The MicroSlice | A tiny Arduino laser cutter The MicroSlice uses Grbl v0.8 for motion control. Grbl converts G-Code into commands that the EasyDriver stepper motor controllers understand. We need another program to send the G-Code to Grbl, for this I'll be using Zapmaker's Grbl Controller v3.0. Before you can begin you will need the Arduino IDE, available from the Arduino website. Make sure your Laser Diode is not connected to the power lines while you are configuring your MicroSlice. Grbl's wiki shows you how to flash the pre-compiled Grbl hex file onto your Arduino. For those of you who have a Raspberry Pi, as I do, you'll be pleased to know that you can control the MicroSlice using your Pi! We'll need to generate some G-Code. Before we can use our new G-Code we'll need to configure Grbl to use the stepper motors and end-stops. You can use either the Arduino IDE Serial Terminal (CTRL + Shift + M) to send commands to Grbl. The settings we are interested in are $0 & $1. We calculate it thus; (20 x 8) / 3 = 53.333333333 6 | Save

Mendel-Parts.com Panneau Solaire - Panneau de chauffage solaire fait en canettes Il est en réalité incroyablement simple et économique de construire un chauffage solaire d'appoint pour sa maison. Le plus intéressant est que le système d'accumulation de la chaleur est construit a partir de canettes en aluminium vides! Plusieurs facteurs font qu'entre les énergies renouvelables (et écologiques), et les énergies conventionnelles (non renouvelables et non écologiques), le choix qui s'impose est d'abord celui de l'énergie conventionnelle avec pour argument principal le prix. Par exemple, les gigantesques profits générés par les monopoles sur les réserves stratégiques de pétrole. Le chauffage solaire est construit a l'intérieur d'un cadre en bois (contre-plaqué 15mm), d'une plaque de Plexiglas / polycarbonate de 3mm. Le panneau solaire est fabriqué a partir de canettes de bière et de soda et couvertes d'une peinture noire résistante aux hautes températures. Pour commencer, il faut récupérer des canettes vides qui seront le coeur de notre système. ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

Easy 3D Printer Toolchain « printthat The software that controls open source 3d printers is still in a state of flux. It can be difficult to navigate your way through all the options to try to put together a toolchain that will do what it is supposed to do. I know, I’ve been doing just that for a while now. Eventually I figured that I was only really helping myself because I was piling one patch onto another trying to make things work in my specific situation…and it wasn’t working all that well. So, I started over. The primary factor in deciding what toolchain to put together is the operating system your computer runs on. From that point forward all you have to do is download Java, which is free, and Python, which is free, and Arduino, which is free, and in this case I’ve choosen ReplicatorG (best and best supported), which is also free. But don’t worry. *I am sort of assuming you’re using RAMPS and Windows, but I can’t test this process with anything else at the moment. Like this: Like Loading...
A 3D printer built with MakerSlide A simple, stable, and scalable 3D printer proposal. Barton Dring (bdring) of Buildlog.Net fame recently designed a 3D printer based on the multifunctional MakerSlide beams. MakerSlide, another of bdring’s projects, was designed to provide a standardized linear bearing for CNC digital fabrication equipment. It launched on KickStarter last year with 5x the requested funding. This new design takes advantage of the simplicity and scalability of MakerSlide. The result is a 3D printer that is easy to fabricate, easy to assemble, easily scalable for a larger build area, and is extremely stable. Bdring is considering offering this as a kit if there is enough interest, so if you’re interested, be sure to tell him. More images after the jump.

Mendel90 updates It has been a long road but I am now in a position to sell complete kits for Mendel90. My original plan was to use laser cut acrylic but the companies I got quotes from could not guarantee the holes sizes would be accurate enough to be tapped. I also found out that 3mm Dibond is stiffer than 6mm acrylic as well as being a lot lighter and cheaper. The downside is that the polyethylene core is too soft and the aluminium wall too thin to tap a thread into reliably. Because the underside of the base now has screw heads protruding, the machine has to have some form of feet to raise it. I changed the default electronics from Sanguinololu to Melzi because it includes the SD card interface and fan drive on board and uses screw connectors rather than friction fit. I also changed the PSU to an ATX500 because I can buy them in the UK with CE approval and they come with integral mains inlet and switch, obviating the need for the kit builder to do their own mains wiring.

dood présente DOM: Digital Object Maker The project Who are we? We are two childhood friends with complementary skills: mechanical engineering, business, arts, marketing, music, teaching... 3D printing has been a passion of ours for years. We use this technology for personal projects as well as for building prototypes for our clients. Origin of the project We decided to create our own 3D printer to become more independant and have access to a cheap and efficient solution. We could have assembly or order one of the many RepRap models available but we were not entirely satisfied by the mechanical part of these machines. Our printer: the Digital Object Maker After more than a year of work, we finally succeed at building a reliable machine. This technology lets inventors, designers, architects or makers with CAD knowledge create objects, test ergonomy or even produce small batches of a product. Technical Specs. of the DOM Dimensions: 61x41x41 cm (24x16x16 inch) Materials: wood, aluminium, stainless steel Layer thickness: 300 to 100 microns
