I have been a bit lax on my Makevember posts; these were just quick prints I lobbed on the 3D Printer: bathtub boat (visual benchy) Duplo train joint The Duplo Train Joints are for MiniBoyGeek, the other part will appear once I have printed the rest of it.

I missed a Makevember post yesterday, and the one for today is going to be quite virtual again… Last time I did a post on K-9’s Back it was to work out how to read the buttons, and to do a first draft of the CADing up for the 3D […]
Following on from my Makevember post yesterday, where I tried to make turbine blades, and Failed… I fed 6050 from SG6050 into Fusion 360 and this is what it gave me: SG6050 profile To check it wasnt it that was broken, I ran the script with the defult value of […]
Following on from my previous Makevember posts… This is another virtual post, I built the Wind Turbine Hub as designed by Daniel Davis, one of the changes I would like to make, is the methord of making the blades. It looks like Daniel has a background in Mechanical Engineering, and […]
Today’s Makevember There seems to be very little consensus on the arangement of the colours of the buttons on the back of K-9, K9 has a 4 x 3 array of buttons on his back, I am using this image Binary kitten got me from the k9 at the Doctor […]
As in my Q-Blade Post 1. I made reference to both HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) and VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbines), A standard VAWT design has been covered by the Ultimaker Blog: There are several other designs that are more novel. One of these novel approaches is the O-Wind, […]
I have been back in Fusion 360 designing parts for my wind turbine: These are parts of the hub, they are the bearings 3D printed to be the size of F 6902-2RS (15x28x7 mm) bearings that are commercially available, the printer settings have been edited slightly, so I still have […]
Another boat: I was trying to dial in a 3D printer, the blobs on the hull seem to be caused by buffer under-runs from the Raspberry Pi. In the last Makevember post, there were some strange shaped Duplo links, here they are in use:
After my previous attempts at cadding up air foils, that can be found here and here for #Makevember, I came across QBlade; According to Wikipedia: QBlade is an open source wind turbine calculation software, distributed under the GNU General Public License. The software is seamlessly integrated into XFOIL, an airfoil […]
A while back, I went on a Geek Walk to Bletchley Park, This time Tamarisk’s Uni Computing Society went for a Social. We didn’t catch up with them, but we went as a group anyway 🙂 Last time I thought it would be cool to make an Enigma Machine, this […]
After the print yesterday, I wanted to know what the 100% sized eyes would look like. Having also thought a bit more; I can think of a better way of constructing the head, so that is back to CAD for a re-design. The 100% eyes seem to have printed only […]
