Maker News & Discussion / Caliper hack

Last post by Dave - July 02, 2019, 10:28:03 PM

This is an interesting hack on a set of cheaper calipers in order to upload the measurements from the calipers to the cloud using an esp32

It's not an easy project but if it's a functionality you need it may be worth it...

Classes, Courses and Resourses / CNC Course

Last post by Dave - July 02, 2019, 07:43:56 PM

This will be of particular interest to the Americans here, although it appears that this course is being recognized by individual companies throughout the world.

The material is all free, although it appears that you will eventually need access to a CNC machine. They do have groups around the world registered though so this may be a way to access the machines.

The course covers Fusion360 as well, using it as it's CAD(design) and CAM software.

Project threads / Thread cutting tool

I designed this as a little practice project for myself.

It is based on a 'This old Tony video'.

I've uploaded Fusion files here and they are on Grabcad as well.

General Discussion / Heat Gun

Last post by Dave - June 16, 2019, 07:40:09 PM

Got me a heat gun from the kids for fathers day.
It's one of Lidl's finest Parkside brand of tools.

2000w with 3 heat settings and an extension handle to use it to burn weeds.
It'll be handy for getting rid of the strings on my 3D prints especially as I use PETG a lot.

My apologies to anyone that missed us during the last 12 days.
The site expired and the renewal notice hit my spam folder instead of my main folder.

Everything is back up and running now and the forum is renewed for another year.

I am hoping to make some changes in the next few months so any suggestions will be appreciated.
