A replacement part for a Renault Clio rear door - a plastic mount which the door handhold fixes on to. The offending broken part is also pictured.

I originally intended to print a mesh within the larger hole for the screw to bite into. However, these thin walls did not come out at all, so I ended up sticking a plasterboard plug in instead! We shall see if this works.

Any tips on printing thin walls much appreciated.

A little 190ml watering can for watering your houseplant / deskplant.
I haven't yet made or modelled this as I don't have a makerbot. yet.

UPDATE: On closer inspection, I shortened the length so that it can fit in the makerbot build space. A slightly less pleasing capacity of 190ml (was 200!).

Have added a couple of feet on the back edge so that it can hopefully be printed sitting on its back, longest side sitting vertically. These should be cut or grinded off once printed. Comments welcomed below.

Its a cribbage board layout, for engraving into a piece of wood.

In the last week in Dundee I managed to get round to doing something that has been plaguing me for about two years: a cribbage board from my friend Suzy. I had already drilled the holes and it took me a while to think up something to laser engrave. I eventually decided on a kind of 'field of shapes' thing given that the board was already punctuated by hundreds of circular holes.

It would have been much easier to engrave first, then drill but hey, sometimes things don't happen in the right order! I have put up the .svg for the layout however so that others can do it in the right order.

There is significance in the name of this cribbage board, but it might take you a while to realise..

The typeface I used is Cooper Black.

Niftymitter is an open source short range FM transmitter based on the open source hardware design by Tetsuo Kogawa.

Version 0.24 is designed to be housed within a ~1mm card body (shirt card), with a variety of options for hacking. The transmitter is tiny and handy for small scale radio broadcasts, building a distributed PA system for performances, linking your personal audio player to your car radio, or for general audio experimentation.

The new version solves many of the problems in v0.22/0.23:
* Full assembly instructions on instructables.
* Artwork/info added on housing.
* Stereo/mono conflict resolved - can now accommodate stereo and mono plugs.

KNOWN ISSUES IN v0.24:
* circuit box slides around when switching on/off or plugging in.
* PP3 power lead needs better access to battery tray.

The transmitter is tiny and handy for small scale radio broadcasts, building a distributed PA system for performances, linking your personal audio player to your car radio, or for general audio experimentation.

The new version solves many of the problems in v0.21 (See project website for v0.21):
* dimensions of net refined for better fit to battery and pcb, and sleeve.
* transmission seems to be fine on the whole.
* spacing and hole sizes fixed for components on PCB

v0.21 solved many of the issues of v0.1:
* a lot less bulky, more friendly on the pocket
* improved component layout, slimmer, more stable
* no nasty cable ties
* more accessible for those without laser cutting facilities - can be hand cut, or plotter cut.
* cardboard more resilient at joints than acrylic.

KNOWN ISSUES IN v0.22:
* circuit box part needs to be restrained within sleeve - fiddly when removing battery tray.
* PP3 power lead needs better access to battery tray.
* separate, powered, mic design required.

Niftymitter is an open source short range FM transmitter based on the open source hardware design by Tetsuo Kogawa.

Version 0.1 is designed to be housed within a 3mm acrylic or bamboo body, with a variety of options for hacking. The transmitter is tiny and handy for small scale radio broadcasts, building a distributed PA system for performances, linking your personal audio player to your car radio, or for general audio experimentation.

I am currently working on v0.21 which is a bit of a radical redesign, so v0.1 is posted for completeness.

ISSUES in v0.1:
- too bulky
- acrylic prone to failure at corners
- cable tie construction troublesome - not very secure, ends tend to catch on things.
