PCB Dial Mod for Mechanical Watch

Some time ago when I looked for design inspiration for the binary wrist watch I did a lot of research and delved deep into the parts of internet home to watch enthusiasts. I came out mostly unharmed, but have now become fairly interested in watches as a hobby. In this project I will show you how I dissasembled an automatic mechanical watch and made a few daring modifications including a completely new dial. This truly was a project combining a lot of different disciplines as I started off with traditional watch making, which I combined with more cutting edge 3D printing, and PCB design, there’s even some good old sewing thrown into the mix.

Replacing machine parts with a 3D printed copy

I was recently tasked with fixing a washing machine using my 3D printer. This may certainly sound complicated, but was actually a small task. So the case was that I needed to make a replacement wheel for the lower drawer inside the washing machine. One of the original wheels had just disappeared so I was given one of the remaining wheels to make a copy. The original wheel on the left and the copy on the right.

Everyday Carry Sheet

Everyday I go out of the house I have some pre-determined items I’ll always want at hand. Mostly stuff for making my interactions with different technology a lot easier. My problem was that I sometimes change bags depending on how many books I’ll need that day. So while I was changing bags I still needed the same technology tools every day. That’s why I made a Everyday Carry Sheet! This is a plastic sheet with elastic bands meant to hold all the stuff I might want on hand in a day. Now it only takes two seconds to change bags while keeping all my stuff. Just pull out the sheet from one bag, and dump it in another! It also has the benefit of keeping my stuff more organized and using less space in my bag. Head on over to instructables to see how I made it!

Detailed Water Droplets from Spray Paint

The project I just made is a bit different as it involves no electronics, just paint. I used a technique to create really detailed water droplets from spray paint. The result looks really convincing so I’m pleased with how everything turned out! Intro at instructables: In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to spray paint these incredible detailed water droplets! It’s an incredible simple process to paint surfaces with these water droplets. You’re sure to amaze the people you show your painted things to!
