In my previous posts, I got the dimensions for ISO 4017 Machine Screws and DIN 931 Bolts. In Autodesk Fusion 360 I have drawn the ISO 4017 screws, along with ISO 5032 hex nuts, ISO 7091 washers, and ISO 4762 Socket screws. I have not done the DIN 931 bolts, […]

ISO 4017 specifies the form of metric-sized hex head screws, and covers thread diameters from M1.6 up to and including M160.
When doing anything more mechanical with 3d Printing, you will want to use bolts and other fixings; This is where DIN 931 comes in!
Ian Hughes has done a lot of work on making a 3D-printable K9. Details of Doctor Who’s K-9 and other science-fiction models can be found on his Patreon page. I am currently working on printing the external parts for the main body, The parts are printed on our Prusa MK3 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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:
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
