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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
A while ago I picked up these buttons for my Dr Who’s K-9 robot from AliExpress, Hobby Components have similar available online, The ones I purchased are SPDT with a 24 V DC incandescent bulb in them, regardless of the button colour they are all illuminated with a white incandescent […]
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 […]
I have started designing assembles in Fusion 360 using T-Slot, a lot of head scratching on how to make use of it at arbitrary lengths in my designs… I started by making a 20mm length of T-Slot as its own model in Fusion 360; This is model has all of […]
After having a go at assembling the ears printed in the [[blog:k9_nose_gun|last post]], I decided to have a go at making something a little easier to assemble. [[wiki:projects:k9:reference:mat_prentis|Mat Prentis]] assembled this guide that gave me the dimensions below: Heading into Fusion360 I generated the following model: [[tag:thinkl33t]] Sliced it and […]
I have been trying to design a K9 for 3D printing for a while, even using Fusion 360 getting the body design has been a stumbling block, On Facebook, there is a k-9 builders community and a link to a OneDrive account with 200 x 200 sliced STLs. I have […]
To avoid this joke in future, I have started printing my K9’s head by printing the two parts of the nose first:
