Revised: The smaller version or how the design evolves

It’s been a while since I built a door stamp design for the work that should just say to people: Sorry, I’m busy right now. Please come back later. After we’ve been using these door ramps for a while, most of them are broken now. That wasn’t really the design itself, but the fact that the traffic lights were directed downwards. This brings with it a serious problem: If you push the handle down, the door jam is pushed through its rigid ...

Tablet Holder for DJI Mavic Air from the 3d Printer

Recently it was my birthday and I got myself a DJI Mavic Air - that’s a semi-professional camera drone. Such drones are typically controlled from the perspective of the drone with the support of live views and of course a eye-side view of the pilot himself. DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo A smartphone display is often used for this purpose. But also big smartphones make the handling as well as the recognition of the details very ...

GoPro Fusion 360° shoulder mount

My 360° camera (a GoPro Fusion) can take very interesting pictures, but it has one problem: Due to its size, it can’t be easily attached with a normal action cam stand (I also ride e.g. inline skates without a helmet). So what to do? I have started my Hash Animation:Master and my 3d printer and some test prints and various attempts later, I have created a first, working shoulder mount for my VR cam recordings. I’m not completely satisfied ...

AMD Ryzen – My new PC for content creation (with Hash Animation:Master) and Games (Part 1/3)

Last week I bought a new PC which should replace my AMD Phenom II x6 1090T-based mahine as my main pc. My x6 has been a reliable computer for many years (over 7 years) but nowadays it is getting more frequent, that even the minimal requirements of PC games are not matched anymore. If you think about how old that machine really is, it is more than astonishing how long that has taken to be the case. To be honest, that machine is a grandpa today. ...
