I recently made a vibration isolated camera mount for my quad copter.
The sequencing software came with the servo controller. It's a Pololu Mini-Maestro Servo Controller available from Pololu dot com.

Once the design is the way I want I may post the files. The total cost for servos and controller was about $140.00 - $150.00. Hardboard was less than $5 for a 2X4 sheet. For the next version I may...
I spent the last few weekends on and off designing and building this robot arm. It's cut from 1/8 inch tempered hardboard (great stuff) and hobby servos. Alot of measuring and redos later and it's...
Really nice work Frank.
Dave
Thanks, I saw a wooden version and knew I had to make one. I especially like the variable gearing...something I'd never had thought of.
Dave
This one's a bit more complex than my last one. It took quite a bit of trial and error to get everything moving smoothly. It features a variable speed geartrain which brings the leg forward for the...
Tried a search first, but it wouldn't include dxf because it was too few letters.
I've got a gear generation program that will export a dxf or HPGL. When I import into Corel I see hundreds of straight line segments instead of curves. I see the same thing when I import into my 3d...
This is the first working prototype of my toy walking robot. I wanted to make a kit that could be assembled without too much trouble. I've got to shield the gears (my wife already got a nasty pinch),...
My day job has an event booth at a downtown convention center. They wanted some 3D signage on really short notice. I got the final artwork Saturday night so the only option for materials was what I...
It's probably the glue as you suspected. I have no problem going thru 1/8 and 1/4 poplar ply on my 25 watt, but the thin birch stock would rather burn than cut.

I've got to provide about 3 dozen office plates with name and title. These will be made from Romark Lasermax and go on the wall outside the offices. Is double-stick foam tape usually used for...
Count me in...THANKS!!
Dave
It's for my business 'Tangible Property Use Tax'. They want new value and fair market value. I'm inclined to go about 2K for it now.
Dave
I need the Fair Market Value of my Epilog Profile 25 watt for my taxes. It's over 10 years old but still going strong. I think the original owner said it was about 25K new. Anyone care to hazard a...
Here it is in action with newly modded servos.

I saw these plans at http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_Make_an_Arduino_Controlled_Servo_Robot_SER/ for a rolling robot cut from 1/8 acrylic. It uses the popular Arduino open-source...
That's it Gregg. Thanks a bunch!
Anyone have one they'd care to share? All I can find is one for the National Association of Eagle Scouts. Similar, but not the same. Before I recreate it I'd figure I'd ask.
This is the one I...
Impressive!
About 2 years I bought my laser along an assortment of acrylic stock from a co-worker. He had made a wooden roll-around cart to hold all the sheets. I also built some dividers beneath the laser table...
Although not the maple you need, I use model grade lite plywood available at most hobby shops. I believe it's an Italian Poplar ply. Lightweight and cream colored, both 1/8 and 1/4 inch cut like a...
Same here. I tried to cut a sticker out of sign vinyl. Aside from the posionous and corrosive gases, the edge quality was a bit jagged. I bought an inexpensive Chinese vinyl cutter (Refine 721) and...
