My version of the LYMAN FILAMENT EXTRUDER by bottleworks These files are posted to give some ideas to those who are making an extruder. This is by no means a "how to" or anything of the sort. The STL and sketchup files are included.
An Organic Light Emitting Diode </p><p><h2>ENABLE JAVASCRIPT<br />TO PLAY MOVIES<br />OF EACH STEP</h2> Modification by Jason Marmon, George Lisensky, and Wendy deProphetis from Frank G. Gao and Allen J. Bard, "Solid-State Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) Complexes," Journal of the American Chemical Society, 122(30), 7426-7427 (2000) and Hannah Sevian, Sean Muller, Hartmut Rudmann, and Michael F. mUVe 1 3D Printer The mUVe 1 3D printer is bridging the gap between the hobbyist maker and the high-price resin printers that are currently out of their reach. The mUVe 1 uses a standard 405nm UV laser diode and a 3 axis CNC system to bring all of your high-resolution 3D models to life. When we set out to design a 3D printer we needed it to be as open and upgradable as possible, but it still had to offer great features at a great price. The mUVe 1 is completely open, we share everything, the designs, the software, all of it! On top of it all we still manage to do it for less money than anyone else, and it’s extremely energy efficient with only 25 watts of power consumption on average.
The Lyman Filament Extruder May Drop the Cost of Desktop 3D Printing Forever The Desktop Factory Competition launched in June 2012 challenged makers to design a cheap, open source method to turn plastic pellets (which sell for $10 kg) into filament suitable for a desktop 3D printer (that currently sells for $50 per kg). 83 Year old inventor Hugh Lyman developed the Lyman Filament Extruder II which for under $250 in parts can take standard plastic ABS pellets and squeeze them into filament. The fact that this device is released as open source hardware means that others can modify and improve the mechanism to lower the cost and increase the efficiency, just as we have seen with the open source desktop 3D printers based on the RepRap. The speed of innovation in the open source 3D printing world is making many of the large industrial 3D printer manufacturers appear to be moving in slow motion.
Open Source Energy Network (OSEN) (Teaser page created prior to Oct. 22, 2005 launch) An alternative energy non-profit organization preparing to launch. Will feature inventor tools, open source communication resources, daily news with radio and video component, blogs, comprehensive directory. Available Features Food Grade Filament (Save 10% with Coupon Code SPRING - if we sell it you can save 10% with our HUGE Spring Sale - Ends SOON!) 3D Printing Facts, Tips, Tricks & Other Bottom of the Page Nuggets from MakerGeeks.com What Temperature to 3D Print your Filament at? 83-year-old inventor wins $40,000 award for his DIY filament extruder Mar.4, 2013 On March 2, 2013 Zach Kaplan, CEO of online store Inventables, presents a giant check to inventor and competition winner Hugh Lyman. Inventables, the Kauffman Foundation and Maker Faire announced in May 2012 the launch of The Desktop Factory Competition - each team is required to design an open source machine capable of making plastic resin pellets fit for use in a low cost 3D printer. The purpose of this competition is to drive down the cost of filament by creating a new filament extruder. Currently the cost of plastic filament is $30~50/kg, by creating such a new machine the organizers seek to make the filament price drop to around $5. The first one who uploads a solution will be the winner -The first team/person to build an open source filament extruder for less than $250 in components can take ABS or PLA resin pellets, mix them with colorant, and extrude a 1.75mm +/- .01mm filament that can be used in a 3D printer is declared the winner.
2KW DIY Solar panels made of pop cans for home solar heating At the end, the solar absorber is painted black and placed in the diy solar panels casing. The casing is covered with plexiglass that we attach to the frame and thoroughly corked with silicone. Polycarbonate / plexiglass is slightly convex in order to gain greater strength. You can see installed solar absorber without plexiglass in picture 18. Complete solar collector is shown on Picture 19, and finally, installed solar system can be seen in Picture 20. 3D Printing with Maya – How to Export for Slicing Although Maya is strictly speaking not a CAD software (Autodesk Inventor might be a better choice), it is a very good tool for preparing models for 3D printing. This post will give you a short introduction on how to prepare and export 3d models in Maya for printing on reprap and ultimaker printers. 1.
How an 83-Year-Old Inventor Beat the High Cost of 3D Printing If there were an award for Emerging Gadget Most Likely to Change Everything, it might well go to the 3D printer. These devices, which turn digital blueprints into physical objects made out of plastic or other materials, are getting better, simpler and cheaper at such a dizzying pace that it’s not hard to imagine a future in which they’re as pervasive as PCs. Already, you can buy a basic desktop model for under $500. It’s dangerous, however, to get too hung up on the sticker prices of the 3D printers themselves. 7 Foot Axial Flux Wind Turbine This instructable documents the process of my single rotor wind turbine. It is built with inspiration from Hugh Piggot and the folks at Otherpower.com. This is my first attempt at building a wind turbine, and I will try to include the mistakes I've made along the way so that other first-time builders can avoid them!
Arizona Shop Structure I have a strong interest in alternative construction techniques that fundamentally make sense even if the ‘how-to’ phase hasn’t been documented for decades and accepted into building codes--because code allows so many people to live in drastically energy inefficient, burnable, rot prone structures that use a lot of materials which are suspect in terms of human health. I moved to rural, southeastern Arizona because the high desert climate agreed with me and there were no building codes here, which allowed me to try a variety of alternative construction projects on my property. My first experience with alternative buildings was via my neighbor out here, who built a strawbale house which burned to the ground inside of half an hour.
