Push/Barrel Counter, 3D Printed, STL Files Link
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.3 месяца назад
Small hand-held push-counter, single-digit. Contains just four 3D printed parts and a spring from a Bic Clic-Stic ink pen. Has more of a "squish" feel rather than a click. Made this back in 2020; been sitting on the shelf since. STL files located here: www.printables.com/model/827674-mechanical-push-counter
Mechanical 18-Hole Golf Scorecard & Adder, 3D Printed
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Here is my version of a mechanical scorer that records the strokes for an 18-hole round of golf. Automatically adds the total strokes for each of the front and back-nine. Each set of nine dials uses a sliding-keyed-push/pull-shaft that is rotated to set the desired stroke count. The shaft's linear position is held in place by a spring-loaded ball bearing resting in one of the according 10 dimpl...

Seven segment mechanical 12-hour clock, 3D printed. This clock is a single printed body with three sections representing minutes (ones & tens digit) and hours. Powered by a 9VDC source. Upon power on, the clock will auto-set each digit accordingly based on the RTC's current time. The hour display section uses a new design that consists of a 10-position, 12-state mechanism.

Just another version of a 7-segment mechanical display, 3D printed. This particular model is a sequential counter (0 - 9) that receives a linear input to cycle the display. The linear input is converted to a rotational motion before passing through a dual-spring ratcheting mechanism that serves two purposes: 1. Allow the return of the input plunger to the upper position without reversing the ca...
Arduino Player Piano, Part 2 - Design Details

Part 2 - Dives a bit deeper into the physical design and file format for playing music. The fundamental principle of this player system includes three stages for playing a note; strike, relax, & release: - STRIKE engages the solenoid at the specified volume (duty cycle). This volume is a product of the text file volume character and the volume multiplier (adjustable via the volume potentiometer...

The text file was manipulated in MS Excel and Word before ultimately returning to...
KNex Clock Update pre-2016 -- K'Nex Clock

The clock's exterior facade has been densified and strengthened. The clock's main movement has been redesigned resulting in the elimination of two gears. This gear elimination has allowed the main weight to lose one pound while keeping accuracy. The previous 5 volt motor has been replaced with a 12 volt silent worm gear motor. The user control panel now contains a chime silence knob as well as ...

    The only flaw in this design is having to glue the segments. I just built mine, and I practically need to punch the button to make it move, while yours moves absolutely effortlessly. I can only assume it's because I didn't glue some of my segments perfectly parallel, so they're binding.

    Great design, but I had issues :( Printed in PLA on Bambu X1C, all edges deburred, sanded slots for smooth movement. Checked cam positioning/reassembled 4 or 5 times and the cams just aren't pushing the segs out properly (either not enough 1, 3,4) and 7 doesn't work at all. Not sure what's going on.

    Hey! Flower 3d a year ago I successfully re-created an earlier version of your clock it looks about the same without an auto rewinder. (I’ll use snap circuits to make a switch) and currently does not have a chime (need bell) However, it is functional. I am planning on adding a day clock to the side and 3-D printing some gears! I would like to ask you though when will that new clock video come out? I was hoping to see it in its current state. That is all I have to say for now. Thanks, ATLAS (the K’NEX person)

    Very nice, a slight improvement would be to add 4 small posts for the first band to hook over, a rectangular format slightly inside the returned position. This would reduce the force on the top and bottom pieces as it would be more of a deflection than a stretch. But it's a wonderful model

    At first this looked pretty cool. Decided to build the dual one as a present to someone who teaches children with special needs - thought it could be used as a teaching a. After a week of tinkering I have come to an understanding that the biggest flaw of this design is the thickness of the followers and cams and too tight clearances between different cams. After several days and evenings of sanding and filing the parts the followers keep getting stuck or not actuating (slipping past the correct cam). If the cams and followers were thicker with bigger gaps between them, the assembly could have been more repeatable for everyone using different printers. I'm using Prusa Mk3s+ and found out that turning on the ironing for the cams and followers helped to make them really flat and with acceptable tolerantces. But still... I can't give this unusable counter away as a present unless I wan't spend the next year finetuning it.
