Graduation and Birthday Presents

I spent this quarter making two different things: a wooden sign thing with some designs and words on it for my sister’s graduation, a continuation of last quarter, and an epoxy birthday present. The epoxy thing is the picture below.

Making A Robot That Can Play The Piano

This is the robot that Jace and I made for robotics class. I split the time spent on this project between Makerspace and Robotics. We did most of the coding and stuff involving software during Robotics and did most of the actually building and…

PVC Pipe Instruments

Our music teacher would like us to make some PVC Pipe Instruments. https://makezine.com/projects/pvc-pipe-instrument/ provides a good introduction, as does https://frugalfun4boys.com/how-to-make-pvc-pipe-xylophone-instrument/ This should make for a good physics project–calibration of the length/frequency relationship would be nice challenge.

Keycap Project

In this project I am working on a keycap. A keycap is the top part of a key on a keyboard. Mine specifically is used on a mechanical keyboard. Originally, the I ordered the supplies for creating the mold which didn’t work out later…

3D Printing

This semester I don’t have a 3D printed product yet, but I have learned some basic graphics usage. square(size = [x, y], center = true/false); Scale([x/100, y/100, z/100]) circle(x); // circle(x, $fn = ); // d: the diameter of the circle $fa: the smallest…

Foosball Table

I spent the entirety of this year working on the Foosball Table. I didn’t get much done over this year but, this is a significant improvement from where we left off last year. We now have an actual table, albeit a barely functional table….

Mechanical Wings

I thought of this idea over the summer with my friends, because of a cosplay for a character we liked. I found some plans online and used the measurements from that, scaled up. I ended up using some scrap pieces from a two by…

Sword Thingy

So basically, what I’m working on is CNC’ing a wooden sword base, before sanding it down and adding a laser-cut cross guard. We do this by first carving out the general shape using the CNC machine. We then take the carving, and slowly sand…
