A lot has happened since the first post around the RoboTank project, This has been a fairly slow project that both myself and my friend Jono have been working on for an hour or two whenever we have had the time. Since the last the post we have written a whole new control layer which has […]
Improved inductive sensor support for Hictop Prusa i3
A while ago I modified a circular fan duct and mount created by mcleishn on thingiverse for my Hictop Prusa i3, it is actually my most popular design thus far. The modified version had an improved duct that was easier to print and a mount for an 12mm inductive sensor. I used this sensor for […]
Cable tidy clips
Just released two basic 12mm cable tidy clips I designed, Which I am now using to prevent my bundle of wires from my 3d printer’s control board to the extruder from getting in the way. These clips fix using M3 screws. Here are a couple of photos: One again I designed these using tinkercad, you can download the design here on […]
Yet an another filament guide
I today released the filament guide I have been using for a while on my Prusa i3 3d printer. It is a relativity simple design made with TinkerCad, which can be attached to the top of the printer with a standard M5 screw. The design is available here on Thingiverse. Enjoy!
Z Axis Support for the Hictop Prusa I3
This support was built for z-axis on my Hictop Prusa I3 Printer, It attaches to the top of the exciting motor mount using the three screw holes for the motor and holds the M8 smooth rod in place with a screw, which prevents it from being pulled upwards when the printer is moving. The finished version is available on […]
First look at my robotank
Lately I have been working towards building a robotics platform, I was very reluctant to spend a lot of time attempting to design something from scratch. After much internet searching I found a brilliant design entitled ‘prototank‘ by thingverse user timmiclark. My plan is to take this design and add cameras, sonar sensors and probably some kind […]
Circular fan duct for Prusa I3
I have been recently looking for a new fan duct for my Prusa i3 3d printer as I’ve found the stock one only pushes air in one direction. I was ideally looking for one that I could attach an inductive sensor to for one of my next attempts to improve the printer. An inductive sensor […]
3D Printing
I recently bought myself a reprap prusa i3 3d printer from a company called hictop. This was a build it yourself kit and the assembly process was needless to say interesting, the instructions were incredibly useful and detailed. However it lacked detailed English instructions and as such often during assembly I placed parts in the […]
My NAS
I recently purchased a ZYXEL 320 NAS (Network Attached Storage) instead of using a big power hungry file server. My overall opinion of it is really high, It is a great little device that hold two internal SATA drives and has an easy to use interface which is very perfect of any home user. However there […]
New website
I’ve finally released my new website, the content is quite minimal for the time being but I intend to add some more in the very near future. I went with a pretty colourful design sort of spacey as you can see below: I intend to add a portfolio with some of bigger stuff I’ve worked on […]
