OOMWOO’s mechanical design is not drawn from a blank sheet. It starts by researching ready-made parts that can’t be 3D printed (motors/sensors), capturing their dimensions, tearing down and reverse-engineering consumer vacuums to learn the state-of-the-art – and remaking that into…
Future home for OOMWOO open-source vacuum cleaner robot build instructions. Bring-up notes for the sourced motors, fans and sensors – connectors, pinouts and measured currents – are in hardware bring-up, and the CAD pipeline behind these parts is in how…
I’m building a robot that somewhat resembles R2D2 – a round body with a spinning semi-sphere head – NOT a clone for copyright reasons and deep respect to the filmmakers! The robot’s spinning head needs a large, thin bearing. I…
Here is how I made rubberized rollers for my omniwheel home robot. I’ve tried three or more overmolding techniques and concluded that applying urethane rubber overmolding to omniwheel rollers has produced – in my opinion – hands-down best performing and…
If you are reading this post, chances are you have some trouble scraping plastic – of even removing entire 3D-printed parts – off the build surface. There is a bit of a know-how to this chore – here is how…
Once you have made your airtight filament spool container – as described in this post – let’s take care of two more things: Pop quiz question – what type of desiccant are you going to use? Will it be the…
If you 3D-print PLA only, I don’t think you need a dryer. But if you print just about anything else – PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, TPU, polycarbonate and so on – keep reading! Most 3D printing filaments, except PLA, are…
If you print only PLA filament, I don’t think you need any of this “nonsense”. Otherwise, if you print just about everything else including PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, TPU, polycarbonate and so on – read on! Most 3d printing filaments,…
I use this mount for my Voron 2.4. This mount fits many common webcams – specifically, those webcams that have a horizontal tube-like hole in the back. Here are build instructions and 3MF/STL files. I have included the Autodesk Fusion…
When searching for a Voron 2.4 nozzle brush mod I noticed that the available mods stick up from the bed high enough to interfere with the extruder’s movement – when the extruder moves at the very back of the bed,…
