Here's the 3d printed housing and battery contacts completed. Was visiting my daughter a few weeks back and knew she could get the housing printed so I quickly whipped up a design in #freecad and sent it over to her.
The battery contacts are 1mm thick brass plate that I cut and filed to the correct shape based on a cardboard template. They turned out pretty nice looking.

Now I'm wondering: is there a collection of contraptions and levels built for @principia to play with it around like in #TheIncredibleMachine? Sort of a #RubeGoldbergMachine, but with #DIY set to make more such levels, you know... :ablobcatwave:
Ignore the dust. This is the unit bearing the front USB3 ports of my PC case, a CoolerMaster N400. When opening this, I thought I would find a circuit board that I can easily trace and solder. Nope. It's just a piece of black plastic held together by dark forces. The lower port is broken. It works if I bend it upwards with considerable force, but it doesn't stay like that. I assume it's a broken solder joint and there's still a PCB inside. I wonder if the plastic would be able to withstand 150°C or so for 10 minutes. Maybe I could try reflowing it with the case on? #Repair#USB#DIY#Electronics#Computer#PC
#DIY si votre #TV se met à changer de chaînes toute seule de manière intermittente, une petite manip vous évitera un forfait #réparation ou pire de la jeter :
Démontez le panneau arrière et localisez le connecteur qui relie le panneau de contrôle physique (marche arret, volume chaine). DEBRANCHEZ LE...et hop plus de problème. Y'a plus qu'à remettre toutes les vis.
Profitez en pour faire un coup de propre à la soufflette.
Matériel : 2 bras, un tournevis cruciforme ou deux selon les vis.
Not able to use a typical AC-powered fan, used a 12V car/truck radiator fan, a DC17-55V to DC12V adapter, and a PWM motor module as both a power switch and speed regulator, 4 14x20 inch MERV13 filters and some old 2x2s to build the frame.
It moves a LOT of air at full power (~120W), but very much on the noisy side!
I've started writing up my thoughts, design, and development thinking for an ESP32 based sort-of-educational pseudo-analog synth toy/hack/plaything meant to be used with a breadboard for extras.
I'm probably tempting fate by posting about it at this point, but I had several posts in draft so thought I'd hit "go" on them anyway.
When I get the actual boards back, if the posts all suddenly disappear, you'll know it was a bit of a disaster!
My spouse has a bunch of workshops coming this summer covering a lot of cool DIY sewing skills!
Patternmaking, design, and sewing classes for a bunch of skill and price levels! You should definitely come take some! Ruby is a great teacher and will help you look good and have fun doing it!
