Reverse-engineered schematics are de rigeur around these parts, largely because they’re often the key to very cool hardware hacks. We don’t get to see many mechanical reverse-engineering efforts, though, which …read more Continue reading Hackable Ham Radio Gives Up Its Mechanical Secrets
Attention, slackers — if you do remote work for a financial institution, using a mouse jiggler might not be the best career move. That’s what a dozen people learned this …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: June 16, 2024
For those who model CAD models regularly, a pair of calipers is essential as it allows reasonably accurate measurements to fit a specific part. However, [Jason Harris] is taking that …read more Continue reading Taking Distance Based CAD To The Next Level
Hackers of a certain age will remember that before the Internet was available to distract us from our work, we had to find our own fun. Luckily, Windows was there …read more Continue reading Meat-Space Minesweeper Game Hits The Mark
3D printing bearings with an FDM printer can be an iffy endeavor, but it doesn’t have to be that way. [Matvey Kukuy]’s Ultimate 608 Bearing with Calibration Kit is everything …read more Continue reading 3D Printable Bearings That Actually Work, No CAD Tweaking Required
PrusaSlicer has a new feature: the ability to import a CAD model for 3D printing. Starting in version 2.5.0-beta1, PrusaSlicer can import STEP format 3D models. An imported STEP file is …read more Continue reading PrusaSlicer Now Imports STEP Files, Here’s Why That’s a Big Deal
Want to add a bit of visual flair to 3D printed parts that goes maybe a little more than skin-deep? That’s exactly what [volzo] was after, which led him to …read more Continue reading Adding Perlin Noise to 3D Printed Parts, with Python
If you look hard enough, most of the projects we feature on these pages have some practical value. They may seem frivolous, but there’s usually something that compelled the hacker …read more Continue reading Online Tool Turns STLs into 3D ASCII Art
We’ve become used to finding models on websites such as Thingiverse and downloading them to print. After all, whose hackerspace doesn’t have a pile of novelty prints? How about printing them on paper? For the plotter enthusiast that can be particularly annoying. Never fear, [Trammell Hudson] is here with an …read more
