      I have a new Project where i am currently working on

      Bild Text

      Found an beautiful Loewe Opta Radio from 1969 (R154) from ebay for cheap money. It should work as an Bedroom Radio with an alarmclock and Internetradio. Also it should include an receiver for the audio of my bedroom beamer and audio output to extern speakers. Also i want standalone usability so it has to include an toucscreen. The original Buttons, which have an great oldschool feeling should also have fully functionality.

          This is an existing design that I modify to get rid of things a laser cutter can not make. Original design calls for dowels in certain spots (axles and such), I modify it to use the same flat sheet material. This’ll be a fun build

          And how this compares to the Front End Loader I made last year:

                As if I don’t already have a bunch of stuff on my plate, yesterday someone asked me to re-make this for them:
                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8PtwqRvVDU

                After calculating all 148 parts, it comes out to 135 hours of printing (24 hours a day, non-stop), $60 worth of material, about 175 meters of it. If I were to print it at high quality, it’s 190 hours of printing (24 hours a day, non-stop.)

                Then you need to add 20 minutes of cooling time between prints (the print bed has to cool down before you can remove the parts), set up time, the assumption that there will be not a single failed print job, assembly time, machine time, and that pesky electric bill.

                  The above post on Arcus … it’s being printed. Some of the pieces, when printed all at once, take 30+ hours.

                  In the mean time, this “rolled off of the assembly line” today:

                    I don’t have pictures but have been working on a PI radio for my car… I had to take the software and port it over from German to English… I did and a few other people are using it LOL Mine’s not ready yet…

                    Got a 3d printer to make some parts but I’m a contractor and working on this stuff in the summer is too hard… I’m too busy so it’s winter work… :)

                      so you designed, 3dprinted and built a one-hand-minirailgun driven by rubber bands? That’s crazy but awesome!

                        No I have not. The design is by that person in the video, Matthew Davis. I’m simply printing and assembling it for myself. I did however (re)designed the laser cut vehicle, laser cut, and assembled the thing. It’s sitting on my living room table right now, awaiting some minor changes.

                                    Well it would appear as though I’m also making a clock… yeah I said it… boring old clock LOL

                                    BUT I’m going to use an RPI Zero 1.3 and run a minimal run of MM2 on it using a 7" touchscreen… you know off/snooze thing ;)

                                    So I’ll keep you all informed… I just ordered a HubPiWi 1.3 :)

                                      Don’t expect Electron to run on that. It’s not compiled for that platform last I checked.

                                        Unfortunately, unless the garage door goes down, instead of up, telling Siri to ‘lower’ it doesn’t seem right.
