3D Printer Upgrades: Remote Command Center, Thermal Protection and More
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…
3D Printed Festo Fin Remix for Kuka youBot
(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…

3D Printing Filament Drybox
It is a well-known fact that some 3D printing filaments are hygroscopic (they absorb moisture from the air). For some (like ABS) this is noticeable but you can still produce usable prints. Nylons on the other hand become completely useless for printing after even just a few hours out in the open. Since I am…
My 3D Printers: Tevo Tarantula and Monoprice Maker Select v2.1
Tevo Tarantula (kit) I was tired of running to the HackRSpace and Makerspace all the time and knowing that I had to do a lot more 3D printing for my Master’s Thesis, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the very well-reviewed Tevo Tarantula 3D printer kit for about $200. Most of the 3D printers…

Leapmotion Sensor Table Mount
Another quick project I did for the Robotics Lab at Rutgers. This is a 3D printable table mount for a Leapmotion gesture-capture sensor. The parts were designed using OnShape.
