DIY 3D printer detailed overview
This video is a detailed overview of my DIY coreXY 3D printer. It is just over a year since I built it. Some things have changed since then, but most of the machine it the same. This is my first and only 3D printer, I use a few times a week, sometimes more often than that. The printer works very well, it produces high-quality parts while requiring very little maintenance.

Indoor robot reading signs using computer vision
Made a video of my indoor robot, reading and reacting to different sings using Raspberry Pi, camera and OpenCV. The Raspberry Pi sends data about which sign it is detecting using serial, then the Arduino controlling the robot reacts and performs different pre-programmed manoeuvres.

3D printing a custom lampshade
This video shows a custom lampshade I 3D printed using my homebuilt DIY CoreXY 3D printer. I printed it using “spiral vase mode”, also known as “spiralize outer contour” in Cura.
The STL files are available on Thingiverse: Here

Mini balancing robot obstacle avoidance
Made a new video of my small 3D printed self-balancing robot running a simple obstacle avoidance behaviour using two analog Sharp IR sensors.
Quadcopter FPV video – Autumn flight
Edited from a single flight with one of my 3D printed quadcopters with carbon fibre motor arms. Info about my 3D printed quadcopters here: 3D printed quadcopter page
Flying at my local RC flying club Gamen. The video is recorded with the Eken H9 action camera.
Mini balancing robot with TMC2100 on an inclined plane
Made a new video of my mini balancing robot. I am now using TMC2100 stepper motor drivers, which makes the robot very silent and also steadier. I have also returned the PID values and increased the loop speed slightly in the software. A new version of the code is available on the Mini balancing robot page.
Obstacle avoidance robot
This is my attempt at building a really good obstacle avoidance robot. The robot is built to drive around a normal indoor environment without getting stuck on stuff. The robot uses an Arduino Maga 2560 and several sonar sensors to detect obstacles.
This robot also has a Raspberry Pi and camera module, that will be used for computer vision experiments in the future.

Arduino based DIY clock
I made a simple DIY clock based on Arduino. It uses a RCT module with battery backup, and a serial 7-segment LED display. More information including code, schematic and STL file download are available here: Arduino clock page
