Do I #make things?

Yea

Recent Example: #MechanicalSystem for a hospital wing-->

My part-
I physically use a keyboard and mouse to tell a steel and #SheetMetal #fabrication shop what parts to build, how to build, how to assemble, and even where to drill the holes in concrete for the hangers to support said parts, all based on building program demands, which filter through an #Architecture firm, #Engineering firm, a General Contracting Firm, then to us, the Mechanical Contractor.
The space is existing.
We must coordinate as a #team.
We have deadlines.
I made some of the programs used in the process.
It gets c h @ o t ! c
The #making is a way of life at work and it keeps on burning after.
Time to #crochet my octopus.

#Happy420 Day! Den Tag zum Anlass genommen, habe ich heut ein weiteres Development Release meiner #CanGrow Firmware zusammengeschnürt und den v0.2 Entwicklungsstand in den Git main gemerged, da dieser nun voll funktionsfähig, wenn auch noch nicht feature complete, ist :)

Neben einer aktualisierten Readme im Git Projekt gibt es auch unter den Release pre-built Binaries zum direkten Upload auf euren #ESP :)

Ihr findet alles weitere hier: git.la10cy.net/DeltaLima/CanGr

A Veritable Aviary of Birds and Pollinators by The Paper Ark Are Small Enough to Perch on the Tip of a Finger via Colossal [Shared]

Nayan Shrimali and Venus Bird, of The Paper Ark, approach conservation and environmental activism on a tiny scale. The artists (previously) create miniature renditions of flora and fauna that harness the textured, buildable potentials of paper to showcase the beauty and singularity of threatened and endangered species.

The image features a small porcupine perched on a human fingertip. The porcupine is predominantly black with white-tipped quills, which are prominently displayed, creating a striking contrast. Its body is compact, with a rounded head and small, beady eyes. The quills are arranged in a fan-like pattern, radiating from the back and sides of the porcupine. The animal's face is turned slightly to the side, showcasing its small snout and the texture of its fur. The background is blurred, emphasizing the porcupine and the fingertip, which provides a sense of scale, highlighting the porcupine's diminutive size.

Hitchin Hackspace

We have had something of a hiatus with our #RepairCafe events run by #PlasticFreeHitchin and hosted at the #Hackspace. This was because of insurance issues... All sorted now. As there was a bit of a repair backlog our first event was invite only and held last Saturday with no pre publicity.

We had 23 items come to our "mini" repair cafe and a success rate (items either repaired or advised on how to repair) of 80%.

Hopefully we will be arranging another event very soon.

The open front door of the Hitchin Hackspace is in the centre of the image. The Hackspace is a single storey brick built building, a former public convenience. Just to the right of the door is a small square topped folding table with some handouts and flyers on it. To the right of the table is a "pop-up" banner about 2m tall with photos and information about the repair cafe events.
A mechanical typewriter in need of some tlc is stood on a workbench. It's outer casing has been removed and the person holding the machine is working on the carriage of the typewriter. Their fingers show signs that the typewriter may have had a nibble / resisted the efforts to fix it.
Another repair candidate, this time a sewing machine is being worked on. The lower bobbin compartment is open. The foot pedal is on the bench to the right in the foreground.
A general view of the inside of the Hackspace. On the left are pairs of tables next to the wall with repairers sat at the tables working on items. At a second pair of tables some visitors are watching a repair underway. Just behind them, on the right of the central gangway are the Hackspace 3d printers sat on their storage cupboards. In the background are the doors through in to the wood/metal workshop area of the Hackspace.

Hitchin Hackspace

Our next #HitchinHackspace weekly open evening is on Monday 24th February.

We will be open from 19:30 until 22:00 to give folks who may be interested in what we do, and what facilities we can provide, a chance to come and have a look round and meet some of our members.
All are welcome. If you have ever wondered what we did to convert a derelict toilet into a hackspace, or what a "hackspace" is for that matter, come and have a look around.
If you like to create, make or craft things why not pay us a visit?
We have tools and equipment that cover a wide range of hobbies, crafts and technologies: woodwork, metalwork, electronics, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, sewing, 3D printing.....
Free tea, coffee and a biscuit or two.🫖☕🍪🙂

Unser Webshop hat eröffnet! oskars.org/b/ Hier bekommst du Schilder mit deinem eigenen Text. Der Schildgenerator erzeugt dir eine Voransicht deines Schilds. Unsere Schilder mit Blindenschrift Braille und Profilschrift sind von Menschen mit Seheinschränkung oder Blindheit entwickelt worden. Begreifbare Zeichen laden zur Teilhabe ein und sorgen für Orientierung. #make #blind #inklusion

„Lässig“ und „Eröffnung“ steht in Braille und in Großbuchstaben einer taktilen Profilschrift auf zwei Schildern. Die Schilder aus Kunststoff befinden sich seitlich der Sitzfläche und Lehne einer Bank aus Eisen und Holz. Die Schrift ist weiß und der Schilduntergrund ist schwarz. Ein Betonsockel trägt die Bank. Im Hintergrund sind Geschäfte unscharf erkennbar.

Oh hey, someone shared a #make of one of my space probe models. The #Sputnik is a very popular one for downloads, so follow the link if you'd like to #3Dprint one of your own.

Latest guy got the antenna mounts backwards in his build but, he'll probably figure it out.

One of the builds someone did a few years ago was a very large version hanging from his office ceiling FTW.

ThingiverseSputnik on a Stand by ottarossThe historic Sputnik satellite, first human-made satellite in orbit, rendered here as a 3D-printer-friendly version. The focus here was to capture some of the finer details, and get a scale that allows that detail to be shown without ending up with a huge model. There are other Sputniks available on Thingiverse - give those a try too. This one was created from scratch purely from inspecting photos of the real thing. The antenna mounts are particularly true-to-form, and the size is small enough that it won't take over your whole desk.A big challenge with many spacecraft models is doing something practical with the antenna bits. What works nicely for me has been using straightened paper-clips, which are ubiquitous, and avoids the need to scale the body of the model up to a crazy size to allow 3D printing of very thin plastic pieces. For such a simple structure, getting the balance of size vs detail right is a bit of a challenge, but I hope you'll agree the trade-offs make for a nice model. There are TWO VERSIONS of the top section with the antenna mounts. One has manually added support bits you can break off and toss. The other has none, and leaves that for you to support as you please. A single peg holds the two body halves together.The stand assembles nicely for me - but use a bit of hot glue to secure any bits you wish. Still in progress - will try to tweak a little more as time allows.Check Out Some of my Other Space ProbesCassini probe to SaturnOSIRIS-REx probe to the asteroid BennuTESS - the exoplanet survey craft
