Cookiecad is a tool that allows you to create custom cookie cutters that can be printed in 3D. It’s an easy way to create personalized cookie cutters with your own designs. You can upload your own image, clipart or sketch drawn on paper into Cookiecad Designer and it will turn your 2D design into a…
3D printing is a cutting-edge technology that enables the creation of three-dimensional objects through a layer-by-layer process. This method of printing starts from a digital model file and uses bondable materials such as metal or plastic powders to produce the final product. The printed object can have any shape and geometric characteristics, making it a…
It solves the problem of pitch loss that can trouble 3D printers and which, especially in large printers that require many hours to print parts, can mean huge losses of time and money. In previous posts we presented a stepper motor driver, which we named MotorFish, whose special feature is to work in closed loop…
Controller with stepper motor feedback able to dynamically check the shaft positioning and prevent possible step losses. Who has never happened to launch a complex and long 3D print, maybe a job of hours or dozens of hours, to be absent and discover that, when the job was almost finished, the printer engines lost a…
While we can track cycling with Pelaton, running/walking with fitbit, some of the basic exercise such as push ups are still relatively hard to track. In this article, we are building a prototype of push up counter using kemet pyroelectric sensor and Arduino. More info
We see a lot of 3D printers here at Hackaday, but as over the years the 3D printer has moved from being an exciting item in its own right to being an everyday tool, it’s increasingly rare for us to feature a build of one as a project. It’s especially rare for us to…
In this project we will use an Arduino UNO board and some of discrete components to create this awesome effect of magnetic levitation. You will print the body with a 3D printer More info
Nerf guns can be a lot of fun, but what if you want your launcher to shoot 10 projectiles simultaneously? Is so, then look no further than James Bruton’s custom blaster. His 3D-printed project employs two BLDC-powered rollers to accelerate cartridges of 10 darts each, and allows for quick reloading via a clever manual…
Perler beads allow you to make fun designs by melting these tiny colored objects together, but why arrange them by hand when you can have a machine do it for you? That’s the idea behind this hack by YouTuber knezult11, where a non-working delta 3D printer is heavily modified to dispense beads instead of filament….
The additive construction industry continues to lay its foundation. This time, a home has been 3D printed in Patchogue, N.Y., by a Long Island-based startup looking to drop the cost and danger of construction significantly. To learn more about the firm, its technology and its plans, we spoke to Kirk Andersen, chief engineer for…
A new Raspberry Pi stepper motor and DC bonnet has being designed by Adafruit and is now available to purchase from their online store priced at $22.50. The Raspberry Pi bonnet can drive up to 4 DC or 2 stepper motors with full PWM speed control offering a great solution for robotics, DIY milling machines…
The new Snapmaker 2.0 is a modular 3-in-1 3D printer that doesn’t appear to have any downsides. It’s a well-made and capable 3D printer that also works as a laser cutter/engraver and CNC mill. Additionally, the kit is compatible with a variety of peripherals, some existing and some to come. The 3D printing module has…
