Just built my #UselessMachine by #DontEatPuzzles that I bought in the #NullSector night market at #EMFCamp. Just need to buy some AAA for it tomorrow

Der Junior und ich bauten eine #UselessMachine aus #lego mit dem #Spike. Die Schalter Konstruktion und der Deckel sind vom Junior, der Hebemechanismus und der "Finger" von mir. Das Programm 0 hab ich in #Python geschrieben, das Programm 1 der Junior in #Scratch.
Das volle Video kann ich hier nicht hochladen. 😮‍💨

@3dprinting box looks ready! Now will start to actually build & code it. #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

@3dprinting Small steps forward #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

@3dprinting pretend surprise: yesterday I’ve got clearance issues again. Next project I will have a better idea about it, I promise! #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

@3dprinting first cover in the previous hinge box test (ther are a little more clearance on the latest box), it's not that smooth moving in the whole range, so a little more clearance will probably fix the issue you don't see in this small clip #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

1st boards test fit, success in the first try! #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

Second test print of hinges V2 now with 2.2mm radius for the filament. I was able to get a filament there but it was hard, will go wider to make it easier: we want freedom of movement and there isn’t any right now. #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

First test print of hinges V2 in the box, just the relevant part #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

printability: hinges v1 are pretty, hinges v2 can print without support when vertical (I think) #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

Finally I will be able to print a first try, I'm sure some adjustments will still be needed, it's always hard to deal with tolerances and fitments #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

hinges added to the box #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

Searched for a lot of different hinge libraries for openscad, didn't found any which did exactly what I wanted. Result: did my own parametric hinges #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

Progress #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting

The most over-engineered not so useless machine of the planet (it will be a really small battery bank) #uselessmachine #arduino #openscad #3dprinting
