After two years, I think I have my Replicator (apparently the first one shipped) finally working reliably to produce >1 hour prints. Thank you @iandanforth for asking if I had a description of the mods I did and prompting me to write this. The Replicator has been a very frustrating product. Things I have done thus far (in roughly chronological order): * Replaced heated build plate since the original was very non-flat * Replaced both thermocouples with parts from Makerbot * Installed new extruder design (eliminates all filament feed issues) * Installed Bottleworks aluminum replacement arms * Went to three-point bed leveling by removing one of the four leveling nuts. The heated build platform and thermocouple issues were just bad original parts from Makerbot. Assuming the basic mechatronics of the printer work, the most critical fix is the new extruder design. The next most critical mod is replacing those stupid plastic cantilever arms with something sturdier.

Projek #2 Menyalakan 6 Led secara berturut. « Arduinostudio's Blog Posted on September 8, 2009. Filed under: Led, Projek & Tutorial | Label:Arduino Project | Dalam Projek pertama anda telah pun belajar bagaimana menyala dan mematikan kan led. Dalam projek ini pula anda akan belajar bagaimana menyalakan 6 led secara berturut ala “Knight Rider”. Komponen yang diperlukan: Papan pembagunan Arduino Perintang 220ohm X 6 Led merah (atau warna lain kegemaran anda) X 6 Wayar penyambung. Pasangkan komponen mengikut gambarajah diatas. Contoh:-Sambugkan perintang 220 ohm antara Pin 2 dan anod (+) kemudian sambungkan wayar pada bahagian katod (-) ke breadboard anda. Taipkan kod dibawah menggunakan Sketch dan muatnaik ke Arduino Anda. /* * Projek #2 Menyalakan 6 Led secara berturut. * * * */ int timer = 100; // masa untuk turutan int pins[] = { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 }; // turutan no pin int num_pins = 6; // jumlah pin yang digunakan void setup() { int i; void loop() int i; for (i = 0; i < num_pins; i++) { // loop through each pin…

PUMPKINROT.COM: What's Brewing | ultra-lab Ya está: la primera de las 3 nuevas impresoras de Makerbot Industries nos ha llegado. Desde hace unos días, hemos podido descubrir y probar este nuevo modelo, la Replicator Quinta generación. Más allá de sus características – impresión en PLA, resolución de 100 micras y amplia superficie de impresión -, probar la Replicator Quinta generación es descubrir una serie de nuevas funcionalidades y disfrutar de más usabilidad aún. El usuario que descubrirá directamente este modelo, podrá apreciar su grado de madurez. Unboxing y puesta en marcha La puesta en marcha de la Replicator Quinta generación es muy sencilla. Esos dos últimos puntos son dos novedades: el filamento ahora está integrado en el cuerpo de la impresora, haciéndola más compacta y evitando así que el filamento se enrolle; el extrusor es totalmente amovible y se coloca gracias a un imán. Calibración automática y detección automática de filamento Interfaz y memoria Conexión Ethernet o USB Escritorio Makerbot

materiel necessaire pour table rgb led pour premier projet je souhaite faire une table led rgb Pour un premier projet c'est quand même assez ambitieux. 100 LED RGB cela fait quand même 300 LEDs à piloter. Tu peux faire des capteurs de proximité directement avec tes leds.... Alors là cela devient excessivement ambitieux. L'utilisation de capteurs IR entre les LED est peut être moins élégante (d'autre diront plus bourrin) mais plus facile à mettre en œuvre. Concernant la gestion des LED tu devrais faire un tour sur le playground il y a des infos sur le multiplexage et l'utilisation de registres à décalage pour piloter les LED. i.materialise 3D printing service blog Are you looking for a specific model; but can’t find the right size? Dave Cowden, a mechanical engineer with a passion for 3D printing, came up with the solution: Parametric Parts . An interview! What’s your background? David : «I was educated as a Mechanical Engineer, but I’ve always enjoyed ‘making things’. Why did you start Parametric Parts? Can you tell us a little bit more about it? «Designers can create models that yield an unlimited number of possibilities, and users can finally get what they want without endless searching.» How will it help designers? How easy is it to use? Right now there are 14 models; how many models do you want to put online in time? Do you make these models? Can you give an example how and why designers would want to customize these models? Who can use your web based app? i.materialise is now the only service to print your designs from Parametric Parts, just click on i.materialise when you’re done:

64 RGB-LED Color Table - Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog Edo from Germany built a real cool LED table that is controlled by Arduino microcontrollers. As soon as we get some more details we will add it to this article. Edo sent in some pictures and some text about the design and himself. Via: Top 5 Cool Tables Comments "My name is Edo, I am a 23 years old from Hamburg Germany and I’m studying computer science at the Hamburg university of applied science.
