A old cartridge based 3d printer was donated to the shop in near perfect condition. only problem was that it was so out of date that the system wasn't even close to what we have today. But the frame and body was build way overkill. solid aluminum structure with a steel body and belt driven system. Also it cost $70,000 when it was first purchased 15 years ago. But with a simple ramps board and a few tweaks it prints better then any commercial printer i have seen. The supports

Needed a silent compressor for light airbrushing in my apartment but any compressor i found is incredibly loud. Found instructions online to combine a fridge compressor and a tank from a damaged air compressor. Cut off switch and intake tube mounted sideways to make room for the plate. All the holes are marked out and drilled and test for height of hoses. Compressor itself had only copper tubes so had to find connectors that fit over these. Also left the current oil inside si

Been offline for a long time and renovation my apartment so I could be more organized in my projects. First up is the important project shelf. Thought of using simple cheap serving trays to keep my projects organized and easy to move around to a large table. Need to find a better picture but I took my large old shelf and removed the sections of shelving. Then layed them flat into the back of the shelf and screwed into them from the sides to add strength and a backing for the

Modifying a Nintendo game pad into a useful lamp using a Ikea desk lamp. take off the base of the lamp and it holds secure without any mods in the original joystick spot. nice old switch from hackspace. Drill out where ever you would like to mount it. I had a large capacity battery and just wired positive to switch and negative to lamp and twist a wire from each going to the battery charger. The wire location works great for the usb charger slot. lamp Completed and has been r

Repainting of my touchsmart laptop to look vintage. Brass paint and some wood veneer if possible. stripped down and removed the back cover and face plate very carefully. Forgot to take photos of this process but primed it and sprayed it with gold metallic paint. After its dry I just mix some dollar store black acrylic paint in water and dab it on with a rag and then dab it dry with another rag. Just repeat until its at a level your comfortable with. once its all dried hit it

I had originally build a mega prusa i3 but being so large the bed just shakes the table and produced horrible prints. I had found the same person that designed the prusa moved onto this larger more stable version. I am taking his design and changing it so its a swap with the parts to save money as well as this will make this printer incredibly large,stable,fast and hope to have a dual extrusion installed. As you can see with my printer it is very large but I have only tried

New build of a ipod in a box but with a polymer clay monster in the box. First off I used a piece of thin metal and traced out the ipod window and wheel then begun putting a thin layer of polymer clay around the outline. I added a larger amount where I was putting the eyes, and a rim around the wheel area as well little veins for fun. Roll a thin layer of clay for the eyeballs, bottom first. With the teeth push in and out to get the gum effect. After baking and glazing the te
