Mechpen

From tinkerlog.com 3 years ago in Blogs

This is Mechpen, my newest drawbot. The idea was to have a robot arm that could sketch on a rather large surface. It is a SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robot arm, meaning the robot has a shoulder and...

Building Fleet, part 1

From tinkerlog.com 5 years ago in Blogs

My projects are getting larger and larger lately. This time I’m trying to build a boat. A small wooden boat of 15 feet. I thought building a boat that you could actually use, that should be great fun. And of...

Galaga Arcade Cabinet

From tinkerlog.com 6 years ago in Blogs

This project has been on my to-do list like forever. Over the last years I acquired a couple of tools and now I have a somewhat decent workshop. The Raspi 3 is there and quite powerful enough to run MAME....

The Almost Useful Machine

From tinkerlog.com 6 years ago in Blogs

Four years ago I built The Almost Useless Machine, a tiny machine that tries to cut a wooden dowel. Here comes the second incarnation, a bit stronger and a bit more robust. There are quite some videos of home made...

Mach’s doch selbst!

From tinkerlog.com 6 years ago in Blogs

Last November I was part of a web documentary by arte.tv about makers and FabLabs and the like. It consists of 8 parts and deals with a couple of different aspects of the maker scene. Great work, thanks Adrien and...

Simple stool

From tinkerlog.com 6 years ago in Blogs

From time to time I enjoy simple and quick projects. It’s like taking a break from that other long running project. This simple stool took me around 4 hours to make. Best of all, it’ll never need to re-charge. Searching...

Paint Machine

From tinkerlog.com 7 years ago in Blogs

Thinking up robots and machines is one of my number one pleasures. Being able to realize them, tops everything. I added a couple of power tools to my small shop and as a result, my projects got bigger and more...

Minimalist Marble Machine

From tinkerlog.com 7 years ago in Blogs

I always loved watching marble machines, especially the creations of denha. These little machines are super cute and very well made. So a marble machine was on my todo list for a very long time. To start easy, I decided...

Halfbug

From tinkerlog.com 8 years ago in Blogs

Since I started playing with electronics, I dreamed of building my own robot. Not buying a kit, but making every part of it myself. It took quite a while, almost 11 months, not full time, of course, but on and...

Keychain made with ShapeOko

From tinkerlog.com 8 years ago in Blogs

A while ago I bought and assembled a ShapeOko 2. It took a while to get it running and I also done a few upgrades. The first project is a keychain for the new/old car of my friends and studio...

Boring bar tool holder

From tinkerlog.com 9 years ago in Blogs

Last July I bought a small used lathe. It’s a Proxxon SD 300, also known as Hobbymat MD65 or as PRAZI Saupe/Unitech SD-300. It can hold pieces up to 300mm in length and weighs about 45kg. Why a lathe you...

Raspberry Pi with RGB-Pixels and node.js

From tinkerlog.com 10 years ago in Blogs

This article is also available in Serbo-Croatian language by Vera Djuraskovic. Thanks Vera! For quite some time I had my Raspi lying around. And some RGB Pixels as well. So it was about time to bring them together. The last...
