Create a display of 8×8 square pixels that can work independently. And to easily reprogram it to display different animations. Also I don’t have a 3D printer, so I needed to make it out of things around the house.

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

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

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 Outdated technology The advent of USB and Wi-Fi-enabled printers is still quite recent.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

Hooking up a laser to a CNC gantry isn’t exactly an Earth-shattering innovation, but it does make for a useful tool. Even a cheap diode laser mounted to an old 3D printer can do engraving, marking, or even light-duty cutting. But what about a laser engraver without the laser? Can that be of any use?

A team of students from the German Saarland University in Saarbrücken, has created a unique handheld printer using an Arduino Mega 2560 called the Print-A-Sketch. The small handheld printer is capable of printing conductive ink images and will automatically correct any user errors during the print process, as well as providing a wide-ranging drawing tools to create any designs you

I have a FlashForge Finder 3D printer that did not come with a heated bed. The factory build plate is also somewhat limiting in what kind of build surfaces you can use. I finally decided it was time to resolve those issues and added a heated bed. For my project, I needed to convert the

We’ve often heard it said that springs come in in all shapes and sizes…except for the one you need. In light of this, the hardware hacker would do well to keep the tools and knowledge required to make a custom spring close at hand when building something that moves. Luckily, all it really take is
