It's about 320mm cubed (1ft cubed). It's using 210mm, 230mm and 250mm 2020 Series Aluminum Extrusion but should be able to scale to anything (I think), you would just need to alter the Marlin configuration files and get longer rods, belts and a...

&nbsp;Running without the hubcaps may reduce the chances of losing a wheel nut, but will wear the wheel more where it's held by the wheel nut.I've test fit this for both plastic and aluminum hex wheel hubs. &nbsp;For aluminum hex wheel hubs, the fit...

Given the plastic escapement parts this remix was never meant to keep correct time, also it is very inefficient so the weight only keeps it working for a couple of hours. Therefore it is not a practical clock. I designed the 'Triaxial Quartz Movement...

For the dual module in the center one can use the "+1mm" magnet holder on the right side if there is too much play with the dual module between both profiles.Turn around the magnet holder and check if plastic debris is blocking the heat insert. If so...

It even got so hot that the plastic deformed.You can get the code for the Raspberry Pi on my GitHub page. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Power:For the power, we use a power supply, because &nbsp;the LEDs consume more energy than the...

Narrow computer fan screws (with blunt ends and very coarse threads made for cutting their own threads in plastic) 1cm-long and 3mm diameter would be ideal if you can find them (note that these are smaller than the most common...

(You may also use scraps of tissue or plastic to fill gaps left by the filler, if it shifts around a lot inside. I used marbles and a bit of paper towel smushed between them and the top when you screw it closed. Marbles aren’t necessarily the...
