Titan Aero MakerSlide mashup
This is a “simple as I could make it” mounting bracket for E3D’s Titan Aero to a Makerslide carriage plate. It is made from 2″ aluminum angle iron (2″ x 2″ x 0.125″ x 93 mm long). It was made using a drill press, table saw and an inexpensive compound slide milling table. It probably […]
Quadrature encoder for Power Wheels gearboxes
These additions to a Power Wheels gearbox along with some open source software and an Arduino allow for sensing how far the gearbox has traveled and in what direction. It counts ~1228 “clicks” per revolution of the output shaft. For Sketchup files or .stls go here. For instructions on how to proceed with the modification click here.
Yet Another Bowden Extruder
This is an extruder designed to be used with 3mm filament in conjunction with a Bowden tube between the extruder and the hot end, to help reduce the mass of the moving print head. The design objectives were to provide for a way to reduce the lateral loads on the gear reduction output shaft, securely […]
Ready for Launch

Laughing Buddha Timelapse
Here’s a video of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29188 compressed down from about 3 hours to a minute and a half. Printed on a delta type printer in ABS. The bed of the printer wasn’t mounted tightly enough horizontally, causing the strips across his belly.
A Thing a Day
As a relative newbie to 3D printing I need lots of practice. So I’ll be posting something newly printed each day. Here’s the first one. It’s one of hakalan’s scripted vases (search “scripted vase” in thingiverse.com) printed at 300mm (11.8″) tall. Other print info.: 0.20mm layer height MatterHacker gold PLA 40mm/sec. print speed 0.05mm jHead […]
