3D Printing Projects 201701 – Biki the Rubiks Cube Solving robot

Biki is a tweaked design based on O.T. Vinta’s Rubiks Cube solving robot. All constructed of 3D printed ABS minus some fasteners and motors. A significant change from the original was to make the legs in 3 pieces with print orientations to maximize the strength of the various parts. The carrying handle was also not part of the original design. The embossed embellishments were created in SolidWorks. Simplify3D was used to drive various build files for the FlashForge Creator and Rostock Max.

3D Printing Projects 201603 – Biscuit Gluing Brush

bobbiscutBob the woodworker has a special flexible brush for spreading glue but it couldn’t reach in the crack of a biscuit slot. We developed a two filament print using Tough Ink filament for the bristles and ABS for the handle. The bristles are about 1/8 inch wide and fit easily in the biscuit groove.The design was done using SolidWorks and Simplify3D makes the work flow of two headed printing streamlined. The part was printed on the FlashForge Creator.
