For those who follow my blog know that I have a 3D printer. Besides thinking up and creating everyday solutions with my 3D printer, I also like to draw 3D models. In this case the 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor. By drawing 3D models I learn “playfully” more and more. I sometimes made models in the past, …
For those who follow my blog know that I have a 3D printer. they also know I am thinking up and creating everyday solutions with my 3D printer. By drawing 3D models I learn “playfully” more and more. I sometimes made models in the past, which I later removed again, this is of course a shame. …
In my previous blogs I started a new project Raspberry Pi® – Powerunit® with a follow up about the software here. Hereafter I designed the PCB in KICAD here. It used to be, that buying PCB’s in hobby quantities, was expensive and filled with gotcha’s. Now, places like Seeed Studio can send your PCB’s to …

If you’re a maker, designer or an engineer, chances are you’ll need to make a custom worm wheel at some point. This might be a simple worm wheel to drive some gear for Higher torque output. With Autodesk® Fusion 360 software and a desktop 3D printer, you can create a custom Worm wheel. Worm Gear …
If you’re a maker, designer or an engineer, chances are you’ll need to make a custom enclosure at some point. This might be a simple container to keep small items organized or a fully functional prototype as I made here in the past. With Autodesk® Fusion 360 software and a desktop 3D printer, you can …
When you are starting with KiCad you will soon be searching if there is a option to add custom parts. KiCad has all common parts in it’s standard libraries, but it can’t hold all parts that are on the market. SnapEDA solved the KiCad libraries “problem”, SnapEDA is a free online CAD library for KiCad, …
In my previous blog I covered the hardware and software and part II here for my Raspberry Pi® – Powerunit® project. Now its time for the PCB Design. KiCad Although KiCad (pronounced ‘Kai-Cad’, not ‘Key-Cad’ like the thing that goes in a lock) is the new hotness when it comes to PCB design. The amazing growth …
In my previous blog here, I have figured out the basic hardware & software setup for my Powerunit® project. Now Its time to fine tune the Software for my Powerunit® .
