If your glaze is too thin, not much of it will stick to the cup. If it is too thick, you will get an extremely thick layer of glaze on your cup which is also not good. You will need some experimenting to make it just right. Don't ask me how I know this. My first glazing le...

How to get something 3D printed Further reading Share this page What is 3D printing? 3D printing is an additive technology used to manufacture parts. It is ‘additive’ in that it doesn’t require a block of material or a mold to manufacture physical objects, it simply stacks and fuses...

(Image credit: Thingiverse.com) The 3D Benchy model byCreativeToolsis a great first print that will help you dial in the settings on your 3D printer and also leave you with a fun tugboat model to show off! The Benchy model typically prints in about an hour and a half, and many of th...
This allows the computer to move the arm very precisely, performing the same movement over and over. The robot uses motion sensors to make sure it moves just the right amount. An industrial robot with six joints closely resembles a human arm — it has the equivalent of a shoulder, an ...
With everything in place, I tried to make a quick FT8 contact from home with this setup, but with my “big” EFHW antenna in my backyard. Because it was just a quick test, I did not even bother to hook up the charging cable for my phone (more on that later). ...
Just make sure there will be enough airflow, as doing something like that might restrict the airflow. If you are talking about actually attaching an AC unit to it though be careful as it will turn off and on so some components might be below ambient temp sometimes which could lead to ...
The NEMA 17 stepper motors take 200 steps for full rotation, but as we are using 16thstep resolution, that means we need to send 3200 steps to the driver in order to motor to make full 360 degrees rotation. In addition to that, for the first joint we have 20:1 speed reduction, which...
How to mount the VTX in the frame – most frames only have either 20x20mm or 30.5×30.5mm mounting for the VTX. However the Avatar VTX has 25.5×25.5mm holes, so you might need to get a 3D printed adapter like this:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5466198. Or you could just use...
