    Yeah, have you seen the size of those? Those are chem lasers in order to get the wattage needed to destroy something.

    Plus you need the electronics/mechanics to track the device perfectly to keep the laser on target in order for it to do damage.

    All completely unnecessary to drop a small drone out of the sky.

    WTF, how can they just make a change like that, and it get approved to be on the road?

    Youtube comment,

    Tesla that crashed into a pole, it was on fire, and the driver was trapped behind the laminated glass. Scary situation.

    The first in crew that responded had a firefighter try to break the glass with a conventional window punch device, that didn't work.

    Then he tried smashing it with some forcible entry tools, that didn't work either.

    The driver ended up dying. It took 45 mins to extinguish the flames and 15 mins to get the car doors open.

    Nah, lasers too big. It would be a simple birdshot shotgun. Its detection and aiming.

    When they are high up, they can be hard to spot and hear.
    But a pair of sensitive mic's and a camera designed to look for them could easily be paired with some AR glasses.

    Not my problem nVidia was the only one to invest in the tech, while AMD relied solely on TSMC to shrink their dies.

    You want your economy to do well? Then make fair laws that attract educated people instead of pushing them away,

    Under Desk Drawer by GodardScientific
    www.thingiverse.com

    Alright this project is growing.. needs a new description. I recommend printing the drawers laying bottom down with tree supports, or on their back. Either way should work, but bottom down will use less support material. To free the pins in the back after printing, place your fingers behind the pin and give it a few sharp taps with something solid, back of a screw driver worked for me. -The chassis print best on their back. You can fit everything onto one 250 cubed build plate as shown. If you are working with a printer with less than a 250 cubed plate, try the Slim Stack or the Split Body, they both will happily print on a machine as small as 200. From left to right in the top of the photo, we have the Big Double (Big Double file and print two Big Double Drawers) Slim Double (Slim Double, print two Slim Double Drawers) Slim Single (Slim Single file and Slim Single Drawer) Big Single (Big Single file and Big Single Drawer) Slim Triple (Slim Triple file, two Slim Double Drawers and one Slim Single Drawer) Not shown is the Split Body, which for now is just the Slim Triple. Also the Slim Stack, which is two Slim Double drawers on top of each other. To assemble the Split, print the Split Chassis L & R, the Split Bottom Drawer L&R the Drawer Tie, and TWO of the Body Ties. I recommend using your favorite relatively thin glue to adhere everything together, then print two Slim Single drawers to fill in the top. I am working on a detailed PDF like my Club and Store models have for this project, to provide more detailed instructions on printing, running through settings and assembly. Its just taking a while, as the project grows so do the instructions. v1.1 01-08-2024; Chassis modified to be printed more reliably v1.15 01-10-2024; Drawer pulls modified to print with less support if in horizontal orientation and no support if in vertical orientation Buy me a coffee :)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/godsci Patreon:(project videos, commercial salable files, upcoming projects, requests)https://www.patreon.com/GodardScientific

    Universal cordless Drill Holder/Mount (Makita, DeWalt, Bosch, Festool ...) by kerngebiet

    Universal holder for any cordless drills and tools. I used it mainly for Makita, but other power tools should fit as well of course. The following Makita tools have been tested so far in the 40mm version: Makita DTD171 Makita DDF484 Makita DDF484B Makita DHP484 Makita DDF459 Makita DHP481 Makita DTW300 Makita DTW302 Makita DHG180 Makita DHG181 Festool T18+3 Milwaukee 2553 M12 Fuel \*\* Milwaukee 2504 M12 Fuel \*\* DeWalt DCE530 \*\* DeWalt DCD771 \*\* (seems also to fit in 35mm) DeWalt DCF887 \*\* (seems also to fit in 35mm) DeWalt DCF885 \*\* (seems also to fit in 35mm) DeWalt DCD985 \*\* Surebonder Ultra DT-3100FAMZS \*\* Porter Cable PCC601 Porter Cable PCC641 The 35mm version fits good for: Makita DDF487 Makita DHP487 DeWalt DCD778 \*\* The wide version fits: Makita DWT700 \*\* Makita DWT701 \*\* Ryobi PBLIW01 \*\* Smaller tools will probably better fit in the smaller holder with a 35mm cut-out. If someone needs a different measurement, feel free to leave a comment, I'll see if I can implement this. Printing Very easy, no supports needed if printed standing. I used PETG for my prints and three walls with 20% infill. This is very solid. If you want, you can print it with 100% infill and get it even stiffer. But you will need \~220g of filament for this. ;) Update 04.05.2023 I've added another design for the holder, based on the idea of @mnemic. I has the same sizes as the other, but saves even more filament. Update 06.10.2023 I've added a wider version of the holder, for Tools like the DWT700 or DWT701. This version is identical to the 40mm default version. Only difference is, that that the inner width is 81mm instead of 70mm. \*\* = Information from users who printed the models.

    Smartphone Tripod Adapter by ThreeD-Michael
    www.thingiverse.com

    Update 2023-11-27: This thing is Version 1 of my adaper. I have now designed Version 2, with the following improvements: the smartphone's center of gravity is now directly above the mounting screw, which gives the tripod a more secure stand, The tripod adapter is now even more compact and lighter. You can download this new version 2 for free here or here. Summary (Version 1) This compact tripod mount can hold almost all smartphones with its clamping range of 64 to 84 mm. It can easily be printed as a single part (“print-in-place”). No other components are required other than a rubber band. For smartphones with slippery sides without a case, self-adhesive silicone bumpers can optionally be glued in. Printing Instructions: Use a 0.4mm line with a layer height of 0.2mm. Print the object in the specified orientation. If possible, place the Z-seam as shown in the image above. There are two print files, with 0.3mm clearance and with 0.25mm clearance ("...tight-fit"). If your printer prints precisely, I would use the latter. Assembly Instructions: Before using the adapter, the assembly of one or two rubber bands is required. Using two rubber bands instead of a single one can increase safety. Smartphones with silicone cases usually hold well. For smartphones with slippery sides without a case, recesses have been provided into which optionally cut self-adhesive silicone bumpers with a thickness of 2 mm and an edge length of 7 mm can be glued (see pictures above). Instructions for Use: Before inserting the smartphone, please check whether the rubber band(s) are still intact. The smartphone could fall out if the rubber band(s) break. The adapter has a printed thread to accept the mounting screw. The screw hole is 11mm deep. If your tripod has a removable lock nut on the mounting screw, you can remove this nut and thus increase the usable thread length of the screw. This increases stability. See picture above. The printed thread can wear out. Check the screw connection for tightness.

    MicroSD case by M0les
    www.thingiverse.com

    This is a fully re-modeled build of a MicroSD case inspired by Kozalakis's one, borrowing some ideas from Kroki's remix of it. I didn't actually use any of their source, rather building from scratch using SD/MicroSD card dimensions. This version relies on fairly close tolerances, so it may be a bit temperamental on some 3D printers (Details below). The main differences from the other two: The case holds 10 MicroSD cards (2 x 5) There are registration tabs in the slots, so the SD adapter lid should only go in with the label side out and the connectors on the inside of the box. The SD adapter should register with the card retention tab on the inside of the slot (The original design used the write-protect tab slot to register the card). Depending on the material used and tolerances, this may be tight or wear out after a while. The SD adapter can be pushed-out from the connector end (the main reason for Kroki's remix). The model is intended to be printed with the notched “connector end” of the case DOWN. The print should not need any supports as all overhangs are either short (i.e. inside the MicroSD slots) or gradually sloping (the inside-top of the box). I added a second version that has added 0.2mm thick “frog toe” sprues on the outer corners of the base. These may assist with bed adhesion and preventing curling during the print. The sprues are more easily removable than a conventional brim addition and use less material too. This was all done using a free OnShape account and the model source is here

    I had an old USB Oscilloscope (StingRay), it's 20+ years old now. Bought a OWON HDS242 with the hope that I could view some stuff on it's screen, but still hook it up via USB to the computer and do some voltage data logging. It doesn't seem to work like I would like it to. So I've learned what I want is a Data Logger and not an Oscilloscope. Can anyone recommend a good USB Data Logger that won't break the bank? Decent bit ADC, and something that can get down to the 1us. Doesn't need to be high voltage. Cheers,

    Meta Quest 3 Wall Mount by 10P6

    This is a wall mount I designed and made for the Meta Quest 3 VR Headset; I also made a wall mounts for the Quest 1 and 2 when they were released, (see other designs) and was hoping to have this wall mount compatible with the Quest 1 and 2, but the design of the Quest 3 prohibits that. I have added three new STL files to make printing easier, one is a top part, and the other a bottom part, the other is a skinny top to fit on tiny printer bed; see in print section below. Like my other Quest wall mounts, this works well, but please be gentle with it as any damage to your headset is on you. I designed this to mount to a wall STUD with sheet rock / dry wall screws; (You can use on Wood piece or wall with the correct anchors MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SCREW INTO A CABLE OR PIPE OF SOME KIND.

    Latching Lock for Micro Servo SG90 9G by peaberry
    www.thingiverse.com

    This is an automatically latching lock which is powered by a Micro Servo SG90 9G. This makes it easy and inexpensive to interface to most microcontrollers such as Arduino. It is designed to engage with a pin of 3mm to 4mm diameter (not part of this model). When the pin enters the slot, it causes the mechanism to latch. To unlock it, the servo is driven through a range of 45 degrees, which causes the lock to release. The mechanism is designed to have a large mechanical advantage, so it should be able to cope with quite a bit of load without stalling the servo motor. We are approaching Halloween as I write this, so perhaps you could use it to drop giant spiders on unsuspecting guests :) You will also need: 2x 3mm x 15mm brass shaft (or similar) 2x M3 x 15mm screws to secure the housing 2x small springs Grease Use a drill to clean up the holes in the moving parts, so that they rotate very freely on the shafts. File or sand the parts to ensure they are smooth, and apply grease before assembly. Test the range of motion of the servo before assembly. You can actually test the complete mechanism is working well without the servo fitted. Push a screwdriver into the slot to make it latch, then use your fingertip to actuate the trigger. When you are confident that is operating smoothly, connect the servo to your Arduino (or whatever) to find its "rest" or "zero" position, then fit the servo horn in the correct orientation, then mount the servo and test in situ. I've attached a picture showing a view of the upper part of the housing viewed from below to show the proper orientation of the servo horn when the servo is at its "rest" or "zero" position. When the servo is driven through 45 degrees, it pushes against the "trigger" (the red part) causing the latch to release. Sample Arduino code is included (example.ino), showing how to drive the servo.

    This is the resculpted Chestburster, but I have added alot more detail to the model, new gums etc, should print much better than the original. (original in grey on the left in picture#1) this time, plus the base to it can be attached to your chest easily.
