I found out that the black XPS plates I had left from my previous apartment which are used for sub flooring are perfect for cutting with a low energy laser. I created several things with this material which came out Read more…
OK, I cannot hold my enthusiasm. I recently discovered nylon filament which is beyond my expectation but is still a bit flexible, a bit too flexible for some applications. And now I created my first print with this nylon enforced Read more…
I have created a video about the 3D printer upgrade I have created a blog post about earlier. In this video I explain one of my latest designs which turns a Creality CR-10 printer into a multitool machine. With this Read more…
I decided to upgrade my Creality CR-10 printer and came across this cool laser head which can easily be added to this printer. There are four small neodymium magnets on the laser head that allow it to be attached to Read more…
Welcome to my brand new blog site which is aimed at 3D printing! I moved all blog posts from my Dutch freelancer website to this place because I came up with a much better name for international platforms like Thingiverse Read more…
I love listening to music while driving and I listen to a variety of genres. I decided to use several SD cards with different kind of genres but I could not find a good place in my car to put Read more…
I love woodworking and of course 3D printing. I have bought oak and mahogany filament to find out what I can do with it. It is so cool that you can create complex ‘wooden’ shapes which are otherwise impossible or Read more…
I got this card protector as a gift from my bank and I am very happy with it. However, I was not able to carry any bank notes with me and I am not comfortable putting the notes loose in Read more…
It makes sense that a 3D printed part should be visible in 3D! I will add a 3D view of every new downloadable 3D print so you are able to: orbit around the object; zoom in and out; explode the Read more…
This design is based on a toggle clamp and the difference is that the last part of the stroke is linear. As an example, this feature is useful for applications in which a probe must come in contact with a PCBA to test or program it. This is where I got the idea from. This design can be used like a normal toggle clamp because a fair amount of force can be applied at he end of the stroke and the clamp will hold just fine. I tried it with the kitchen scale and 3kg was not a problem but this was the maximum value of the scale.
