Sure, we see quite a few plotters and other motion machines, but the one from [DAZ Projects] has the virtual of looking dead simple. The Arduino and CNC shield are old hat, of course. But some 3D printed pulleys and a very simple-looking core XY arrangement looks like this could be a pretty quick build. You might […]
PEN PLOTTER IS ABOUT AS SIMPLE AS IT CAN GET Continue Reading
Although the widespread use of 3D printers has made things like linear bearings and leadscrews more common, you still can’t run down to your local big-box hardware store and get them. However, you can get drawer slides and any hobby shop can sell you some RC servos. That and an Arduino can make a simple and

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that if it’s got a silicon chip inside, it could be carrying a virus. Research by one group focused on hiding a trojan inside an AVR Arduino bootloader, proving even our little hobbyist microcontrollers aren’t safe. The specific aim of the research was to hide a

Having a 3D printer or a CNC machine available for projects is almost like magic. Designing parts in software and having them appear on the workbench is definitely a luxury. But for a lot of us, these tools aren’t easily available and projects that use them can be out-of-reach. That’s why one of the major

When I saw a COREXY (or H-Bot) plotter, I thought I would make it someday. Since most of its components were made from 3D printers so I have postponed it. Fortunately, once again the PVC pipes gave me an idea to build it with a special version. My Dual-Task CoreXY DrawBot can perform double tasks simultaneously, eg:

A 4D printed object is like a 3D printed object, but it changes shape or self-assembles when its environment changes. [Teaching Tech] has been reading about this technology and decided to try to replicate it using his conventional 3D printer. His attempts to make a joint that changes when submerged in the water looked at several

Flight yokes are key to getting an authentic experience when playing a flight simulator, but [Michel Rechtin] didn’t want to pay big money for a commercially-available solution. He ended up building a design using a lot of parts he had laying around, which saved money and worked out great. The build is based around an Arduino

An interactive coaster that reminds you to drink water. I myself find it hard to reach the daily water intake. I can go on without water for hours when sitting behind my desk. For this purpose alsone, I created a coaster that reminds me to take a drink after a certain amount of time. The

Intro Dit is een Arduino project die ik heb gemaakt voor een schoolopdracht, in deze documentatie zal ik instructies geven over hoe je dit zelf ook kan maken en wat je ervoor nodig hebt. Ook leg ik hierin vast het concept, iteraties en een korte reflectie. Concept Wat dit apparaat doet is het om zich

For this project, I created an Arduino-powered chisel which can communicate with a game I made in Unity, Soft Squares. You can paint over a 5 x 5 x 5 cube and chip away cubes you don’t need, to create a miniature sculpture of whatever you’d like! You can even add colour to your creations.
