DIY - Portable Mini Photo Studio. For publish my project on instructables, I need to take lots of photos and needed a handy place to quickly take the step-by-step project shots that has a plain background and lots of light. I always work in my bedroom, that have a minimal lighting and just a have a little space. When I took photos of projects that I made, especially for electronic project that have a lot of small components – there was always a distracting background and became blur because of the lighting. So I think, it will really helpful if I have my own photo studio. There are Mini Photo Studio tent and lighting kit that you can buy from eBay or other online shop, it is compact, portable and easy to set up, Mini Kit Photo Photography Studio . But the price are not friendly for me. So I could make that, from cheap materials and it cost me just about $1.
OK, let's get started!! Emergency Light/Charger from Fire & Water. DIY a really simple Thermoelectric Emergency Generator from very few parts. Optimized for powering with tealights/candles. With inspiration from my previous projects: and This was made as an experiment to test efficiency when using water as cooling component in a thermoelectric system. The result was very interesting and as it was really easy to make I thought I could share this too. Background: It converts heat energy (from candles) into electricity. Concept: I´m using a thermoelectic module, also called peltier element, TEC or TEG. Solution: First I used a cheap TEC-module (8€) but it was unfortunately destroyed due to high temperatures.
To transport away all heat and cool it with air you usually need a large heat sink, or a small heat sink with a motor and fan. To power LEDs you need higher voltage than the module itself produce. Features: Ultimate Blacklight BattleShots! Build a Thermal Flashlight - Light Painting with Temperature. How to Talk to Someone Using Ham Radio. First off, you must get be licensed to operate on ham radio frequencies. It requires some basic knowledge and studying, but can easily be accomplished. Children as young as 8 years old have gotten licensed, or as hams say, got their 'ticket'. How do you get a license, or 'ticket'? First, you must purchase study material. There are different forms of studying material, and you should use whichever you feel most comfortable with. I, myself have studied using both online programs and books. There are different types of licenses. Technician Allows you to operate on a limited range of frequencies.
General Allows you to operate on a much larger range of frequencies. Extra Allows you to operate on all ham bands and frequencies. What are the frequencies each licensee can transmit on? For you to make a QSO, all you really need is a Technician class license, but General and Extra licenses offer much more frequencies to transmit on and more power. What do I bring to an exam? Great!

How to Convert Water into Fuel by Building a DIY Oxyhydrogen Generator. Pepakura Designer. Hobby WOW. Making a Hard-Shell Mold. Step #1: Getting started. PrevNext The silicone is poured into 2 halves, and each half registers into its respective mother mold. Before doing anything else, take a permanent marker and draw a parting line down the exact middle of the original part, marking 2 symmetrical halves.
This is the line you’ll sculpt everything to — even with simple objects like this, every mold maker I know does it, and you should too. Step #2: Pre-fill any voids. Before we make the mold itself, we need to make your original model mold-worthy. Step #3: Make a foam-core “table.” Next, we’ll make a table out of foam-core on which to sculpt the first half of the mold. Step #4: Measure from the parting line to the table. Step #5: Make a funnel for pouring the casting resin. Now you need to decide where the top of your mold will be, into which you’ll pour the casting resin. Step #6: Make the clay dam. Since you want the clay to be a uniform thickness, a rolling pin is ideal for the job. Step #8: Pour the first blanket. Take a Hidden Picture. Take a picture is a fine-art project by artists Brad Blucher and Kyle Clements.
In the exhibit, the human eye see is only able to see blank surfaces (in our case, blank canvases). People walk up to the show space and see blank canvases hanging on the wall. They see absolutely nothing, then make some nasty comments: "Those lazy, pretentious artists, thinking they can get away with doing absolutely nothing. " What the audience is unable to see is the hidden maze of wires and circuits.
IR LEDs behind the canvas are emitting light that their eyes can’t see, but a digital camera can. Holding a digital camera up to these seemingly blank canvases will reveal hidden images. This project revolves around one single, extremely simple principle: IR light is visible to digital camera sensors, but invisible to the human eye. This guide assumes that you are already familiar with woodworking, stretching canvas, designing and etching your own circuit boards, and working with basic electronics. How to build a wood computer. In this instructable I will show you pictures of how I built a computer tower out of wood.
I am starting a CNC wood sign carving business and it would be great to have a laser to engrave and cut signs for customers. I needed to upgrade to a better computer for my cnc router and thought of making it out of wood. Here is an overview of how I did it... Tools and Materials Used: V carve pro software CNC router Table saw X acto knife (1)2x4ft sheet, 3/16in birch plywood (1) 2x2ft sheet, 3/16in birch plywood 150 and 400 grit sandpaper Enamel Paint Natural color Velvit oil CA instant super glue or wood glue Small wood screws Total cost: $160 Time to complete: 5hrs Buy the computer parts: Tiger direct sells computer parts and kits. The parts list shows what I used and a few parts that I laying around the shop. Design and layout: I designed the tower using V carve pro and saved the tool paths. Cutting wood: Next it was cut on my cnc router using a 1/4in endmill and 60 deg v bit.
Done! Build a Homemade Cell Phone Jammer. Weekend Project: Make a Simple Laser Communicator. Weekend Projects - Optical Tremolo Box. Bentwood Rings. This is my first Instructable, so I hope that I do not forget anything. I was commissioned by a close friend to make a set of rings for a surprise engagement and a set for wedding bands. I started off with solid wood blanks and a drill press. After making what I thought be a perfect ring, it broke after a couple weeks of wear. At this point I went back to the drawing board and started to research bentwood rings. This not only solved the issue of strength, but also allowed for the beautiful wood grain to show. 1. 2:Making the Ring: Cutting: Start of by selecting the veneer. Mold Making and Casting: Cold Casting resin with metal powders. DiResta: Skull Ring. Bookmaking with Jimmy DiResta.
Direct to PCB InkJet Resist Printing Modifications for Epson Stylus C84 by Stefen Trethan. Epson Stylus C84 by Stefen Trethan Stripping down First all plastic is removed around the C84 that is not required for printing. This is the side caps, the main body, and some smaller loose bits. At this point the printer will still print normally. Preparation make sure the printer is in good working order, and the parking station is clean. Do a nozzle check to make sure the head is working on all nozzles. This is also the best point to install spongeless cartridges^ with auto-reset chips^ and test them on paper.
Volkan says: "You need to use MIS PRO yellow or magenta; both are working but yellow is the best etch resistant. Rear Paper path The paper feeder is removed from the back, taking out the optical paper sensor. This sensor is glued to the side of the paper slot (in the metal chassis), so that the material passing through here will activate it. Front Paper Path Remove the pizza wheels from the output. Central Transport Roller Remove the middle pressure roller assy. Head Height Carrier. Converting an Inkjet Printer to Print PCBs. Recently one of my focuses has been to find a way to make the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) creation process easier. I like being able to design something based on what I want in a circuit and just making it myself on the random weekend.
While the toner transfer method has been my go to in the past it’s just not nearly as consistent as I would like it to be. The specific pressure of the iron and timing both make it a hit or miss approach. I’m not a fan of hit or miss I like to know something is going to work every time I try to do it. This sentiment got me exploring new ideas for PCB creation which is the topic of this project. About a year and a half ago I found this webpage on modifying an Epson inkjet printer into a printer capable of printing on thicker materials such as copper clad board used by hobbyists such as myself to create custom circuit boards.
So all that being said let's start with the tools and materials you'll need for this project: Homemade arduino printer. If you want to make your own high resolution printer (maybe not so high res), you are at the right place. This Instructable will show you how to do with two dead cd/dvd drive and a pen (pilot, whiteboard marker, whatever you have) at the best lego-printer style. Here is how our printer will work: we type any message in terminal then the message will be printed (as dot matrix) and after the message is printed the program will wait for another message. For this magnificent printer you will need: 1) 1 x Arduino (I've used the Duemilanove) 2) 2 x H-Bridge (SN754410) 3) 3 x small dc motors from any cd/dvd drive 4) 3 x switches from the same cd/dvd drive 5) A pen or marker 6) Wire 7) Rubber string 8) Sheave 9) Stick with round rubber like the rollers in a real printer, the wheels from a toy car should work. 10) Acrylic, wood or whatever you have to build the structure. 11) 5v and 9v power supply If you have an old printer you can use its structure and save some time to build one.
Energy Weapon Specialist 2. Gallery | Metal Art by Danno. Pepakura Download Database. Here's a pdo of the ma5c resized to 88cm (no need to resize, 88cm is the measurment given on the Wiki) I tried to split pieces up so that each piece would not span multiple pages, unfortunately, there are a couple pieces that would not cooperate. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet (printers on the fritz) After dealing with this, I wish I'd started with a pistol, the rifle took a day or so to do.
Oh, I don't think it has enough support to replace the barrels with PVC, build up a card stock one first. There are also a couple pieces that appear to form a torus or donut, this is likely a result of how it was modeled. Warning about working with the raw 3ds data: the models include objects which indicate where it is held, glow effects, and some other reasons. These can be hidden, but pepakura still calculates them in the size of the finished model; and pepakura does not allow deleting of these object, so I guess I'll be loading 3ds & moding them to work better.
