We have power back and will be open 10 to 4 on Saturday. Come and join us with your own project or a few of the things we have going on, welding, 3d scanner and the new Kossel 3D printer is online going head to head with the Leapfrog printer.

3D scanner?! I missed something!

I picked up a Kinect at a garage sale for $10 (yes ten dollars) so I've been tinkering with it to make a scanner. At the same sale I grabbed a $20 laptop with Win7 and have been using it with the Kinect to do scans. I'll be working on a turntable on Saturday with a motor I found on the shelves.

I was planning on swinging in today, but things just got too busy. Regular motor, or a stepper? If need be, there's a spare stepper from the printer conversion and I've got extra drivers laying around (makes controlling a stepper a snap!).

We found a speed control motor and driver in the boxes, something similar to this:

Hooked it all up and no workie but taking a look at the driver insides there are a couple of fuses solder in that maybe the problem.
We are going to make a turntable that can support a person and yet be somewhat compact. We have the lazy susan bearings, either this motor or a motor from an electric shopping cart and a box of miscellaneous pulleys so it's mostly building a form to fit our function. Since the laptop is to high performance the spin rate needs to be pretty low.
Not sure if we'll be open on Wed. with T-Day and all and David is out of town for a week so probably not the weekend either. Unless we can get a few people to come in.

Closed for the next week according to the announcements, so guess I'll see it in December.
