How to Create a Large 3D Printed Artwork

Posted on 2021-12-30 by Lucky Resistor

I recently built a relatively large (100cm × 80cm) 3D printed artwork, which features a painted relief of mathematical functions. Read how I prepared the data, converted it into 3D printable tiles and converted them into printable gcode. All the images and previews are from the proof of concept I created. The final artwork is…

Project Update: New Stepper Motor Driver

Posted on 2021-03-27 by Lucky Resistor

In this short update, I will talk about the improved stepper driver for the pet-feeder device. While working on the sensor board, to see if the fill sensors work as expected, it also involved using the stepper motor. Here, I realised, the combination of stepper motor and driver I worked with is way too noisy…
