Museu da Música Mecânica! E o FlashForge Inventor, uma DLP acessível, uma Dremmel de fazer em casa, e um Motor impresso em 3D!

Museu da Música Mecânica?
Eis algo de imperdível, para os lados de Palmela, uma Colecção de Caixas de Música, que só visto, obra do nosso amigo, o Prof. Luís Cangueiro, e só para terem uma idéia, visitem, para já esta Página, cheia de sons maravilhosos, de máquinas incríveis:

Mechanical Music Museum?
Something not to miss, near Palmela, Portugal, a Music Box Collection, you have to see, the work of our friend Prof. Luís Cangueiro, and just to give you a hint of the fun in that Box, here's ta page of the Bilingual Site, English version, too, hear the wonderful sound of some Glorious Gizmos:




A Colecção 
É constituída por mais de 600 peças que se movimentam por sistemas exclusivamente mecânicos, e abrangem fundamentalmente o período de finais do Séc. XIX até à década de 30 do Séc. XX, todas em estado de funcionamento. Trata-se de uma coleção particular, reunida ao longo de uma vida e representativa de toda a música mecânica. As diversas tipologias distribuem-se pelos mais variados instrumentos, desde as mais antigas caixas de música de cilindro de madeira ou de metal às mais recentes e populares grafonolas. É um privilégio podermos ver, ouvir e sentir peças centenárias que poderemos interpretar como um sinal da vida do homem através dos tempos, a expressão da sua cultura, a manifestação livre do seu poder criador.

Eis uma Impressora 3D didáctica, com recuperação após paragem, opção de dupla cabeça de extrusão, câmara para visionamento da Impressão e mais uma data de coisas bos:




FlashForge Targets Education With Inventor 3D Printer LineTyler Koslow 
FlashForge has unveiled their latest 3D printer line. It includes the Inventor, a desktop printer geared towards educational use.
Like many other Chinese 3D printer manufacturers, FlashForge has thrived by balancing its efforts between affordability and performance. At the recently held Inside 3D Printing New York conference, the company was on the scene with their latest product line.
The new Inventor series is comprised of two different desktop 3D printers, both of which seem exceptionally intuitive. The Inventor is engineered for the educational sector, while the “II” 
model is said to operate with the intuitiveness of a smartphone
...
The build volume of this printer is 230 x 150 x 160 mm, and even includes dual extrusion via a MK9 extruder head. This allows for multi-color prints, as well as use of soluble support structures. It’s compatible with PLA, PVA, ABS, HIPS, and other speciality materials.
This new printer is also equipped with a heated build plate, while offering 0.1 to 0.4 mm layer thickness.

Grande volume, acessível, cerca de 1600 dólares, e já à disposição no fim de Maio, eis um sonho de Impressora DLP, que imprime numa resolução incrível:





D2K Plus - Affordable DLP 3D Printer

Large Build Volume - 2K Resolution - Soonest Delivery in May, 2017 
To continue our success in the campaign "D2K Illuminate 3D Printer" in 2016, now we are glad to launch "D2K Plus 3D Printer" which is designed for those who demand larger size of printing, the build platform is much larger "198 x 120 x 150mm" whereas D2K Illuminate is only 121 x 68 x 130mm.  "D2K Plus" could satisfy most of designers or gadget lovers to accomplish their great ideas.  Not only large print platform but 2K resolution is kept unchanged, this is indispensable device for your development job . 
It's time to upgrade your printer to DLP technology, it brings along with lots of advantages that get rid of daily maintenance and fine-tuning. 
Our considerate design of "D2K Plus", you could be very easy to make further maintenance or proceeding with future upgrade by yourself.  Either electronic module or UV resins you can buy those replacement very easily in your local market or get it from us.

Single Cylinder Air Engine
gzumwalt 
Before starting with this Instructable, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Instructables for featuring Single Cylinder Air Engine. I am indeed honored and humbled, again, many thanks.
Single Cylinder Air Engine runs on compressed air, a vacuum cleaner, a balloon, or even lung power. I've included three adapters in the design to interface with each. Please note the friction test video; your engine needs to pass this test before being successfully operated on balloon power.
The design incorporates two ports, one upper and one lower. When Single Cylinder Air Engine is viewed from the port side, "Wheel Piston.stl" rotates clockwise when pressure is applied to the upper port, and counter clockwise when a vacuum is applied to the upper port. As pressure or vacuum is applied to the upper port, the lower port functions as an exhaust (when pressure is applied) or an intake (when vacuum is applied). The opposite occurs when the lower port is used for pressure or vacuum.

Makerbot acelerada? E uma Multi-ferramenta, o Xilofone Mecânico, filmar a Estratosfera, e um Guia de Impressão 3D

Uma maneira de acelerar as Impressoras Makerbot?
Ora aí está algo de interessante...
Vão ter um modo de Impressão que vos vai facilitar muito a vida, digo eu:






MakerBot says its new print process reduces times and costs by around 30 percent

Brian Heater  
MakerBot’s MinFill arrived quietly last night as a firmware upgrade for existing customers, and the company is already calling it a “big benchmark in speed and widespread adoption of 3D printing.” Many are understandably a bit cautious around such grandiose proclamations from players in this space, particularly when it comes to something as unabashedly unsexy as infill — the support structures inside a model that keep it from collapsing.
At a bare minimum, however, the newly released MinFill setting boasts some potentially impressive numbers. The technology, designed in-house for the company’s Print software, runs an algorithm that determines the minimal amount of material required to create sufficient infill for a model, saving on material and print costs — both major sticking points in the technology’s adoption.
“You can imagine as you print a complex shape, you get a lot of interesting internal geometries that support the shape in the right places,” the company’s VP of Engineering Dave Veisz tells TechCrunch. “The net effect is that it’s going to reduce the amount of filament used and reduce the print time. So, you’re printing less to get your finished product.”
The time and cost savings varies, naturally, from project to project, owing much to different sizes and shapes of objects, but Veisz says the savings to both average out around 30 percent, effectively cutting the amount of material required to print an object by nearly one-third. Really geometrically complex objects, on the other hand, can have savings of upwards of 80 to 90 percent.

Mechanical Xylophoneneilmendoz 
This Instructable will actually show you how to make a mechanical glockenspiel as the keys are metal rather than wood (xylophone is a far better word though featuring very underused letter X). This instrument was a part of The Rock Band, composed of instruments that make music with rocks by throwing them through the air, slapping them and making them vibrate. The project was created at Autodesk's awesome Pier 9 digital fabrication workshop as part of their artist in residence program.
The rock parts of this instrument are the small pebbles that are launched at the keys. However, any small hard object would probably work. The aluminium keys were fabricated using a water jet cutter. If that tool is not available to you, then wooden keys could be used instead provided that the rest of the design is updated to accommodate their design. The xylophone will be controlled by MIDI so it is possible to control it to using most common music composition software, e.g. Logic, Cubase or Ableton.

The Easiest Arduino High Altitude Balloon Data Logger

Spaceshark 
High Altitude balloons are effective tools in conducting experiments and measuring data in the stratosphere. A successful launch can cost less than $200 and give insight and video of how our planet functions.
For hundreds of years, humans believed the Earth to be flat. High altitude weather balloons prove the Earth is in fact round. The idea of high altitude balloons or HABs is to mount a payload on a giant helium balloon. The balloons are then released, flying to heights of 100,000 feet. Once at these altitudes, the balloon pops and uses a parachute to float back to the ground often many miles from where it was first launched. HABs are great vehicles to get footage from the stratosphere, conduct science experiments, and collect data from high elevations.

3D Printer Buyers Guide

Alastair Jennings 
Frustrated with Fused Filament Fabrication? Read our 3D printing troubleshooting guide to the most common 3D printing problems and their solutions.
It’s amazing what your 3D printer can produce. But we’ve all had those infuriating moments when, despite everything, a seemingly simple model just refuses to print successfully.
You’ve checked the model, seen countless others make it without issue, but try as you might it just won’t print. What is it that keeps going wrong?
Here at ALL3DP, we’ve had our fair share of print failures. But the upside to those failures is that we’ve become finely tuned to recognizing and solving many common 3D printing problems.

DIY Carbide Lathe Tools for Cheap

jimustanguitar 
I recently got into wood turning, and I wanted to have a nice set of tools. Most lathe gouges and chisels are high speed steel (HSS), but they require constant sharpening and leave something to be desired. The premium wood turning tools use replaceable carbide inserts that stay sharp considerably longer, but you also pay a premium for them.
Instead of paying around $100 per tool, I set out to make my own. After it's all said and done, I've got $53 dollars invested in two carbide cutting tools, and I've got 6 regular steel chisels and gouges left from the materials that I bought for the project.
Not too shabby - here's how it's done!

3D para a medicina!
Dica de Patrick Shek, da TAKTAK 3D PRINTING CURIOSITIES.
Eis uma Bomba Peristáltica, que se pode imprimir em 3D, para Situações de Catástrofe , e Países e Regiões desfavorecidas...
Louvável.









3D printed Peristaltic pumpMarco Arduino channel
A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing (though linear peristaltic pumps have been made). A rotor with a number of "rollers", "shoes", "wipers", or "lobes" attached to the external circumference of the rotor compresses the flexible tube. As the rotor turns, the part of the tube under compression is pinched closed (or "occludes") thus forcing the fluid to be pumped to move through the tube. Additionally, as the tube opens to its natural state after the passing of the cam ("restitution" or "resilience") fluid flow is induced to the pump.

Spirograph-Inspired Maker Blasts Kickstarter Goals By 224%, Then 544%

Could a free toy in a package of candy change the trajectory of your life? For Aaron Bleackley, it did. 
It all started one day in early 2013 when one of his coworkers got a tiny geometric drawing toy when purchasing some candy. They passed it around the office and played with it. Never having a Spirograph® set as a kid, Aaron was enthralled.
This kind of drawing toy works using simple gear interaction. Just place a gear in a larger ring and use a pen to rotate the gear around the inside of the ring. The result: A multitude of interesting geometric patterns can be created.
That night, he bought a Spirograph kit. Throughout the next several weeks, he purchased several more geared drawing toys and spent his evenings admiring the beautiful designs that he made with them.
Eventually he became frustrated, however. There was a lack of variety of design options. He wanted more pieces. The plastic from which the pieces were made was fragile and imprecise. And the gears often slipped and hopped out of the rings.
“I scoured the internet for a really good Spirograph but didn’t find anything to satisfy me,” Aaron says. “So I concluded that I would have to make my own.”

Welcome to GetdatGadget
GetdatGadget was founded by Roy Yap, a die-hard geek and lover of all things tech and gadgets. Roy’s love for gadgets led to the creation of this site after spending most of his spare time writing tech product reviews for the past decade.
The main aim of this site is to highlight products that we find fascinating, unique, cool, awesome, drool-inducing, time-saving, space-saving, money-saving, state-of-the-art, bleeding-edge-technology, quirky, whimsical or just plain jaw-dropping.
Through this site we hope to share our love for gadgets with you, our fellow gadget connoisseurs.
Most of all, we hope that you enjoy reading about the products we feature as much as we enjoy writing about them.
We only add new products as and when we find them and are deemed worthy to join GetdatGadget’s hall of fame. After a decade of reviewing tech gadgets, it does take quite a bit to impress us, trust us. Therefore, we do not target a fix number of postings per day and neither do we post on a daily basis. It also means that on good days, we may post close to a dozen posts per day.

Raspi Compute 3! E Colunas Bluetooth em Cabono? Mais Qr Code com o vosso Logo, converter 3D, e cortar com discos... De PAPEL!

A Família Raspberry Py conta agora com este Compute 3, duas vezes o RAM, e quase 10 vezes o desempenho de CPU do Module original!




COMPUTE MODULE 3 LAUNCH!James Adams 
Way back in April of 2014 we launched the original Compute Module (CM1), which was based around the BCM2835 processor of the original Raspberry Pi. CM1 was a great success and we’ve seen a lot of uptake from various markets, particularly in IoT and home and factory automation. Not to be outdone by its bigger Raspberry Pi brother, the Compute Module is also destined for space! 
Since releasing the original Compute Module, we’ve launched 2 further generations of much faster Raspberry Pi boards, so today we bring you the shiny new Compute Module 3 (CM3); this is based on the Raspberry Pi 3 hardware, providing twice the RAM and roughly 10x the CPU performance of the original Module. We’ve been talking about the Compute Module 3 since the launch of the Raspberry Pi 3, and we’re already excited to see NEC displays, an early adopter, launching their CM3-enabled display solution.
