You've likely had a printer that didn't work and needed to be replaced or disposed of. However, it's not a big pile of plastic and metal heading straight for a dump. If you are a resourceful maker, an ...

That being said all, of the models in this build, have been revised to improve machinability and assembly. This is a great mini CNC lathe for the cost but, it has its limitations. Don't expect to take ...

Sometimes the simplest objects need some overthinking. This is exactly what [Chris Borge] realized when using his 3D scanner and finding that the included rotation table left quite a bit to be ...

In the realm of first-world problems, your cheap wall clock doesn’t keep time, so you have to keep setting it. The answer? Of course, you connect it to NTP and synchronize the clock with an ...

Simple library to drive a 4-phase stepper motor using simple Move(), AccelMove() and Disable() functions. Works well with 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and UNL2003 module. Focus is on controlling steppers ...

From a simple electronic toothbrush to complicated robotics systems, DC motors are present everywhere. In most of our previous Arduino projects, we have used these DC motors as actuators and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a motion control system using EtherCAT. The EtherCAT frame with an embedded motion profile is introduced. Additionally, a closed loop ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on studying the dynamic characteristics of stepper motors. Based on the relation of velocity and torque of stepper motors, a novel algorithm of velocity profile for ...

So, you’ve got a welder lying around and you’re thinking, ‘Could I actually turn this into a 3D printer?’ Well, it’s not ...
