    Printing in 3D An Exhaust Flange

    I have been waylaid into 3D printing, not by choice, but by necessity. I’m building a Voron Trident 3D printer from a kit. Estimated time: 40 hours. I paid to have the 100-300 plastic parts required by the project printed by someone else since I did not already own a 3D printer.  It took 3…

    Voron Trident: 3D Model

    The above screenshot is a 3 dimensional (“3D”) model of the Voron Trident 3D printer that can be viewed in a web browser and manipulated with a mouse to rotate, zoom, and move the model in its space.  If you are viewing on a hand held device, e.g. a phone, then the model may take…

    LilyGO T-Beam SUPREME Case Comparison: Cost, Durability, and Field Practicality

    After surveying available case designs and materials, printing several variants, and comparing service-bureau options, I concluded that the Alley Cat case offers the best balance of durability, access, and discretion for real field use. While I specified nylon for my print, other materials such as ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) are also viable; the rest of…

  • A Face Plate For Decibel Monitor

    <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aircraft decibel monitoring project I am building has as its central component a printed circuit board (“PCB”) made by PCB Artists called <a href="https://pcbartists.com/product/i2c-decibel-sound-level-meter-module/">I2C Decibel Sound Level Meter Module</a> (“Decibel Monitor”). (I2C stands for the electronic circuitry protocol <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C">Inter-Integrated Circuit </a>(pronounced as “eye-squared-see” or “eye-two-see”).) </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the Decibel Monitor uses…
