X700 INSTALLATION OF A MILLIAMPEREMETER
I have been wanting to install a milliamperemeter in my lasercutter/engraver for some time. The reason for this is that i haven’t been able to make the lasertubes last as long as they are advertised. I recently purchased a Reci 100W tube, and this time i want it to last as long as possible. Here is a link to the tube i ordered. The life span can reach 10,000 hours if the current is kept below 26mA. Here is the analogue...
DIY POKEMON POKEBALL
My son really wanted a pokeball for his 11th birthday so i decided to make one for him. I had a switch lying around that would be perfect for this project so i designed the ball around that. First i designed the pokeball in 3Ds Max Then i printed it with the Formlabs Form 2 3D printer After removing the support material, i sanded the 2 pieces pretty smooth. Here i did a test fitting of the switch. Fits perfectly 🙂 I then glued into...
SAMSUNG CHARGING STATION
I wanted to have a charging station for both my phone and smart watch. This project was just a small project, but ended up to be one of my favourites as it works exactly how i intended it to work. I printed it on the Form 1+ 3D printer, but because of the size of the design i had to print it in two parts and glue it back toghether. The charger for the smart watch (Galaxy Gear S) had a tab on the side that i had to dremel of to get it...
WATER SENSOR
This is a simple sensor for detecting water. This is a project that i made for someone at work, that needed a water-sensor for detecting leaks from washing machines. This is a portable battery powered device that is easily put on the floor in front of the machine in the usual path of running water (The floor has a slight tilt). The sensor itself is made up of two paralell wires and a 1 Mohm resistor, so when water comes between the...
OLED WATCH
A couple of weeks ago i saw this project by Zak Kemble here:http://blog.zakkemble.co.uk/diy-digital-wristwatch/. I emediately wanted to build one myself using off-the-shelf parts. Microcontroller: Arduino Mini Pro from Sparkfun Real Time Clock: DS1307 from Robonor OLED display: Monochrome 1.3″ 128×64, SSD1306 from Adafruit Battery: Lithium Ion Polymer Battery – 3.7v 150mAh from Adafruit Charger: Adafruit Micro Lipo...
FOOLPROOF 3D PRINTER
FDM 3D printers are notorius at failing during big prints, and there is nothing worse than printing for 10+ hours just having to start over. So i started thinking about solutions to fix this problem. The most common problems is fillament getting stuck in the spool, and blocking in the extruder. So i had to come up with a solution to remedy those two problems. The idea: Make the fillament go trough a gear that rotates with teeth...
