Sphere anemometers are simple devices that use the wind drag force on a sphere to determine the wind speed by equating the weight of the sphere with the drag force in a pendulum like configuration. Modern versions of this device use…
This is a hack for using BIC ballpoints pens on vintage pen plotters. I've tested on a Roland GRX-400, and it works. Note that this model is highly experimental, more experimentation is need. Please adapt it to your needs and to you…
Dice for board games. OpenSCAD file available.
Testing an idea of a 3D printed spherical gear joint (look at the OpenSCAD files for further details). Backlash is an issue. Need some more work in order to be useful for a mechanical robot arm, but that's a start. Check the video to see…
This a simple hack of a resistor ventThe basic idea is to build a small speaker enclosure and use a resistance vent to minimize the boomimg effect that the small box imposes on the final frequency response. More details here:…
A knob for gripping and turning Designed a knob, a functional knob for gripping and turning, gripping and turning... Description There are two variations of the same design. Both knobs provide excellent tactile feedback and a high…
This is a clip designed to hang bags directly on a pegboard. Prints in just one solid piece. Since the model is completely flat on the bottom, take it straight from the print bed onto the pegboard. The clip uses the natural flexibility of…
Simple vase pot for small plants. Print it with 3 walls, 6 top/bottom layers and 0.2 layer height.
The keystick is printable mechanical linkage that converts 4-way key actuation (2, 4, 6, 8) into a central joystick move . Context and motivation This proposal is based on an old idea from Spain's Centro de Referencia Estatal de Autonomía…
To print this watertight ink reservoir with a brush rest holder use 3 top/bottom layers and 3 wall perimeters, that's it! Tested with infill of 20% and 0.2mm layers. Happy painting!
