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…
It automatically supplies meals to your pet at preset times, by providing the daily dose of cat kibble. Having a pet involves big responsibilities, first of all granting them food; unfortunately, a hectic lifestyle and imposed workhours do not go hand-in-hand with the needs of our four-legged friends, and surely anyone living on their…
3D printer to print objects of maximum size of 20 x 20 x 20 cm using ABS or PLA 3mm wires. Extremely fast and precise even in prints at higher speeds. Compatible with all free software and firmware RepRap, lets you create items in plastic of any kind. Made of aluminum profiles, easy to mount….
It is no longer a problem, nor it is expensive, to print big size items and terrain models: we showed you that by means of our new creation, the FDM 3D printer that our well-equipped readers will be able to create, thanks to the assembly kit. The machine is capable of manufacturing solid prints…
[bctt tweet=”New FDM (Fused deposition modeling) 3D printer capable to produce 40x40x40 cm (64,000 cm3) objects.” username=”OpenElectronics”] This printer has a building volume of 400 x 400 x 400 mm; it integrates all the functions of the 3Drag, including the “hackability”, that is typical of the Arduino-based controller. When we created our…
Create filaments for FDM printing of your choice, by yourself, thanks to this self buildable machine that gives new life to PLA, ABS and PET leftovers. Even if their price decisively fell in the last years, the precious filaments that we use in order to print 3D items via our 3Drag (and its…
We had a great year here at Open-Electronics.org, we thank you for staying with us! We would like to thank our followers one by one but, hey! You’re too many! Just an hint on the top 20 Countries that are following us: United States 364580 Netherlands 36273 India 172539 Australia 34614 Germany 83416 Indonesia 32716…
Let’s create a new evolution for our 3Drag printer, with a dual extruder for the printing of chocolate items of two types or colours. The 3Drag printer has been our answer to the growing need – on the part of the general public (a need that was already shown towards the RepRap project) –…
A perfect complement to open-electronics’ Drink Maker automatic drink “printer”, here it is the Arduino controlled whisky distillery! If you simply want to have a drink now and then, building your own automated distillery probably isn’t the easiest way to obtain alcohol. As shown in this Instructables post, however, it can be done. On the…
By making use Raspberry Pi, we created an easy to build 3D scanner to be used for the acquisition of three-dimensional models via a video camera and a laser 3D printing keeps on establishing itself, mostly thanks to the availability of more user-friendly 3D printers and price drops. Those who use a 3D…
Here we complete the overview of the free 3D modeling and editing software by creating modular models that can be assembled together. OpenSCAD is a free 3D modeling software whose strength is the capability of creating more “technical” rather than “artistic” objects, those requiring precise measurements, well-defined geometries and obtainable by repeating or replicating similar…
3D printing is being part of our lives and we’re probably getting used to the idea of doing it to innovate and improve our work, and why not, our daily existence. It is always worth to look at the reality and not at the illusion, but the data and the market are quite clear. They…
Open-Electronics.org is the brainchild of a world leader in hobby electronics Futura Group srl. Open-Electronics.org is devoted to support development, hacking and playing with electronics: we share exciting open projects and create amazing products!
Open-Electronics.org is not just a container of ideas: it is also a web site lead by a team of engineers and geeks who will take part in the discussions and give support.
Our mission is to become a reference Open Source hacking site with ideas and feedback aimed to enrich the community.
