Making the Maker Hub: Printing a 3d printer, Arduino and construction pics

RepRap Update I have finally printed all the plastic parts for the Griffin Open Source 3D printer I’m building, and they look fantastic! The remaining components should arrive soon, and then I can start construction. In the meantime, I’ve been configuring the printer control board, an Arduino Mega 2560 with the RAMPS 1.4 extension. RAMPS […]

SELPIC P1 – THE WORLD’S SMALLEST HANDHELD PRINTER HITS INDIEGOGO FOR ONLY $99

News & Updates / Muhammad Bilal

Handheld printers are changing what we think we know about getting digital prints on an object/surface. They are allowing users to print whatever they want, from logos to pictures, on whatever surface they want, from clothes to books and merch, in a manner that we would have considered impossible a few years back. While they

An Alarm Clock (but It Is Harder to Turn Off)

Clock – Timer Project Ideas / Muhammad Bilal

The inspiration for this project was the dreadfully painful waking up process in the morning. And now that school is starting back up I had to get off of the summer schedule where you could get away with not waking up at the crack of dawn. Often times I’d find myself snoozing my alarm clock

Arduino Quadruped Robot: Walks, Skims & Grips

Robotics – Automation Projects / Muhammad Bilal

I made an Arduino quadruped robot “by-hand,” meaning without a kit or a 3D printer. It walks using a “long step” gait, which can be very smooth and natural looking. It didn’t quite come out the way I wanted though. However, to make my robot unique, I had the idea to create a skimming-type motion

Tele Vaidya – Remote Health Monitor

Other Project Ideas / Muhammad Bilal

Every human being requires health care as one of their basic needs. However, many poor countries are unable to achieve the requirements due to a lack of medical health experts or doctors, as well as sanitary facilities such as hospitals. These are the most pressing issues that must be addressed as quickly as feasible. Supplies

Modern hardware transforms this 80s typewriter into a Linux terminal and ASCII art printer

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

Bottom line: Repurposing obsolete hardware is a popular pastime among the tech community, and the latest project from the YouTube channel Artillect is a fine example of what’s possible when thinking outside of the box. Is it practical? No, not really. Is it neat? Absolutely. Riley took a Brother AX-25 electronic typewriter from the late 1980s that utilizes

Adding Wi-Fi to a 35-Year-Old Printer for Making ASCII Art

Arduino News / Muhammad Bilal

In a continuation of Clem Mayer’s previous project, he’s now adding Wi-Fi connectivity for starting prints wirelessly from anywhere. Outdated technology The advent of USB and Wi-Fi-enabled printers is still quite recent. Before they were released to the market, these devices could only communicate over far more primitive data links. The classic parallel port is
