Bradley Rigdon who owns Print To 3D shows us how he can print a cool bearing with his 3D printer. This printer is a bit different than the Makerbot that we have featured here before. His Dimension 3D printer uses uses 2 types of material, one that makes the structure of the item and a second material that can be dissolved after the model has been printed. See the videos
You think the guitar you own is high tech? Well does it have a 500MHz processor? Can you even SSH into it? I thought not. This MISA – Touch Pad Digital Guitar is packed with tons of technology but thankfully it outputs MIDI so you can just jack it into your existing gear and jam away. Thanks Michael “The guitar itself is CNC machined out of solid ABS plastic. This
This NicoletoMK Mikrokopter Quadrocopter is not your department store variety flying toy. This 4 blade Quadrocopter is powerful enough to lift a 500 gram payload, this means camcorders, cameras or water balloons are fare game for this machine. It can be flown by an operator or run in autonomous mode which would make it great as an automated surveillance system. There is a video of the unit in operation here
What does it take to pimp out a Range Rover Sport into a limo? A little more than a paint and polish that’s for sure! Have a look at some of the build pictures that Midlands Limos sent in below for an idea of how invasive the process is. Next time I ‘m in the UK I will have to have a ride in this limo!
We mentioned before that Fletchtronics will be building a bunch of Bumble Bs and sharing the process with us. Well the creation of the devices are done and the videos are finished. Watch them for some tiny surface mount techniques. I haven’t played with a Bumble B before but we have featured a project that was built with the $17 controller. What is a Bumble B you may ask, here
Our friends are back at it, the Suzuki Electric Bike project wasn’t a big enough challenge I guess. 🙂 The new project is the Dune Bug E which is a Dune Buggy Electric Conversion. By the looks of the tear down there won’t be one bolt on the donor vehicle that will be left untouched.
If a small pipe CNC machine can be made why not scale it up and make a huge one. I have never seen a large CNC machine made with this configuration. I am real curious to see what it is like when bluefacedthief completes it.
