This is a fun little delta robot that is mostly 3D printed with no special parts. The delta robot uses 3 stepper motors to move. Parts Required 1x Arduino UNO 1x CNC shield ...
This is a device that can point to the sun or moon within the sky. This device could be used to track the sun, moon, planets, satellites or other celestial objects. The device ...
I have wanted a plasma cutter for a while and instead of buying one I decided to make one. The 2D plotter machine did not take too long to make and has been sitting around for about a year while I...
I wanted to make something that could shoot nerf darts or disk when triggered. I have been looking around for a nerf blaster that I could modify but I have not been able to find one. I could have...
This robot was made as a tester for a different project because I did not want to be carrying around a bigger heavier robot while I was developing and testing. This robot works similarly to the...
This machine is proof of concept design. It is a very simple machine to make an object vibrate a set frequency/speed. the machine uses an offset axle to convert a rotational movement to a...
Cyclone PCB Factory Dual Z-axis allows the Cyclone PCB Factory to have 2 attachment on the Z-axis. This allows for different accessories to be used as a pick and place head and solder paste...
I wanted to make PCB V-Cutter/Groover to save some money on PCB manufacturing. This machine will cut v-scores in a PCB. The PCB V-Cutter/Groover uses a 30-degree v-cutting blade. There are still a...
This is a sandblasting gun for sandblasting and somehow this works and does not destroy itself within 3 mins. It works better than other blasters that I have used but will not last as long. It...
3D stepper motors controller need a PCB to connect into, this PCB allows these controllers to be mounted almost anywhere and used with many different controllers. I need to have a motor...
This is a Cartridge system for the Cyclone PCB Factory(links below) to allow this machine to do more functions. This machine was designed to mill out PCB for quick prototyping. Since PCBs from...
This is the second version of the vibrating table. This new table uses an electromagnet oscillating at 50Hz to make the vibrations for the table. It has more vibration power than the first which...
This is the first prototype for a magnetic robotic cleaner. This cleaner will be used to pick up screws and other ferrous steel parts from the ground. Over the years, I have always had a problem...
For a different project, I needed to know how the stepper motors were moving and performing. I made this jig to test for this test if the motor is going to the correct location at the correct...
I found the Delta Robot to be interesting in how it works and how it can be used. I thought it would be interesting to try and make one out of parts I had around and 3D printed parts. Unlike most...
I wanted to see how easy it would be to vacuum form PE plastic from milk bottles and turns out you can. The Temperature and timing need to be adjusted but the first test worked out better...
In the next year, I will be trying to create a machine that can pick up screws and this vibrating table will help to flatten them out for them to be picked. The picking machine has not been made...
The old laser cutters water cooling system was very simple with no monitoring and only consisting of a fish pond pump in a bucket of water. For a while now, I have been wanting the upgrade to a...
The MQ Plotter is a machine that plots points on a grid. It is made from a 3D Printer Frame and mechanism with different electronics and additional items. It uses a 12V DC power supply to power...
This robot represents an inverted pendulum where the robot is required to stay upright. If the robot gets pushed or a disturbance is added to the robot, the robot will try and correct it....
The base The base design is done and is working well as the base. It will need to be changed a little for different functions, functions like dipping in multiple different solutions. The...
Base design The base design is working well as is the base. It will need to be changed slightly to attain different functionality such as dipping in multiple different solutions. The design...
This is a programable time lapse for a Go-Pro where tiles on the track deterands how it moves. The system can move in backward/forwards, rotate the camera and soon tilt the camera (when i get...
This Pneumatic Press will be useful in the future for pressing objects into other objects. It will also help experiment with plastic injections systems. The system uses a pneumatic cylinder that...
This mill was made for grinding sand and cleaning objects like rusty bolts. It works but takes a very long time to grind sand down, this is because of the size of the balls are too small....
This machine was a test machine that can dip objects into a solution for coating or cleaning. It works well but the dipping space is not that large, hard to use when the object is large or the...
The hardware this year was given and did not have to create our own but it was impractical for me to keep asking for the robot. From this, I asked if I could make my own and was advised that it...
Ever since I got my 3D print I have always wanted to make a 3D scanner. I have got a Xbox kinect sensor and have used it to scan things into the computer but it can only really do large objects,...
This little WIFI buggy/robot is a test for a much bigger robot. I want to know if i could control a robot with my phone and by using the ESP8266, I can. The Robot is using the PLEX board to...
Using parts from HDD, I have created a spinner that spins a disk, coating PCBs or other flat things in an somewhat even coat of liquid. It is also can be used as a magnetic stirrer by using the...
I have been 3D printing for a while now and now want to to take it to the next level with higher quality. I have done a lot of research on plastic injection moulding and before I go any further...
i made this for a bit of fun. It has an Atmega328p running ardunio connected to 4 motors (2 driving one side), a LCD and buttons for interface. the 3D printed parts came thingiverse by timmiclark....
For a long time, I had wanted some type of RC helicopter but when I saw a quadcopter I want it more. A quad copter is easier and more stable the helicopter. I was looking a very small Arduino...
The Cyclone PCB Factory is a 3D printed CNC which can easily engrave, drill and cut printed circuit boards or PCBs. It makes prototyping quick, simple and easy. I hope to get make many PCB with...
