This overengineered robotic clock will not be underappreciated
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Arduino Team — August 17th, 2021 Normally when an inexpensive wall clock stops ticking, you simply buy a new one. However, ‘Developer Hendrik’ decided to bring his broken clock back to life, or some semblance thereof, using a 3D-printed four-axis robot arm dubbed “Serworm Michael.” Under the control of a MKR 1010 WiFi and DYNAMIXEL MKR…… Continue reading This overengineered robotic clock will not be underappreciated
Holo Clock is a novel 3D-printed clock that tells time using a pair of rings
Reading Time: 2 minutes Arduino Team — August 10th, 2021 Simply looking at a traditional analog clock sitting on a wall somewhere got pretty boring for one Instructables user who goes by saulemmetquinn, which is partially why they wanted to create a novel design instead. Their device uses almost entirely 3D-printed components that come together to form the “Holo…… Continue reading Holo Clock is a novel 3D-printed clock that tells time using a pair of rings
James Bruton’s robot uses three ball-shaped wheels to move in any direction
Reading Time: 2 minutes James Bruton’s robot uses three ball-shaped wheels to move in any direction Arduino Team — June 5th, 2021 Wheeled robots normally have wheels that move in a single axis and steer by using either differential speeds or by pivoting some kind of guide wheel. However, this leads to some drawbacks, the most obvious being an…… Continue reading James Bruton’s robot uses three ball-shaped wheels to move in any direction
This 3D-printed tourbillon was modeled after Jacob & Co’s Twin Turbo Furious watch
Reading Time: 2 minutes This 3D-printed tourbillon was modeled after Jacob & Co’s Twin Turbo Furious watch Arduino Team — June 1st, 2021 It seems like everyone who has a substantial net worth carries around a few luxury watches, but none are perhaps as mechanically enthralling as the Twin Turbo Furious watch from Jacob & Co., which houses a…… Continue reading This 3D-printed tourbillon was modeled after Jacob & Co’s Twin Turbo Furious watch
Channel your inner Wolverine with these 3D-printed, muscle-controlled bionic claws
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Arduino Team — May 1st, 2021 In the fictional Marvel Universe, Wolverine has sets of claws that pop out of his hands as if they were natural parts of his body. While a seemingly fantastic concept, myoelectric sensors are able to pick up on muscle movements in order to illicit a response. YouTuber MERT Arduino…… Continue reading Channel your inner Wolverine with these 3D-printed, muscle-controlled bionic claws
This digital clock uses 24 Arduino-controlled analog faces
Reading Time: < 1 minutes This digital clock uses 24 Arduino-controlled analog faces Arduino Team — March 5th, 2021 After being inspired by a beautiful, if rather expensive timepiece, Ira Hart decided to make a 3D-printed clock with 24 analog faces that combine to form a single digital display. The overall device is controlled by a single Arduino Nano, which keeps…… Continue reading This digital clock uses 24 Arduino-controlled analog faces
Create a Nano 33 IoT-based filtration and flame detection system for your 3D printer
Reading Time: 2 minutes Create a Nano 33 IoT-based filtration and flame detection system for your 3D printer Arduino Team — January 8th, 2021 After welcoming a new child into the world, Mike Buss decided that his 3D printer needed a few safety enhancements. To address this issue, he added a clear chamber on top of his Ultimaker S3 with…… Continue reading Create a Nano 33 IoT-based filtration and flame detection system for your 3D printer
Making a mini 360° LiDAR for $40
Reading Time: 2 minutes Making a mini 360° LiDAR for $40 Arduino Team — December 21st, 2020 LiDAR (or “light detection and ranging”) sensors are all the rage these days, from their potential uses in autonomous vehicles, to their implementation on the iPhone 12. As cool as they are, these (traditionally) spinning sensors tend to be quite expensive, well…… Continue reading Making a mini 360° LiDAR for $40
The Stargate | The MagPi 101

Nicola King takes an interstellar trip in the latest issue of The MagPi Magazine. When Kristian Tysse began making some projects on his new 3D printer, he soon became aware that the…… Continue reading The Stargate | The MagPi 101
A fully-animated, Arduino-powered launchpad for the LEGO Saturn V model rocket
Reading Time: 2 minutes A fully-animated, Arduino-powered launchpad for the LEGO Saturn V model rocket Arduino Team — December 16th, 2020 Approximately 18 months ago, Mark Howe embarked on a journey to build an animatronic launchpad and gantry for a LEGO Saturn V model rocket. After approximately 1,000 hours of CAD work, hundreds of hours of 3D printing, and…… Continue reading A fully-animated, Arduino-powered launchpad for the LEGO Saturn V model rocket
3D-printed Super Mario star twinkles atop the tree
Reading Time: < 1 minutes 3D-printed Super Mario star twinkles atop the tree Arduino Team — December 11th, 2020 Christmas trees normally have a star on top, and Super Mario famously becomes invincible when he grabs the star power-up. Naturally, for retro game enthusiasts, these two are begging to be united. In this project, Doug Lenz (AKA “Freshanator”) did just…… Continue reading 3D-printed Super Mario star twinkles atop the tree
