Mini Desktop Conveyor

The intention of the conveyor is to demonstrate proof of concept; demonstrating my abilities in rapid prototyping (using additive manufacturing, fabrication, and design) while constantly looking for ways to improve functionality and diversity. My main goal is to create something showing practical and relative operations, targeting my employer's industry.

Most of the parts are from a remote control terrain vehicle found at a thrift store. I recycled what I could; using wheels and pulleys to visualize and then made rough renderings of them in SolidWorks, to continue my design process. While at this point I am still working on the drive-train and a motor mount, the chassis is made of aluminum. Currently mounted is an inductive PNP proximity sensor, limited by a 5-6 mm proximity.

After some time invested in other projects and school, I finally revisited and made a rough prototype leg mount, while redesigning parts from terrain vehicle and "printing" them via additive manuf…

The Photobooth

A photo booth holds this nostalgia even in a world where everyone has a high resolution camera in their pocket capable of 16MP photos, people are still amused by a photobooth. It's just, awesome!

We wanted to capture that feeling at our wedding and provide guests with a cool and fun way to leave memories and take something home with them at the end of the night. We looked around but everything was costly and bland looking, so I set off with the plan to make one and this a is blog post on how it started.

As a note: I would be lying if I didn't say that this project just flowed together so nicely. Everything just kind of happened with parts literally falling into my lap.

The build

I took an older HP Pavilion laptop with a touch screen that was donated to me and completely stripped it apart. This was a great machine to its owner and it is a perfect machine for this build with quad core processor and 8 GB of DDR3.

I was given an old brief case from my sister who has an eye for ol…

One week of lock picking

I am now about a week deep into lock picking, gaining a lot of great experience and insight along the way. After finding some great material online to learn more about the techniques and tools involved, I began the process with an affordable Lock Picking Set on Amazon.

Luoke Home Maintenance Emergency Open Set Included with the kit was an acrylic lock

The acrylic lock is an excellent added feature to the already inexpensive kit, giving you the opportunity to study the inner workings and served further while identifying what techniques were effective and why.

After playing with the acrylic lock for a while, I tried my hand at few inexpensive pad locks from various sources and determined that just about every common lock could be raked with a combination of picks and tension feathering.

I started to focus and develop the skill at single pin picking and began reworking the locks pin by pin trying to identify binding pins and setting them. This has come a long way in a few short days.

I ha…
