Improved Spline Jig

Posted on May 18, 2020 by robertwilkie

I think I showed the original one a few months back. Well the author went back on the build and made a better version of it. It looks nice.

Posted on May 17, 2020 by robertwilkie

I have seen a couple of different versions of this one. Not so sure how comfortable this is, or how porious a 3D printed object could be….

3D print your own frame for a face visor

Posted on May 16, 2020 by robertwilkie

Nice write up on how to setup the Prusa face visor (uses a transparency). Unfortunately the table on my printer is a touch too small for this one.

Interesting Miter station

Posted on May 15, 2020 by robertwilkie

I like some aspects of this, but why have a block to make angles when the miter can do that itself? Either way an interesting build.

Make your own carbon filters

Posted on May 15, 2020 by robertwilkie

I have this on my list to make. I own a 3M Respirator and right now replacement filters are expensive. Of course same issue with other 3D printed items, particles could still get inside thru the print. But it could be a good temp replacement.

Make a Wuhan Hook

Posted on May 15, 2020 by robertwilkie

This is too funny, basically its a door opener (for doors with latch handles). Once you open the door, you hit the lighter to burn up an possible contaminates. The base is 3D printed.

Another metal etcher build

Posted on May 14, 2020 by robertwilkie

The author uses the car charger like others, but one difference, he uses cotton balls instead of q-tips to get the job done faster.

3D printed Ventilator Valve

Interesting build. I could see doing this for a custom water pump in the future.

Nice drill press depth stop

Posted on May 13, 2020 by robertwilkie

I have the same problem as the author where my drill press does not have a normal depth stop. This is a nice build overall and I plan to make something like it for my drill press.

Mini router sled

Posted on May 12, 2020 by robertwilkie

The author uses a trimmer router and a small sled to plane down small pieces of wood. Good idea overall. However the vaccum hold down he uses is pretty expensive for the build.
