Shared On YouMagine – PIX-E Gif Camera by nickrbrewer

PIX E Gif Camera by nickrbrewer

Here’s a great Raspberry Pi GIF camera project created by Shayna and Nick Brewer. I’m a huge fan of this project and brought a couple of Nick’s units with me for World Maker Faire New York this year — check back for more animated gifs and experiments printing and assembling more rigs….

Shared On YouMagine — PIX-E Gif Camera by by PIX-E Gif Camera by nickrbrewer:

A fully customizable 3D printed camera that takes short gifs using a Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi Camera.

This is the PIX-E Gif Camera! My thought process was that I wanted to create a camera that recalled those days when disposable cameras were a thing. Anyone with intermediate making/printing/coding skills should be able to put this together pretty easily.

Print out the three pieces and follow the instructions on Make Community Projects! I’ve included the 123D Design file so feel free to modify the design to fit your needs.

Shared on YouMagine – 3D printed RC truck V3 by MrCrankyface

3D printed RC truck V3 by MrCrankyface

MrCrankyface shared a 3D-printed RC truck that has been 12 months in the making!

Shared On YouMagine — 3D printed RC truck V3 by MrCrankyface:

After roughly 12 months development, this is what has come of it!

It’s an almost fully printable RC truck with gearbox and AWD drivetrain.

  • Each differential works as a real one but you can replace the internals with
    “truckv3_axle_difflock” to have a locked diff with more grip.
  • It has two axles in the files, select the one you want.
    Axle1 has dual rear tyres, Axle2 has single rear tyres.
    Axle2 also has 2 choices in rims.
  • The frame can be printed in 2 or 4 pieces, depending on how big your print surface is.
  • Use the “split” files if you have a small printbed.

All you need to build this, besides a lot of filament, is screws/nuts, bearings and electronics.

This was a huge project to develop and upload so please let me know if anything is missing or unclear!

Assembly videos of most parts to aid you in building can be found on my youtube channel….

Shared on YouMagine – Penrose P2 tiles by Juan Gonzalez-Gomez

Penrose P2 tiles by Juan Gonzalez Gomez

Modular robotics researcher Juan Gonzalez-Gomez shared a parametric set of Penrose P2 tilings he created in FreeCAD. Check out the video of his research assistant, six year old daughter Alicia, testing the accuracy of his project below. 😉

Shared On YouMagine — Penrose P2 tiles by Juan Gonzalez-Gomez:

Only two Penrose tiles are needed for creating a non-periodic tiling. The tiles have been designed in Freecad, and they are parametric. Just open the Parameters spreadsheet (in freecad), change the parameters, generate the STL and print them. Examples of tiles with 30mm and 40mm side have been already generated and ready for printing and testing

The source code (Freecad) is available at this github repo.
Find more documentation (in Spanish) in this github wiki.
Have fun tiling the plane!

MEI BLUSTER by Oleg Osipov

These two Overwatch projects recently shared by Oleg Osipov are not just satisfying cosplay prop builds — bonus points for excellent use of incorporated electronics! — but this approach to stacking and part insertion is a master class for how to make impressive colorful pieces, one color at a time. Benefits from contrasting colors up against each other, and also a wider pool of community members can run these files on their equipment.

Vertical Axis Ugrinsky Wind Turbine VAWT by Robotobi

Here’s an excellent vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) project that caught our eye. The assembly video below helps to see how the piece is structured and how it functions. Created by Robotobi to interface with a work-in-progress low RPM Generator (at bottom).

Shared On YouMagine — Vertical Axis Ugrinsky Wind Turbine VAWT by Robotobi:

A beautiful, modified Ugrinsky wind turbine. Intended for balcony and low windspeed use. Designed for Ultimaker 2 with Olsson block or UM2+ (max build volume, big nozzle, high printspeed).

Shared on YouMagine – Wireframe Skull Pencil Holder (For The Love of Dog) by philnelson

Wireframe Skull Pencil Holder For The Love of Dog by philnelson

This hollow skull model has passed through so many iterations, designers, and purposes, but this version caught our eye from philnelson, who renders this historic archeological skull model in a pleasing gridded mesh — as a pencil holder.

What particularly stood out was how well the gridded cage presents the contours of the form, the pattern and density of the mesh suggesting finer details than those actually present in the source model from garygeo, remixed from macouno, derived from… scanned by … dug up by … you get the picture. 😉

Whether a well-tuned transformation process, or just luck with a well-ordered underlying geometry, the results here beats out “default settings” Voronoi exports you see frequently in desktop 3D printing. And soon, a print of this model will be on my desk!

Drawer Handles - set of 8

This simple sequence of drawer pulls from UltiArjan make excellent accessories or replacement knobs for cabinetry for a workshop parts storage solution. (Or a child’s bedroom!)

Shared On YouMagine — set of 8 handles by Arjan:

“Hole spacing is 128mm, like on some Ikea models. Use M4 x 30 bolts & nuts to mount. The nuts are a tight fit. I used a 0.6 nozzle and 0.2 layers. Ultimaker Orange PLA”

Shared on YouMagine – Periscope by ApacheXMD

Periscope byApacheXMD 01

Sometimes you don’t need anything that fancy out of your printer to produce what your really need in the moment. ApacheXMD started with a length of vinyl gutter downspout and two mirrors. By printing this single printed part twice: a hardy periscope! Want one that is (much) longer? Cut the downspout to taste (and for what you can carry without falling over).

Shared On YouMagine — Periscope by ApacheXMD:

This is a periscope made out of two printed parts, a vinyl downspout from the hardware store, and two mirrors from the craft store. Print 2 copies of the included .stl file… It’s up to you how long of a periscope you want to make….”

Shared On YouMagine — Simple Camera Slider by Daniel Norée

Simple Camera Slider by Daniel Norée

Daniel Norée, instigator behind the popular OpenR/C Project, shared a down-and-dirty camera slider that is outfitted with pockets for Lego motor mounts for LEGO Mindstorm camera automation!

Shared On YouMagine — Simple Camera Slider by Daniel Norée:

I needed a simple camera slider and so I made one. This is basically a quick´n dirty design done in Fusion 360. I´m sure there are tons of designs out there that are a lot better! Anyway, it designed for bronze bushings 16x10x16mm on two 10mm axles. The bushings will snap into place on the camera carriage and I use it like that. It´s possible to secure them using zip ties as well… I also made a pocket to fit a Lego motor to fit in the side brackets for motorized motion of the camera.

Shared On YouMagine – Tetrominoes (Tetris Pieces) by Brad Vaughan

Tetrominoes Tetris Pieces by Brad Vaughan

Brad Vaughan designed a set of tetromino blocks and trays, including a larger kid friendly set. (Get them addicted to Tetris-objects early!) But as he warns: “No guarantees on that though. Kids will be kids.”

Shared On YouMagine – Tetrominoes (Tetris Pieces) by Brad Vaughan:

Obviously what this world needs is MORE tetromino designs. This includes 2 different sizes, including a [potentially] baby safe 40mm version…. There’s even a holder for the smaller 10mm design that holds a ‘complete set’ of 2 of each design.

Below are the images he used to plan the two trays — two of the tiling solutions for the pattern of shapes. From Wikipedia.org:
