Micro 105 FPV Quadcopter - 3D Printed punkkills 

I've been flying 250 sized FPV (first person video) quadcopters for just over a year now. For those who aren't familiar with FPV, you outfit a camera to the front of your quadcopter and transmit the video to a pair or goggles or a monitor. You then get to pilot the quadcopter from the perspective of the aircraft. It is so much fun and lets you fly in ways that would be impossible line of site.

I wanted to build a micro FPV quadcopter that I could fly around my house and in areas where my larger copters are too big. I have a 3D printer so I was hoping that I could find a 3D printed frame that I could use. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any 3D printed frames that were exactly what I wanted. I decided to design my own! My goals were to keep it crash resistant, light weight and offer good protection for onboard gear.
I'm going to walk you through the steps to building your very own micro FPV quadcopter. You will have a blast flying it and will have the pride of having built it yourself!

10 Breadboard Projects For Beginners

Saiyam 

Breadboard is a great way to construct electronic projects easily and in less time without the need of soldering. A problem that is faced by beginners in the field of electronics is that they cannot solder the components neatly on printed circuit boards. One bad solder joint can lead to the project not working. When the project does not work, they eventually loose their confidence and cease to continue making projects. Before attempting another project, they have to think twice. Another problem faced by them is that if they try to solder and make a project, it does not work because of poor soldering or the circuit that was taken from a book or magazine lacked instructions or it was wrong. Now after spending a lot of time on making it, what they have to face is dissapointment.

This instructable gives a walkthrough of ten projects that can be made easily on a standard size breadboard thus solving the problem of hobbyists. Each projects is followed by a schematic, a breadboard layout, complete description with instructions, parts list and the difficulty level. The difficulty level increases as you make each project. Before making the projects a description of breadboard as well as electronic components is given which gives a complete understanding to beginners. All the projects are tested before they were added and all of them work.

Com Motores, Sensores, e Bluetooth, e compatível com o Lego, esta nova ideia ajuda-vos a ter ideias, e a pô-las em prática.

What is Brixo? 

BRIXO's electric bricks are normal sized building blocks that are anything but normal. It's like Lego® on steroids, if steroids also gave you superpowers and taught you new languages. 

Basically, they're bricks that safely conduct electricity and connect to your phone to enable you to do all sorts of cool things with your designs.  And no, you don't need to buy a whole new set, because they're used interchangeably with your favourite building blocks to add an element of interactive awesomeness. 

BRIXO bricks include LED lights, motor blocks and even sound, light and proximity sensors. They’re powered by a low voltage Bluetooth controlled built-in battery brick and coated in chrome, a non-toxic metal, to ensure your safety.

No Borax Or Starch Flubber/slime/putty

Igioteno 

I've been looking for a no starch or borax flubber for a long time

Some recipes had tide, cornstarch, lotion, clear glue and other ridiculous ingredients

Today, I found a recipe on YouTube on flubber and sounded very believable

I tried it out and a total fail

I then viewed the videos comments and one said just use glue, eye drops and baking soda

I tried it out with using the same ingredients in the video and the same ingredients the comment suggested it turned out great

But it smelled horribly like bleach and it was very wet

It was also very airy and not that stretchy 

So I just used the recipe the comment suggested

How to Extract a Cell Phone Motor's Flywheel

Edgar 

There's an endless source of Micro-motors, in old, discarded Cell Phones.

Trouble is, they come with those pesky, off-balanced Flywheels, that mess up everything, as no one wants wobbly motors that can't be connected to the gearwheels, pulleys, and what not, you want to use these motors with.

Yes, and Quadracopter's Propellers, too! :)

Well, now there IS a way to take them off, without ruining the motor, using 2 Meccano plates, bolted togheter, a Hammer, a piece of Wood and a discarded Compass, easy-peasy!

Flight-case Toolbox and Workstation

Robb

My toolbox is an expression of my making practice. It has developed over the past 5 years as my needs and abilities have changed as a fabricator and artist. Some of the tools are specific to the kind of work I generally do, which is usually a blend of mechanical and electronic. It includes LEDs, a electrical system with a power tool charger, benchtop power supply, and soldering iron. It has a mirror and an anvil. It is heavy and I love it. I hope you do too.

Raspberry Pi CNC Machine

may_colin14 

My friend and I thought about building a CNC Machine for a while. But we didn't want it to be just an ordinary CNC Machine. We wanted to make a very unique machine that could have very unique attributes. We set out to make a CNC Machine that could do different types of Machining. For example, routing, laser engraving, 3D printing, drag knife, etc. We took about a few months to design the basics of the machine. For example, what kind of linear motion we would have for each axis, what kind of material we would use for it, what kind of style to make it, etc. We chose our build area to be 24" X 24" X 7". After those few months of finalizing everything, we took our first step into physically making the machine. Note: This is made for the average consumer, for home use, and for someone who doesn't have the money to invest in a $1000 CNC router or 3D printer.

Agora, 2 das tais "ideias óbvias", mas alguém teve de as ter, primeiro...

Uma maneira de quem tem quintal, apanhar fruta, sem Escadotes, nem chatices!

Um simples Tubo de PVC, e muita cabecinha, e voilá! 

Apanham a Fruta toda. 

E vem com mais 2 ideias práticas, de Bónus: 

BERRY PICKER

Thinkenstein 

This berry picker is made out of PVC pipe. Heat is used to shape the plastic. Two "fingers" at the working end do the picking. The berry then falls through the pipe and lands in a plastic bag tied to the other end.

This berry patch belongs to a neighbor. I plan to grow some at my house on rebar trellises, for easier maintenance and harvesting. See my trellis instructable when you are done with this one: http://www.instructables.com/id/A-REBAR-TRELLIS-for-Home-and-Garden/

Also, for further PVC working inspiration, see my instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/PVC-Its-Great-for-Inventions/ 

http://www.instructables.com/id/BERRY-PICKER/

 

A segunda ideia genial, a ideia não é minha, para pregar pregos sem trilhar os dedos.

Mas o Instructable, para fazer isto em casa, em 5 Minutos, e com só um tubo e um ìmane, é mesmo da minha autoria:

 

 

 

 

5 Minute Thumbsaver

Edgar 

As seen on Youtube, here's the Thumbsaver!
Only, a more modest version... Cheaper, too!
This is another no-brainer, that will save you a lot of grief, a nail setter, for nails, of course, 
and other fasteners.
It's just a question of finding some tube, and then in 4 or 5 Steps:

-File
-Plug
-Glue
-Bend
-And cut, (if needed)

Ainda às voltas com a Oficina, uma Máquina de  Jacto de Areia serve para um sem-fim de usos, na casa, e para fazer ou manter peças de Engenhocas de toda a espécie, por isso, cá vai como fazer essa màquina em casa...

E atenção, se são amigos do Ambiente, (ou Sovinas, como eu), este desenho re-utiliza a Areia:

Here we are with another brand new structure by the ‘make it extreme’ team, a Sandblaster.

This structure is capable for multiple uses such as removing the rust from old objects and coatings as well as writing on many different kinds of materials like glass, stone and others.

Our own design of the particular structure aims to recycle the sand in order to be able to use it more than once.

Build your own 3d printer filament factory (Filament Extruder
ianmcmill

Too long, didn't read:
Make your own 3D printer filament !
Cheap and high quality at a decent speed of 150-190 IPM ! (4-5 meters per minute)
UPDATE: Now with wiring diagram !

Long read:
3D printers are cool and they finally start to drop in price. Kickstarter campaigns like the one from QB-UP or M3D are popping up and they are finally "affordable". And with affordable I mean affordable like 200 $ and not "affordable" like 2.199$ affordable. However, once you are a proud owner of a 3D printer you will soon realize that your wallet is far from being let alone. No ! You need plastic filament of course to print those super awesome coat hooks and wheel chocks. Since the price for these filaments tend to top the actual material costs, printing before mentioned life savers is kind of expensive and could become a problem to the development of the ever growing 3D printer community
BUT FEAR NO MORE !! Some clever gents came along - Hugh Lyman with his Lyman Extruder may be mentioned here or the guys over at Filastruder.com - and saved the day ! YAY. And there was much rejoicing ! They have built plastic extruders everyone can build or buy at a decent price. However if you are a fellow Instructable.com user the first thing that should come to your mind is "I can build this by myself...and cheaper...". Building at lower costs is the nature of DIY after all.
And much more fun than putting together a premade kit, of course.

The D-Bot, my self made reprap.

AndreasDesmedt

After I bought my first printer and began printing for friends, I felt I could use a 2nd printer. Instead of just buying a 2nd one, I came up with the idea to build a reprap. I had a printer, so I could print the parts. You could buy the other parts everywhere on the internet, so that wasn't a problem either. I began creating a design that was easy to built, compact, cheap and still accurate. Continue reading to see if I succeeded!

An Easier Kerfmaker

Phil B

Someone showed a group of us a simple kerfmaker he built from scrap. I was reminded of a nice aluminum kerfmaker Instructable posted by Steliart and I thought about building it. This Instructable describes an easier kerfmaker I built from some hardwood. It is not a disposable kerfmaker fitted for only one tool. The precision sliding parts are so easy to make well that it is almost foolproof.

A kerfmaker is initially set by you for the thickness of your cutting tool (saw blade, router bit, bandsaw blade). From that point, it allows you to set the kerfmaker for the thickness of a piece of work so you can make a precise dado for that piece without further measuring.
