CAD Hardware Selection

I usually don’t include bolts and nuts in my CAD assemblies, but this was mostly do to not having CAD files for these things readily available. I decided to fix that and create nut and bolt sets: Metric Button Head:     https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3402872 Metric Socket Head:    https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3402887 Metric Nuts:         https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3402714 Each set contains *.STL, *.F3D and *.STP files and have been optimized for […]

RIDGID Oscillating Sander Wrench

  I love RIDGID’s Oscillating Edge/Belt Sander. Overall, it is a wonderful addition to my shop and has served me diligently since 2012. It sits on a mobile flip top cart that is shared by my plainer. Now, it is a beautifully useful tool, but the nut on the top of the spindle, the star shaped one that holds the […]

New Printrbot Plus V2 – Scrap Built

If you have followed, I tried adding a plastic extruder to my CNC Router. The results were less than desirable. Not horrible all of the time but terribly unreliable.

1911 Grips

I don’t currently own a 1911 but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate what can be done to customize them.

I tried setting up a grid […]

From reference photos and constraints of the required electronics I was able to generate some design files. The final piece was […]

Halo AR

I have to be honest upfront that I am not a big video game player and have only played Halo enough to do research on the gun. Seems like a cool game, just too many other hobbies to take up my time. I found the AR interesting as it is similar to the pulse rifle from Aliens in function and […]
