Supercapacitors are among the coolest of so-called passive electronic components. Because they are ultra-high-capacity capacitors, they can function as batteries capable of being very rapidly charged and briefly powering many electronic circuits and even small motors with bursts of power. And they’ll endure many more charge-discharge cycles than conventional rechargeable batteries. They’re great as backup power […]
Maks Zolin wanted to build a better, faster printer that was also quieter. He set out building the Voron printer in his garage but he ended up deciding that he didn’t want to run a 3D printer company. So, he open sourced his work and invited others to collaborate with him. That’s how Voron Design […]
Manufacturer: Voxelab URL: https://www.voxelab3dp.com/product/aquila-d1-fdm-3d-printer Price: $399 Features The Voxelab D1 seems to be targeting the feature rich, reliable desktop workhouse demographic. They didn’t aim for a speed demon and the price is relatively cheap. With items like 25 point auto bed leveling, linear rails, and a 300c capable extruder, it certainly sounds like it should be able to […]
Here’s a classic skill-and-action game updated for you to make and play. You and your opponent each start your robot at the top of the playfield. Use the skewers to hang your bot in place. Ready, set, go! Race to remove and replace the skewers one by one to lower your bot down, down, down … […]
“Hangout & Nerdout” is a virtual community meetup series co-produced by Hackster and Make:. This monthly get-together brings members of both communities together to explore technology, innovation, and education.
The folks at Arduino have decided to shake things up a bit this year by moving Arduino Day to March 25th and doing an in person event! There will be both virtual sessions and a bunch of in-person events, the main one being at mHub Chicago with tours and talks. The crew at Arduino is […]
This project is a continuation of my quest to build a robotic clock that can write and rewrite the time continuously, day in and day out. My first attempt, Doodle Clock, was a failure due to the marker drying up. Doodle Clock #2 failed because the display — a kids’ magnetic drawing board — soon got […]
