Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 case – 3D printed

The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 it’s a nice and cheap phone. Sadly, this chinese device it’s barely going outside china as yet, which means that most accessories design for it are scarce if not nonexistent in retail stores. DOWNLOADTHINGIVERSE Phone cases are individually designed for each manufacturer and model, but a simple measure and design process may allow you to create costum parts for any device.  This case was designed to offer protection and easy use to the phone, note that… Read More »Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 case – 3D printed

Dynamic 3D Printed Market and Eraser tool for industrial robot

This industrial robot tool uses an assembly of printed parts, springs and a common marker to paint on any surface with the precision expected on a industrial robot tool.  DOWNLOAD    THINGIVERSE The body uses common whiteboard marker (about 20 mm in diameter or less) and requires a spring to ensure that the point of the marker sticks out of the tool, this gives the tool a constant contact force and good drawn paths. The eraser plate uses common pen springs (retractable… Read More »Dynamic 3D Printed Market and Eraser tool for industrial robot

3D printed 9 mm Chamber Safety Flag for Glock handgun

Even if a gun doesn’t have a magazine it could still have a bullet in the chamber and it is potentially dangerous, there is no indication in most guns to check if there is a live round on the gun, the user must then operate the gun in order to make sure is safe. Remember to always perform multiple safety checks on any gun you need to handle. A Chamber Safety Flag is a tool which indicates that a weapon… Read More »3D printed 9 mm Chamber Safety Flag for Glock handgun

Arduino RF module thumbnail

Arduino with RF module, custom data transmission.

Some usual RF devices are those digital modules where a button or command generates an digital output on the receptor, this limits the amount of control that can be generated on the receptor to a few “channels”. In most cases some “complex” custom comunication is required, where the RF modules need to handle any type and size of information the process require. In this case an Arduino board connected to a RF transmitter that send the strings it recives via… Read More »Arduino with RF module, custom data transmission.
