| This week we have four pretty DIY 3D printing projects including Flamethrower, RC Lego, Low Cost 3D Printer MOD and Antenna Tracker.  Interesting 3D Printing Item # 1: 3D Printed Wrist Flamethrower If you have the dream of becoming a superhero or even just pyromaniac, this DIY 3D printing project is definitely for you. The brand, designed by Youtuber RCLifeOn, is a wrist flower that, in addition to being less complex, Still effective! Of course, before we go into this project, let's stress first! This is a flamethrower! Use caution when it may cause serious injury to yourself or others nearby. The wrist flame injector consists of three major 3D printing components: a flexible plastic glove (which is custom designed to fit RCLifeOn's hand), a hard plastic forearm shield (also custom fitted), and a butane canister Holder, sitting on forearm. As the manufacturer explained in the YouTube presentation, he did encounter some challenges in the design process because of the poor initial printability of the glove and the first butane tank holder, which was not strong enough to be assembled correctly.However, After some adjustments, these parts are printed and ready for the next step: electronic equipment. In addition to the Flame Jet 3D printing components, RCLifeOn also requires a battery, servo, ESC, Kanthal wire, receiver, transmitter, wires and connectors, a butane tank and a tube, Holder to the front of the glove. These components are installed behind the butane tank and are arranged in such a way that the ESC is connected to the battery and the receiver.The receiver is connected to the transmitter by itself and the transmitter receives input from the user and triggers the function of the device. When activated, the servomotor pushes the tank forward into its 3D printer housing, which releases the fuel forward through the metal tube.When the fuel reaches the end of the wrist, it is ignited by a heating coil of the Kanthal line (also controlled by the emitter) and Look: you're throwing a flame! Interesting DIY 3D Printing Item # 2: Remote Control 3D Printed LEGO Kart Readers will certainly be familiar with the huge 3D print LEGO Go-Kart that made Mantis Hacks a few months ago. Go-Kart is made entirely of 3D printed LEGO blocks that are magnified five times (comparable to Mantis Hacks' 3D printers) Since the introduction of the impressive brand, Mantis Hacker said he was asked if the 3D printed kart can turn into a remote control car. The answer is clearly yes. As the manufacturer explained, he not only added motor and remote control to the 3D printed LEGO kart but also recreated the original motor case (fivefold) made by LEGO in full LEGO style In a Youtube post, The manufacturer rotated the 3D-printed LEGO Go-Kart a bit and worked flawlessly after some unsuccessful attempts (some requiring glue and zippers to prevent it from falling off). Interesting DIY 3D Printing Project # 3: Easy Mod Turn Low Cost 3D Printers into PCB Laser Etching Systems If you are using a low-cost Cetus3D printer, the next 3D printing project may only be relevant, but worth a try! Youtube maker Marco Reps recently shared how he turned his entry-level Cetus 3D 3D printer into a potent PCB laser engraver. The results of a simple modification are pretty impressive.
The project started when Marco Reps started installing a heated print bed on his $ 300 Cetus3D printer.However, when he removed the bottom cover of the 3D printer, he noticed an unused transistor was connected to the machine Additional connectors on the printhead To find out what the mysterious transistor is, the manufacturer contacted the printer manufacturer and found that the part was for an accessory that could be controlled with G code. Surprisingly, the manufacturer changed his project completely, instead of installing a heated print bed, and he started to make the UV laser module for the printer. With this modification, Marco simply used the components in his hand, including A low-cost UV laser module, and a 3D printing carriage for the laser to hold it in place on the printhead. When testing new laser modules, Marco found that cheap mods actually produced some very accurate parts, including 0.2mm-etched PCBs. Although the result was not perfect, the manufacturer was impressed with the PCB he created Satisfied, some additional changes are being planned to improve its accuracy. Interesting DIY 3D Printing Project # 4: DIY AZ / EL Antenna Rotator & 3D Printing Section A German manufacturer, welcomed by the user name Tysonpower, released a tutorial to build a low-cost (less than € 150) antenna tracking device with the help of a 3D printing unit. The project was to find no load on his satellite antenna What happened after the antenna tracker. He explained: 'After some searching, I found the Satnogs Project and Tracker they developed. Then I started designing a spinner like Satnogs, but the stepping motor was getting bigger and bigger, smaller and smaller overall. The resulting device is a sturdy device consisting of a 2020 aluminum alloy extruded main frame, a shaft made of 38 mm diameter aluminum tubes, two ball bearings, a 3D printing adapter for aluminum tubes, 3D printing mounts. Tysonpower did encounter some difficulties with 3D printed parts because these brackets could not withstand the weight of a 1.2-meter dish, although he said the structure was suitable for smaller antennas such as Yagi and small dishes. He explained: 'I tested my DIY coordinate tracker on a 70 degree NOAA pass and it worked very well with my DIY very high frequency carbon Yagi.' As you can see in the video, there is another The steel bracket and a 50cm long aluminum tube are mounted on the elevation shaft. WXTrack controls everything and weight is not a problem. |
