QuixoticgeekToday in the metal machine shop I was using a little used alloy called B E E C H... It's kinda similar to the O A K family of alloys... <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodWorking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WoodWorking</a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Machining</a>

MactonexPhase 2 of the wood store complete. It’s looking a bit like a temple at the moment. I was hoping to get the roof on today but last night I fucked my back up. And how did I do this? I bent down to push a button on my dehumidifier. I like getting old, I think I’m a much nicer person than I was 20 years ago, and I know myself much better - but the physical decline that comes with old age is shit. What I wouldn’t give for my 18 year old body with my 60 year old self. <a href="https://toot.community/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#allotment</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/GettingOld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GettingOld</a>

QuixoticgeekI wrote a blog post about building a small portable apartment scale workbench.

QuixoticgeekDid a round trip to the wood merchants. They didn't really have stock the right size for what I need. So I'm gonna need to do some work resawing and planing things to get what I need. But it should work. And yes. If course I took the bike trailer. <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>

Harmen ZijpKomende vrijdag is in Groningen voor de derde keer de Maker Meetup aan boord van Serendiep.De opzet is simpel: Heb je iets tofs gemaakt wat je wilt laten zien, een nieuw idee of half-af project waar je feedback of hulp bij zoekt, een epische mislukking die je wilt delen? Vanaf 20:00 staat het podium open voor korte presentaties en demonstraties. Vooraf stoken we de pizza-oven op.Laat ons graag even weten of je komt via info@kaalstaart.nl<a href="https://toot.community/tags/kaalstaart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kaalstaart</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hacking</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/fablab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fablab</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a>

It's like the filament doesn't unspool properly, and then jams, digging into the rest of the filament on the spool.

QuixoticgeekToday was a really good day. I 3d printed some jigs to make this project easier. I did the cuts on the mill. Remade a part on the lathe that I scrapped after getting my centre finding mixed up on the mill. Confirmed my design works using the 3d printed jig. Then used the mill to make some improvements to a previous project (collet chuck). 3d printed a load of parts for a makerspace community project. And started the lathe work on Next Project. Was a good day. <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>

QuixoticgeekTo test that everything works before I commit to wood. I printed up a test jig. It needed a little refinement to open up the bores (3d printing is not perfect for dimensions, esp of circles). But then. I could test fit everything.And it works.It works better than I ever dreamed it would. The bar in the image slides easily, but with just a quarter turn of the bolt. It locks on place. A quarter turn is all it takes. From free moving to locked. Now I need to buy the wood.<a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Machining</a>

QuixoticgeekAnd that's all the metal machining for this project done. It works! It bloody well works!!!Amazingly the jig I made to help manufacturer worked brilliantly.

Anthony HortonTrying out the Assembly workbench in FreeCAD 1.0 with a very simple example, a simplified model of this little geared motor for the bubble gun project.Yes, I could have just modelled this as a single solid object, but then the shaft wouldn't rotate!<a href="https://aus.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>

martinCurrently if I want to print custom cards for an RPG or board game I just use my home printer and a guillotine, and it's slow and inaccurate. Is there a way to automate this process short of getting a full die-cutting machine (like a cricut)? It seems like overkill just to cut out rectangles of paper.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/papercraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#papercraft</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/boardgamedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgamedesign</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/cricut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cricut</a>

QuixoticgeekAfter I finished work on my primary project yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of time left until the 3d print finished. So I decided to have a play with my new self made sensitive drilling attachment. Aim was to drill a 0.5mm hole in some brass. I achieved that with minimal breakage. I've just had a chance to test the hole with gauge pins. 500µm pin fits. 600µm doesn't git. I'm considering that a big win. <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Machining</a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>
