I had to go to a birthday party and as typical for me, decided that a hand-made gift would be more valuable. I got the idea from a different type of interlocking coasters I had seen a while ago. I drafted the 2D drawing in OnShape. The coasters were cut and engraved from 5mm thick…
I needed some doorknobs for my new apartment, and being a minion fan it was only natural. Found a 3D model somewhere online and split it, making space for the screw that will be used to secure the knobs to the door. The knobs were printed in eSUN ABS+, on glass plate, on my Tevo…
After seeing this article in Make Magazine, I ordered some lenses and got to work. The setup was very similar, however instead of using a flashlight, I installed a bright LED soldered to a USB cable, so you can easily power it. You essentially have a platform on which the lenses are mounted and where…
While out for a ride with a friend, the original handle unscrewed and fell out. I designed this replacement in OnShape. It features a M8 metal nut insert, which was enclosed in the print by pausing it at the right time. The handle was printed in eSUN ABS+ (one of my favorite filaments) on my…

I have been printing a lot lately. Mostly parts and molds needed for my Master’s Thesis, as well as gifts and such. Ever since I got my second 3D printer, I have been using a RaspberryPi running OctoPrint (which is just WONDERFUL!). For those that are not familiar with it, Octoprint is essentially a gcode…
(Note: The picture on the right shows the fins mounted directly onto the jaws of the Kuka youBot. This was just a preliminary test and we realized the importance of the scissor-like motion, since otherwise we could only grasp very small objects due to the short travel of the parallel fingers). I am starting…
