Building an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is always a challenge, and making it waterproof is often a major hurdle. [Filip Buława] and [Piotr Domanowski] have spent four years and …read more Continue reading 3D Printed ROV Is The Result Of Many Lessons Learned
When learning about the design of a machine or mechanism, reading and watching videos is certainly effective, but it’s hard to beat hands-on experimentation. In the video after the break, …read more Continue reading Exploring Piston Engine Design With LEGO
Threaded inserts are great for melting into FDM prints with a soldering iron. The process isn’t so simple for resin prints, since they don’t generally soften with heat. Off course, …read more Continue reading The Best Threaded Holes For Resin Parts
Traditional Chinese landscape scrolls can be a few dozen feet long and require the viewer to move along its length to view all the intricate detail in each section. [Dheera …read more Continue reading Infinitely Scrolling E-Ink Landscape Never Repeats
Being visible to motorists is a constant concern for cyclists, but we doubt [The Q] will have this problem with his RGB LED illuminated tires made from glue sticks. The …read more Continue reading Lighting Up Glue Stick Bicycle Tyres With RGB
3D-printed gearboxes are always an interesting design challenge, especially if you want to make them compact. [ZeroBacklash] created a little strain wave gearbox (harmonic drive) for when you want to …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Strain Wave Gearbox
[Martin] of the band [Wintergatan] is on his third quest to build the ultimate musical marble machine, and that means dropping marbles with maximum reliability and precision timing. Working through …read more Continue reading Dropping Marbles With Millisecond Accuracy
3D printing allows the physical manufacturing of some unique geometries that are simply not possible with other processes. If you design around these strengths, it is possible to create parts …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Heat Exchanger Uses Gyroid Infill For Cooling
Slicing software needs to maintain a balance between ease-of-use and control, while handling handle any STL file you throw at it. If you eliminate the need to convert an existing …read more Continue reading Playing With The Power Of Full G-Code Control
Daily triggers for automation are simple in theory, unless it needs to keep track of the calendar that humans actually live by. Seasonal changes, shifting public holidays, or just being …read more Continue reading Using Google Calendar For Machines To Keep Track Of Human Days
