Um Engenhocas vai sempre ter de medir a força dos seus Ímanes e Electro-Ímanes, por isso, saibam como o podem fazer com precisão:

Gizmo Makers will all eventually get to need to measure Magnetic Fields, of their static and electro-mangetic Magnets, so learn how to do that accurately:

Measuring Magnets 

We like to use this blog to answer common magnetic questions in a bit more detail.  Here we can provide a fuller explanation than might be possible in an email or brief conversation.  It’s also nice to share this kind of stuff online so people can find it for themselves while searching!

In this installment, we’re going to focus on questions about measuring the field strength of a magnet.  Perhaps the most common question is:

I’m measuring the Surface Field of a specific magnet with magnetometer, and I’m measuring less than the specified Surface Field.  Why are my readings low?  Is something wrong with the magnet?

Let's dig down into the details and see how these measurements can be useful.  We'll also learn about what their limitations and pitfalls might be.

PaperQuad DIY Quadcopter

YoseiI 

A few months back, my friend, Kevin, came up with the brilliant idea of melding the art of papercraft with his newfound interest in quadcopters. Naturally, being an engineer myself, I quickly fell into the rabbit-hole that is the multirotor hobby and together we began developing paper frames for our small micro-scale quads.

The basic idea went something like this: After flying the factory-built quads for a while, we began to get curious about altering the configuration -- what would longer arms do? What if we flipped some motors upside down and ran them backwards? What if we made a long and narrow quad? Short and wide? We figured that folding up some paper and gluing it together would be a great way to test these different configurations quickly and cheaply.

After some tinkering, we thought that this could actually become a great activity for kids of all ages (including distinctly adult-looking ones) -- it's inexpensive, offers endless possibilities for customization, and is incredibly fun! What's more, if the quadcopter crashes and breaks, you aren't dead in the water -- just recycle the old frame, print out a new one and you're off to the races again.

This Instructable is meant to be a getting-started guide to making paper quads. Feel free to share designs, knowhow, and let's see what comes out of it! Kevin and I have started a website dedicated to this project where we will post more PaperQuad-related content: PaperQuad.com

Make a Custom Bic Brander

JamesH76

In this Instructable I will show you how to 3D print your very own custom Branding Iron that snaps onto a Bic lighter!

You don't need a 3D printer, just an image, an image editing program like Pixlr and Shapeways.com to print your brand in real steel.

Disclaimer:

Yes, this is a branding iron, they get hot! Don't do anything stupid with one of these, like burn yourself or an animal! If you do, please don't blame me! :)

Second Disclaimer:

I am the designer of the branding iron, I 3D modeled the base file that your custom image gets extruded from on Shapeways, as the designer of the brand I get a bit of the profit for the sales on Shapeways ;) Don't hate me, your dollar is like a high five and makes my day more awesome :)

About MakerCase

MakerCase is a web-based application for designing laser-cut project cases.
Makercase runs in a web browser and automatically generates a blueprint for laser cutting based on the users specifications. The user enters the desired case dimensions and material thickness, and MakerCase automatically generates a three-dimensional model of the case that can be freely rotated.
MakerCase lets users create cases with flat edges or interlocking edges using finger joints or t-slots for retaining nuts and bolts.
Users can also add holes and engraved text to individual faces of the case using a graphical drag and drop editor.
When the case design is complete, the MakerCase flattens the three-dimensional model into blueprint and generates an SVG file that can be sent directly to a laser cutter. For cutting, MakerCase can be configured to compensate for the beam width of the laser and convert any engraved text into vector paths.
Makercase was written in 100% javascript, using jquery, three.js, and JCanvas on the client side and node.js on the server. More information on writing digital fabrication applications may be found at my web site

Voltera’s Circuit Printer Launches on Kickstarter, Smashes Goal in Minutes

Mike Senese 

The Voltera V-One circuit printer, one of our favorite finds at CES this year, just launched its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter — and hit $100,000 in 35 minutes.

The Voltera system provides multiple capabilities: It will print the traces for your prototype circuit board (at 8mil space and trace), dispense solder paste to allow you to place SMD components on professionally manufactured boards, and provide heat for reflowing those electronics onto boards. And it prints multiple layers with a transparent ink.

Man 3D prints support-less curved lego blocks; builds Naaldwijk Water Tower

Kira

The of classic cubed shape of a Lego construction is timeless and instantly recognizable, yet it does create some limitations, particularly if the object you are trying to build is known for its smooth curves. Thankfully, curved Lego has arrived thanks to Netherlands-based 3D print designer Jan Jurjen Zwaard.

After attempting to 3D print curved Lego using an existing model designed by Steve Medwin on Thingiverse, Zwaard ran into some complications. “When I printed it, I found out that I wasn’t able to remove the supports very well,” he explained to 3ders.org. “Since I know how to use Solidworks, I was able to create a model myself in such a way that I didn’t need the supports.” After designing a few different sized models, Zwaard was able to successfully print his own modified, interlocking building blocks.

It has always been a very fascinating thing to see the things that we as humans have been able to accomplish through time. How we were able to build amazing things, utilizing only our imaginations and the resources around us.

This project is no stranger to these feelings I have and can teach a lot of things to anyone attempting it. We gave it a try at our hackerspace H3 Laboratories
There are various ways that you can do this project of course, so you can take ideas and go melt some aluminum at your house or hackerspace. Invite some people over and melt Aluminum together. It may look simple but it is very enjoyable and camaraderie forming.
