prusaprinters

<p>This is a DIY project requiring some electronics, soldering, Arduino IDE and basic knowledge uploading code to a compatible board</p> <p>You can follow all the relevant step by step on my blog page here: <a href="http://www.candco.com.au/2019/03/10/diy-vertical-or-horizontal-blinds-automation-project/">http://www.candco.com.au/2019/03/10/diy-vertical-or-horizontal-blinds-automation-project/</a></p> <p>You will require to source the following components:</p> <p>5V Stepper Motor 28BYJ-48 With Drive Test Module Board ULN2003<br/> WiFi Nodemcu CP2102 Development Board 2.4GHz<br/> M2.5 Counter sunk screws x8<br/> M4 Steel Hex Head Cup Point Grub screw x2<br/> 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC power plug<br/> 5v Power Supply with a 2.1mm DC plug<br/> Total cost of build should be no more than $20-$25 AUD.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I have designed the base such that it can be printed, upright and without supports but that probably requires some level of 3D printing experience. The only component that I would print with supports is the chain cog. That is because of the dimples on the inside. Also you should print it on its largest flat surface. The top and bottom lid should be printed on their flat surfaces.</p> <p>I used 3DFillies White PLA+, sliced with Prusa Slic3r at 0.15 layer height and 15% infill.</p>
