Micro Engines and Tools Made From Scratch
Nick Normal

 

Primarily working with miniatures, but also exploring solar, steam, and thermoelectricity, I stumbled upon the YouTube channel of Greek maker JohnnyQ90 and felt compelled to share his projects with you.

His engine projects are fascinating for their diminutive size while mostly functioning as desired. His channel description says everything is “made from scratch”…”and a lot of patience!” No doubt. Some of his engines aren’t much bigger than a large coin:

Taiwanese engineer working on the world's biggest CMYKW 3D printer

Alec

Anyone who's ever bought or built a 3D FDM printer, will know that there are currently dozens of models on the market. But despite all the available options you have to consider – complicated or user-friendly, heated or regular printbed, SD-card or Wi-Fi and so on – most of them are fundamentally about heated filament, a single extruder and a limited print size. Various options and printers can result in higher-quality results, in shorter print times or in more convenience, but the fundamentals are largely similar.

And while that might be just fine for most of us, there are always some people looking for a bit more. People like the mechanical engineer James Chang, from Taiwan. Chang had an itch that regular 3D printers couldn't scratch, so he's been working a truly unique and inspiring project for the past few months: the Super 3D Printer.

PieceMaker Factory: A Glimpse Into The Future of Toys?

Marc de Vinck

 

Late Friday night I saw what may be the future of toys, or at least something completely unique at my local Toys’R’Us. Additive manufacturing, often referred as 3D printing, has become common place in the maker movement. However, there is hardly a day that goes by where I don’t meet someone who has no idea what it is, or what it does. Well that’s about to change thanks to PieceMaker and Toys’R’Us.

Electrónica Fácil! E Impressoras SLS mais baratas, Um E-Book da Sculpteo, e Coragem a sério!

LED flasher 2: Hats off to Mr Kurt and LTspice

Mr Kurt, wise commenter of this parish, drew my attention to LTspice.

What a revelation

LTspice is a free version of spice from Linear Technology, and it is delightfully easy to use, intuative, and seems to work rather well.

Note, there is a flasher version 3

Current through component and voltages on nodes can be displayed with a single click on the schematic.

Having messed for ages with my little flasher circuit on the bench, running it through LTspice has helped me think through its limitations and confirm some suspicions I had.

Good thing 1: It oscillated in spice – once I had messed with some values a little.

This is the basic idea of the circuit

My cunning idea (now proved to be not-so-cunning) was to have constant current supply to a capacitor and load it with an oscillator whose load is an LED.

The oscillator senses the capacitor and turns the led on when the supply voltage reaches a high threshold, then off when it drops below a lower threshold.

Providing the LED current is greater than the supply current, it should flash along happily and regulate the capacitor voltage.

SLS 3D Printing Machines Are Getting Affordable

Even the expensive and most wanted SLS machine are getting affordable. Addictive manufacturing is getting more popular among scientist and engineers, who is not buying a 3d printer for research instead making a 3d printer with some unique features that no other current market does.

In no quick time we are hearing some good news about SLS machine which are hitting the market with bang, Ester 3d printer has launched their product in indiegogo at the rate $2500 which comes as unassembled. For those who doesn’t know about SLS machine cost won’t be surprised since the price usually around beyond $200,000, Brandon Fosdick is the genius behind this invention of Ester 3d printer and provides all these parts, hardware, software so that people can upgrade, modify this machine into a better one. This machine doesn’t support material as they accept the powder kind of material to get print.

3D Printing / Traditional manufacturing: Guide to cost efficiency

In this guide, you will find a comparative study between 3D Printing and Plastic Injection Molding. In order to download it for free, all you need to do is fill the above fields.

In comparison with traditional production techniques, especially plastic molding, the advantages of 3D Printing go far beyond Rapid Prototyping or object customization.

Sculpteo’s online 3D Printing services allow professionals and consumers to produce short series in an economically competitive manner.

We conducted a study on cost efficiency through short series manufacturing with the hope to prove 3D printing’s competitive edge. The study’s goal: determine when it’s more cost effective to use 3D Printing (through SLS processes) as opposed to Plastic injection for your production.

Our study first takes into consideration qualitative aspects such as elasticity, resistance and finishes before switching to more quantitative research.

Playful Prosthetic Arm

CobyUnger

I met nine-year-old Aidan Robinson at a summer camp he attended called Superhero Cyborgs. This camp, run by KIDmob, is a place where kids with a variety of limb differences design their own prosthetic and orthotic devices. Each kid's design was impressive, but Aidan's playful ideas really resonated with me. To me, Aidan's ideas were a model for how prosthetic devices could and should be more appropriate, useful, and fun than those typically used for both children and adults.The typical prosthetic arm has a robotic hand or a hook that does not adapt well to a variety uses.

Aidan was born without a left arm below the elbow and has had many different types of prosthetics, all leaving him feeling almost better off without them. Despite these hurdles, and like the resilient and creative kid he is, Aidan adapted extremely well to life with a limb difference and is more active than most kids his age. Because the prosthetic is a part of him, we both felt that he needed a device that accurately reflected his personality and interests.

At Last! A Metal 3D Printer for Under $4,000

Geoffrey Craig

There is a perception out there that the 3D Printing Industry is about plastic trinkets, being pumped out of Makerbot machines, but there is an ever-growing list of industrial applications for this technology. Metal 3D printers have had a surge in popularity in recent times, owing their ability to craft complex components for the medical, aerospace and automotive industries. Until now these metal 3D printers haven’t been cheap. With price tags upwards of $100,000, small businesses would have a hard time leasing them, let alone buying them.

Earlier this year, San Francisco based startup MatterFab introduced their version of a cost efficient metal 3D printer, which they hope to start building and shipping to partners earlier next year. Although the exact price of their metal 3D printer wasn’t revealed, they claim it would cost a fraction of the cost of previous metal 3D printers.

Este jogo de Construcção é especial, porque compram as peças, dum Estojo-Base, como tantos outros, mas podem aumentar o número de peças, na vossa Impressora 3D.

Para além disso, vem num tamanho que permite fazer coisas de jeito...

E ainda vem com uma app que permite à míudagem, e aos Pais que estão lá a ensinar brincar também, criar e visualizar Projectos antes de os construír, para testar a idéia!

3D Printed Paper Airplane Launching Gun

Cabe Atwell

What’s cooler than a paintball gun? How about a gun that fires the most lethal of all 21st Century weapons- paper airplanes. That’s right folks, feast your eyes on the paper airplane gun!

One tinkerer is very serious about his paper airplane game. So serious, in fact, that he developed a gun that actually takes standard 8.5 x 11 in computer paper and folks it into quality paper airplanes that soar through the air, neutralizing every enemy within two feet.

How To Recycle HDPE Plastic The Easy Way

kludge77

After spending 2 hours cutting up a single milk bottle with kitchen shears, I knew I couldn't do it again.
I felt like a late night infomercial and may have actually uttered the phrase, "There has to be a better way!"
Turning old milk jugs and bottle caps into useable stock for making. In this short video I process a 2 milk bottles and about half a dozen bottle tops into a 1 1/2" x 3" x 5" turning block.

You could just as easily press this into sheet material for use in box inlays or scroll saw art. The possibilities are endless. The total processing time was under an hour from bottle to blank! Less than waiting for a glue up!
The result is a stunningly colorful blank ready for some new project!

Livros sobre Propriedade Industrial, quantos mais melhor...

O nosso amigo Aniceto Pires vem-nos convidar para o lançamento do seu Livro, "A Vacina Mecânica", um livro que reflete a sua experiência pessoal, de luta pelos Direitos dum Inventor, e quem puder, compareça ao Palácio dos Aciprestes, dia 22 deste Mês:

A Vacina Mecânica

Composto por um conjunto de desenhos, que ilustra, do que se trata como objecto da Patente de Invenção, que durante a ausência deste equipamento, trabalhadores, foram vítimas de acidentes, que deixaram marcas, alguns deles fatais, ao qual atribui o nome do Invento; “Pórtico Alberto”. Abertura e fecho automático das portas dos contentores de acondicionamento de gás embalado.

Lunch Box Computer with Raspberry Pi

agent036

This is a quick and easy project to build a portable Raspberry Pi computer that fits right in a lunch box. It's a good first Pi project since it requires no coding, soldering or tooling of any kind. All you have to do it acquire the parts, plug everything in and secure it in the lunch box.
The Raspberry Pi isn't a very fast machine, but it IS extremely versatile and easy to use. This rig will have all the functionality of a wifi netbook, if a slow one with a very small screen.

There are lots of ways to do a project like this so feel free to deviate from my plans. All of the parts are modular and you can change its abilities a bit by using different parts.
EDIT: While I used a Raspberry Pi model B in this instructable, I would advise folks to use the Model B+, it uses less power than the Model B which sometimes can't run both the Wifi and Bluetooth dongles.

Megabots: Paintball with giant robots

David Szondy

Who hasn't looked at a sporting event and thought that it would be better if it involved giant robots wailing on each other? That seems to be the thinking of the people behind the MegaBots Kickstarter campaign, who are raising money to build giant humanoid robots with human drivers to take on each other in paintball arena games.

A MegaBot is the sort of robot that stands out in a crowd. Run by a driver-and-gunner team, the 15-ft (4.5-m) tall walking robot weighs 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) and has modular arms tipped with pneumatic guns firing 3-lb (1.3-kg) paint MegaBalls at 120 mph (193 km/h). According to the makers, it’s clad in customizable breakaway armor plating that flies off when it takes a hit while, like a videogame, a computer keeps track of "damage" and makes the robot eject limbs, limp, make noise, and jam its weapons as the hits mount.

Raspberry Pi Model A+ Revealed: Smaller and Just $20

Matt Richardson

This morning, the Raspberry Pi Foundation took the wraps off of their newest creation, the Raspberry Pi Model A+. Just as the original Model A was a stripped-down version of the Model B, the new A+ inherits the many improvements from the Model B+, but in a smaller size and with fewer features. Available for purchase starting today and pegged at a mere $20, the Model A+ is now cheapest Raspberry Pi that you can buy.
