ENGINEERABLE

Universal Time Lapse Setup This setup can be used with almost any printer that uses open-source software, like CURA. This video shows it being used on an Elegoo Neptune, but any printer that uses a slicer that allows code to be injected at each layer can be setup the same way. Klipper Time Lapse With Webcam A webcam is easy to use to create a timelapse, but the downside is that the quality will not be as good as a real camera like a DSLR.

This partially complete extruder is $141.54 on Aliexpress. It doesn't have a very large heater, so the throughput will be limited. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805862661545.html Uses this screw auger and heat brake. Sold on Aliexpress or eBay.

This L-track was specifically designed for van installation. It's made of T6 aluminum and has lighter weight profiles that can be better...

There are situations where it would be nice to have a self-cleaning GoPro lens like any time water or schmoo can splash on a GoPro camera...

The T1N Mercedes / Dodge / Freightliner Sprinter van dash air vents are notoriously horrible. I haven't bothered replacing the dash covers because I'm concerned that the new ones will break just as easily. I was searching for Android Auto options and came across this Sprinter Forums post where someone was showing their setup, and had interesting swivel vents. They said that they 3D printed the adapters for the swivel vents, and had to Dremel the vent out a little for it to fi

There are of course very expensive instruments available for measure the high g forces for impact testing. Most inexpensive accelerometers or inertial measurement units only measure up to 16G of acceleration. We had an application that required measuring 150G during a shock test. We wanted something simple, and preferably wireless (bluetooth). This article describes a simple method of how to calculate the G-force of a drop impact. The impact velocity is calculated from accele

I was thoroughly impressed by the build quality and print quality of the Elegoo Neptune 3 FDM 3D Printer. Winner of the Best Budget Printer of 2023 is well deserved. However it needed a lot of tightening of the belts and axis linear rail rollers during the initial assembly, which was not covered in the assembly instructions, would have been missed by a beginner with less experience and resulted in horrible print quality. So, the tightness of all belts and linear rail rollers

Drift trikes are either pedal powered or motorized (electric or gas). I have never seen a hybrid drift trike. I enjoy pedaling a drift trike for the exercise, but would like to kick in some electric power to get longer flat land drifts, and get a boost to help up the hills. Pedal power limits the duration of a drift on flat land, because there's a limit to the angle at which it becomes impossible to pedal. Electric drift trikes don't have pedals, which makes sense because the

I want to maintain easy access to the table and hand wheels (in reality, we never touch the hand wheels). A hybrid enclosure with hard panels on the back and below table level on the front and side. Add a frame around the top and sides. Heavy duty vinyl (or neoprene coated nylon) curtain wraps around the sides to the front. A solid lexan door for the front. Door is suspended from rails.

I'm documenting the process of owning a HAAS TM-1 CNC Milling Machine. What's it like to buy a used HAAS TM-1 CNC milling machine? How to move a HAAS TM-1. How to repair and fix problems that arise during use. How to upgrade the memory or use a DNC transfer device to load larger files. What kind of CAT40 tooling to buy, and where to buy it and find good deals? DISCLAIMER - Any and all of the info shown here is for entertainment purposes only. Do not attempt any modifications
