable shows you how to build a cheap and easy, but very small CNC. You can use it to mill thin balsa wood and different foams. Everything you need, can be found in old PC's or can be bought quite cheap (I paid ~30$). It was inspired by the Pocket laser engraver, but i added a third axis and now I am able to mill small 3D objects.

For this project you will need:

• 3 old CD/DVD-Roms
• 1 Computer power supply
• 1 PC fan
• 1 small DC motor
• 3 Easydriver boards (can be bought on ebay ~2$ each)
• 1 Arduino Uno (can be bought on ebay ~14$)
• Screws, spacers, soldering iron, cables (old ribbons from PC's also work), some wood, a breadboard, screw terminals and some other supplies.
