Live G+ Hangout and UpConverter case Giveaway!

Last night I tried my first YouTube live broadcast and it was amazing!  I got to spend an hour with a few subscribers/members of the mkme.org community and had a blast!

I learned a few things about my settings and hardware so I decided to try it again this coming Monday at 7:00 pm Eastern time.  During this broadcast I will do the draw for the 3D printed case giveaway live on the air- with a small surprise announcement.

hope you can join!  Post a comment on the event if you would like to join the hangout live on the air.  You can always watch the broadcast live on G+ or YouTube as well.
Here is the giveaway info if you haven’t entered already:

3D printer Parts

Recently I had anothere sever clog in the hot end of my Solidoodle 3D printer.  I have cleared these before but this one proceeded to “ooze”  ABS all around the extruder hot end.  Due to the fact that mine is still the original unit encased in a type of “cement”- this was going to be some fun to clear.  I opted for grabbing a new unit while I rebuild the old.

Cheers!

3D Printed Prosthesis Outperforms Commercial Unit

I ran across this video this week and had to share. This is exactly why I started the DIY robot arm with brain interface project. Mine is not suited for this application but the concept is the same. As makers and creators I think we have a unique perspective on certain things. With the advent of affordable and semi-reliable 3D printers- we now have the tools to quickly fabricate components in a matter of minutes- not weeks.

This is just pure cool:

Cheers!

Work on the InMoov Robot Arm

Did some work on the InMoov 3D printed robotic arm recently.  I had been meaning to get around to fixing a servo issue I have had since I initially assembled the arm.  Basically for my setup- I need to ensure all servos stop before their limits to avoid buring them out.

I concluded some time ago that this particular arm would not be suited for assembly into the entire robot build (which I’m not sure I will do yet).  The arm has a few pieces with strength and quality concerns so I decided I would use it exclusively for my DIY brain/robot interface project.  The arm and brain interface may work out well for a DIY medical recovery/training type tool or some other application.

Here is the video of my servo adjustment.  Some fingers have some travel issues but the adjustments in the code prevent any harm to the servos as a result.

Cheers!
