I recently came across a commercial rubber band gun, and decided to make my own. This is the (still untested) result. ]]> gadgetguydk Tue, 23 Mar 2010 06:31:20 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2046 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1739
Simply a shoe hanger for wet (or dry) shoes you don't want cluttering up the floor. I use these for drying my shoes (it's pretty snowy here in Denmark at the moment).

If you want to use these as a space saver in a closet, I included a hole to enable them to be stringed together (use thicker wood, they might get heavy with 5 or 6 pairs of boots adding up weight)... ]]> gadgetguydk Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:36:03 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1739 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1623
New in this version:
• Updated the drawings to make the servo arm lign up better with the switch
• Made a wooden board to build the electronics
• Made the box a bit better
• Implemented spacers to hold the microswitch.
• Made a parts list
• Used flat cable as the connecting wire for the flip switch to avoid multiple wires (or thick round wires). ]]> gadgetguydk Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:26:30 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1623 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1547
I haven't installed electronics yet (missing the servo), so don't ask me for videos of the thing in action just yet... ]]> gadgetguydk Fri, 08 Jan 2010 13:29:42 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1547 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1039
Okay, last one I promise! This one could be a cool christmas tree ornament in acrylic (maybe even layering 2 iterations? One on top of the other?). ]]> gadgetguydk Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:23:13 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1039 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1038
Make 49 of these and you'll see the repeating pattern of the Gosper Island (okay, you can actually do with 7, but 49 is much more fun!)... ]]> gadgetguydk Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:19:15 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1038 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1037
After the Hilbert curve from the other day, I got hooked on fractal curves. Expect more... ]]> gadgetguydk Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:22:14 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1037 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1026
A simple sphere with 5 planes in 2 directions... Hand made in illustrator.

Can anyone recommend me a tool (commercial or free, but I prefer free :-) that will allow me to make planar cuts through organic shapes to be able to build them via laser cutter? For instance plug-ins for Blender or likewise. And pardon me if it already exists in Blender, I've only just started kicking around in it...

Just thinking, there has to be an easier way than keeping track of 3 planes in my head and hand drawing everything in Illustrator? ]]> gadgetguydk Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:00:28 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1026 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1011
This is just a standard (but rather complex) Hilbert Curve, great for making pretty patterns.

...and yes, it is one continuous path. No funny businees making the laser run amok (like my first one :-) ]]> gadgetguydk Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:54:50 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1011 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:980
Saw the Eye-balled planetary gears by Gruen (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:161), and had a sudden flash back.

SPIROGRAPH!!

I haven't actually made this yet, but I'm pretty confident it will work. I realise there is already a Spirograph business card, but I needed something a little bigger... ]]> gadgetguydk Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:31:25 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:980 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:712
I saw IHeartRobotics Round Gauge and was shocked to find it was only made for the 3-axis CNC - so I made a version for Laser Cutters :-)

Since I couldn't open the original file, this is a remake of the original idea. Illustrator file included for those of you with strong hatred towards Cooper Black...

Taking care of two cats sooner or later involves some very nasty "sorting".

Sorting litter from poop normally involves some sort of cheap plastic scoop, but since the shops were closed before I realised I needed one, I quickly threw one together in Illustrator.

It's not very ergonomic, it's not very durable, but it takes 2 minutes to cut and fold and gets the job done.

This is version 2.0 scaled up about 20%... ]]> gadgetguydk Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:32:47 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:340
