Arduino day, Bangalore
- 1. www.cycloid.in 3D Printing & Maker Spirit Arduino Day 29th March, 2014 Viral Sachde Cycloid System
- 2. www.cycloid.in Maker Spirit Learning through Doing !
- 3. www.cycloid.in STEM • Science + Technology + Engineering + Maths • While making u use all above
- 4. www.cycloid.in Common Stages of Making : 1 • Should I make or not make ? • What all I need ? • Where all I can get all these CHEAP • I don't have budget • Okay, I some how manage to get most of things, Let's start
- 5. www.cycloid.in Common Stages of Making : 2 • Things are not fitting • I don't have that tool, let me borrow it from Foo • Ohh … I brake tool ! :( • I m running short of this material • It's assembled !
- 6. www.cycloid.in Common Stages of Making : 3 • Power is not coming, Battery Short circuit or adapter gone :( • It's powered on but not responding • Ohh finally, connected ! • Sensor is giving some data but that is out of expected range
- 7. www.cycloid.in Common Stages of Making : 4 • Ohh snap, That's wrong connection ! • Now section A is working but B not • Now B working but A stop responding • Shall I give up ? • Shall I consult Expert ! • Let me search online
- 8. www.cycloid.in Common Stages of Making : 5 • Let me give it another try! Let's review connections • Found issue, need to open it and reassembly it :( • I'm not able to open, I had fixed too hard • I damage Part X while opening, let me get it again
- 9. www.cycloid.in Common Stages of Making : 6 • Finally, I'm restarting clean • This time Section A & B are working out of box but not together • Let me debug it ! • Firmware was wrong • Let me fix it and update firmware !
- 10. www.cycloid.in Final Stage Making Ohh, It's working ! If it's not happy ending than … Picture abhi baki hai mere dost !
- 11. www.cycloid.in Spirit of Maker • Keep iterating on various stage of 6 slides and keep reaching on 7 again & again !
- 12. www.cycloid.in Characteristics of Good Maker • A Good maker has more failures than success • Patience • He knows that procedure is never as explained on most of websites
- 13. www.cycloid.in Typical learning while making • Patience; should not give up • Things will fail and take more time • Supplier and tool quality matters a lot • Team spirit
- 14. www.cycloid.in Makers in India • India is full of makers • People don't buy DIY Kits, they mostly make it :P
- 15. www.cycloid.in Typical mistakes by Makers • Short Time Line : 1 Day / 2 Day • Don't make design on paper/CAD • Short Budget, To much focus on low-cost • Avoids professional cutting, soldering, prototyping service • Mostly not focused on aesthetics
- 16. www.cycloid.in 3D Printing • Process of making solid object from digital design • Laying down one layer of material at time and doing it repetitively • Also called “Additive manufacturing”
- 17. www.cycloid.in Arduino <-> 3D Printer • RAMPs control board for 3D Printer on top of Arduino MEGA
- 18. www.cycloid.in 3D Printing & Maker Spirit • Most low-end 3D Printing were DIY • Based on Open Source Design • 3D Printing was triggered by desire to “make something in house, right now, by myself, at affordable cost” attitude
- 19. www.cycloid.in Learning while making 3D Printer • Initially, Newly assembled 3D Printer may not work as expected, have plenty of failed 3D prints even if have minor assembly / calibration mistake.
- 20. www.cycloid.in About myself :P • I run Cycloid System, where we manufacture Desktop 3D Printer and provide 3D Printing Service.
