Arduino Mobile Lab 3.0

thingiverse

Numerous alterations were implemented in the mobile lab design post a year since version 2.0's release. The lab has been attached to tripods, carried in backpacks, and endured by teenagers learning Arduino fundamentals. Key features include an Altoid tin for housing electronic components, allowing easy creation of contained labs per container by the instructor (with a bonus love for Altoids). The Altoid tin is held securely with elastic bands and a sling, which can be removed and replaced swiftly. Wire management ensures that experiments stay in place when closed. Additionally, expansion options are available; add more side pieces to increase height (minimum of three). Version 3 of the mobile lab is now launched, with the Blender file available for further design tweaks. A video showcasing its functionality can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/qCXab0j_oVM. For those without a 3D printer, the product is also available for purchase on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/155078900/arduino-mobile-lab-30. Instructions for creating PLA spikes and rivets are available here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqNxYHWpYko, while the elastic cord (around 1.75mm round) used for the Altoid sled can be found at this Joann link: http://www.joann.com/dritz-round-cord-elastic/prd2904/.
