I can't guaranty a faultless project, so using the information is at one's own risk.
I bought a new toy :). A STEPCRAFT-2/D.840 construction kit to built a CNC milling machine. After a successful assembly of the mechanical parts I wanted to connect the GRBL MaXYposi board with the stepper driver board included with the kit. My struggling with this can be found here: GRBLing STEPCRAFT. The next step was the milling process. My succeeding with bCNC, Incscape and FreeCAD are other chapters of this topic. - GRBLing a Stepcraft milling machine - Calculating the feed rates - Milling with bCNC - Plotting, lasering, and milling with Inkscape |

Christmas 2013 I got a Felix 3.0 dual DIY Kit from felixprinters. I'm very happy with this printer (upgraded to Felix 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 4.1 duet3 ) because it produces accurate results. We also use three Felix 3.0 (upgraded to 4.1) in our Creative Lab in school. Simplify3D is my preferred software for 3D printing. - Pimping up the Felix 4.1 with a Duet3d motherboard - New Felix 3 with spare parts and a Duet3d motherboard - Printing more colours with one extruder - Octoprint on Raspberry Pi for Felixprinters |
My first bigger Python project was a program to generate this website without JavaScript or PHP. Python is a really cool programming language and especially with modules like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib or OpenCV. So here I will document some of my Python projects. - PYthon Simple HomePage CREATOR - Ping The Thing - OpenCV basics - Read an analogue gauge with OpenCV - Drawing with matplotlib - Weather station data (ecowitt) to MQTT |
FreeCAD is a cool software, to draw 3D objects. I use it for 3D printing and started also with the architecture workbench. Here I will document what I've learned. - FreeCAD Macro to create a 3d printable case with snap-on lid - FreeCAD Macro to draw stairs from a spreadsheet |
My first Nissan Leaf (2/2012) was one of the first electric cars in Luxembourg. It made over 100000 km in 10 years and I had no problems, and no costs with this car. In 2014 I build a logger for the Leaf. My second Leaf from 2018 runs also with no major problems. I had only an issue after 6 years with the cable lock, and you will find the hack for this problem here. - Leaf cable lock hack - LeafCANlog : "Logging Nissan Leaf" |
I love baking bread. Here are my first results with the reflow oven PUHUI T-962A. Finally lead-free soldering without stress :). |
