Collaborate Disseminate
A few months ago we brought you some experiments from [Bill Wera, N2CQR], in which he investigated the use of a glue stick as the former for a permeability tuned …read more Continue reading A Practical Glue Stick Oscillator
When is a hot glue stick not a hot glue stick? When it’s PLA, of course! A glue gun that dispenses molten PLA instead of hot glue turned out to be a handy tool for joining 3D-printed objects together, once I had figured out how to print my own “glue” sticks out of PLA. The result is a bit like a plus-sized 3D-printing pen, but much simpler and capable of much heavier extrusion. But it wasn’t quite as simple as shoving scrap PLA into a hot glue gun and mashing the trigger; a few glitches needed to be ironed out. …read more
