Click here for the video. This is a light switch with a capacitive proximity sensor. I couldn’t find any comprehensive source on the internet on running capacitive proximity sensors near AC current sources, so I wrote mine. It is 101 pages long and has everything you need to know. Hope you find it useful. (The Read more about Making of a Light Switch with a Capacitive Proximity Sensor[…]
Last year in UAA MakerClub (the club I founded 4 years ago to teach others in my school), Ege Özgül, our students and I worked on an alarm clock that can wake you up by increasing light. It had WiFi to set alarms from your phone. The top section (the Iceberg) is a giant button Read more about Alarm Light[…]
The dishwasher indicator. Sometimes, it is hard to determine if the cutlery inside the dishwasher is clean or not, especially if you are living with other people. Press the dishwasher indicator’s button to change the state of the indicator LEDs, once you started the dishwasher, once you realize it has ended, if you need to, Read more about Dishwasher Indicator[…]
Making PCB at home takes time even though it might be your quickest way. The method I used requires the uncovered copper to be dissolved inside the hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide mixture. That takes long; once I waited about 6 hours. This thing I have designed on a night, which I call “etcher”, Read more about PCB Etcher[…]
This was the first PCB board I made, from about 1.5 years ago using Altium. It is a light sensitive light. Darker it gets, brighter it will be. Notice the wording, don’t let it confuse the LDR(light dependent resistor) too, so make LDR and LED face opposite sides if you don’t want to create an Read more about 1.5 Years Ago: My First PCB[…]
I 3D designed it using @SolidWorks. I 3d printed and 3d scanned it using @makerbot.
This is a way to make mandatory literature class poster more scientific. Printed with ABS on @Makerbot I 3D designed it using @SolidWorks.
This is my first 3D printer @i3dbot . First time I started using it, I was a newbie in slicer settings. There were no explanations of settings and no good slicer was existing by that time for RepRaps, in 2013. My first successful print was the propeller in the darkest color. This year, I wanted to sell Read more about i3DBot Fix[…]
Known fact: The smoother one is from @Formlabs Form 2 (SLA technology). It really is better in quality, but when I need big parts, or when I need a part quickly, @MakerBot (FDM technology) is a better solution. FDM use filaments, which are usually cheaper. They create infill structures to make the part cost less. SLA uses resins, which Read more about SLA vs FDM Gears[…]
How about the edges and the weak vacuum of the vacuum cleaner? A 3D printed solution. I 3D designed it using @SolidWorks. I 3d printed it using @makerbot .
