Description:

Most of my time has recently has been used creating and publishing models for 3D printing. At first I was publishing them on Thingiverse.com, but as the site has become more and more unstable, I have created my own site for publishing the models: 3D Prints at Electronsmith.com Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/new-3d-prints-website/ I m really bad about organizing my tools as I use them. I ll grab a tool from the place it lives, then just leave it where I last used it. Five minutes later I ll spend ten minutes trying to find where I left the tool. As I ve been re-organizing my shop I ve tried to actually plan Continue reading Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/how-to-not-lose-your-inkzall-marker/ One of the many mistakes I found that I made when I ordered my X-Carve was not taking advantage of Inventables pricing on a 1/4 shaft, 2-flute HSS spiral upcut bit for $10. This s a pretty good price on this bit and ordering it separately from Inventables will incur a shipping fee of $7.50.

Rather than try to locate small bags of hardware packed in bigger bags like most kits come with, I find that having them all in a bin Continue reading Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/x-carve-organizing-before-assembling/ Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/a-better-way-to-make-small-chain/ Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/x-carve-programming-the-arduino-uno/ Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/x-carve-finding-your-own-wiring-and-terminal-blocks/ For the 1000mm X-Carve, the wasteboard costs $128. I figured I could save most of that money by making my own. From what I figured I d need a 4 4 sheet of 3/4 MDF, which would be less than $20. Instead of using threaded inserts and special hold downs, I d cut Continue reading Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/x-carve-choosing-to-make-your-own-wasteboard/ One cool thing about Inventables is they let you customize the machine you are buying. For instance, if you have a bunch of NEMA 23 stepper motors lying around, you can remove them from your order and save yourself some money. So I started out by choosing the basic Continue reading Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/x-carve-my-configuration-as-ordered/ The weekend of Black Friday I took the plunge and purchased an X-Carve. They were having a promotion where you got $100 off the X-Carve and when you completed the purchase you got a $50 gift card to Inventables.com. It seems like Inventables has been giving away X-Carves to Continue reading Permanent link to this article: http://workshop.electronsmith.com/content/x-carve-series-preview/
