Taulman Bridge 3D Printer Filament Review
I just received some Taulman Bridge Nylon 3D printer filament from extrudables.us this weekend and I’ve been printing just a few parts on it so far. Since I only have 1 pound of the material I am saving it for when I really need it, as opposed to PLA or ABS where I feel like I […]

Some Big IGBTs
Posted on May 18th, 2014 in Copper Vapor Laser, Custom Projects, DIY Equipment, Electronics, Energy, Laser, Technology
Last week I was out shopping at one of my electronic resources and came across some big Mitsubishi CM200DY-12H 600 Volts 200 Amp IGBTs. I bought two pairs of them for my future projects. Below is a picture of a pair of them on the nicely machined heatsink. The overall length of the heatsink is about […]

Built a Skew Planar and Cloverleaf Antenna for my 900Mhz FPV Setup
I was flying in an industrial are the other day with my FPV setup and even when the picture was clear it would go all rainbow colored which was very distracting, additionally my range seemed to be shortened quite a bit. It looked something like the photo below which has been photoshopped since I wasn’t […]

First Attempts at CNC Sign Making
I’ve had my home built CNC router machine for a couple of years now, but one thing I’ve not really done with it is to create a sign. It seems like an obvious thing, but I’ve always been more interested in making mechanical parts. I was down at the flying field the other day and […]
