The moving of Projects

by Philip McGaw

Since getting a job where I can do awesome things, and get paid for them, I am going to start putting more time and effort into keeping PhilipMcGaw.com updated. I have already uploaded and plan to keep up-to-date the write up of FACTs “Art [...]

Playing with 3D printers

by Skippy

Today I am sat with Nathaniel, working out how to get parts for my Tantillusup and running, I have downloaded the Mac pre compiled copy of kliment /Printrun, from koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/, (also needed Slicer for Mac). With both of these installed, when trying to load Nautilus Gears as a test, I get this error: To get [...]

Automatic Panoramic Head – Part 1: Press the button

by Skippy

According to Wikipedia: An intervalometer is a device which counts intervals of time. (Other names include interval meter and interval timer). Such devices commonly are used to signal, in accurate time intervals, the operation of some other device. For instance, an intervalometer might activate something every 30 seconds. In photography, intervalometers are used to trigger exposures. This is often done [...]

Solar Panels

by Skippy

A long while ago I met up with Amy, and James from nbLuckyDuck, and one of the things that was intresting is that for a large part of the year they are off-grid with using a 136W flexable solar panel so very rarely run the generator. there has been discussion about other cost breakdowns here, and a lively chat [...]

Task 82 – Build a 3D Printer

by Skippy

Sublime’s Tantillus 3D Printer looks like an interesting printer, I will have to ask Nathaniel to print me one when Sublime realises the part files. The things that draw me to this 3D printer are its compact size; its mostly printable; and easy to build (and I guess make replacement parts for ) The Specifications are as follows: Outer dimensions: 225mm [...]

Rules for Amazing Making

by Skippy

I came accross this post on Planet.Termisoc.org: 10 rules I follow when building something new. This is a list of rules I try and follow when ever I have to build, design or program something. Some are clearly inspired by things other people have said but they have been tweaked a little to meet my own [...]
