This year at maker Faires we exhibited a collection of our most interesting projects. Discover them now !!!

The projects presented to the two Maker Faire we attended in October, the first Maker Faire Zagreb and the 7th Maker Faire European edition in Rome, are so many. Therefore we decided a summary of them for all those people who were not able to come and visit us at the fair. Here is the second part. If you miss the first part, you can read it here.

Lumibee

LumiBEE is a free and Open Source project that anyone can do. It is our way of thanking the Maker community, of which we feel part, and a challenge that we launch to all those who want to get involved, arm themselves with screwdrivers, soldering station and enthusiasm and create it by themselves..

It is a unique compact 3D printer that uses photosensitive visible light. resin It is very particular because it uses the light emitted from the screen of a mobile phone, inserted inside, to transform the liquid resin into a three-dimensional object.

It has been designed in such a way that 95% of its parts can be 3D printed with a desktop 3D filament printer. It has a modular structure, where each segjmeny, with a specific function, can be modified and customized.

LumiBee is finalist at the Digital 3D design award Purmundus Challenge 2019.

VVD

In 2017 we launched the idea of an electronic device that, through a mechanical system, allows the volumetric display of a three-dimensional model such as a “Star Wars holograms generator". This year we revised the structure and the design to make VVD more portable and to favour a more complete vision of the model so to allow more people at the same time, to see it from literally every point of view.

It is a device that can be used in different areas: in educational, in medical, in engineering and product development, in a museum or in marketing and communication. It is a project that can be further improved and developed and for which we are looking partners interested to work on it together with us.

DIYson

Some of our projects are born out of concrete needs like the DIYson.

We needed a vacuum cleaner, preferably wireless, to be able to do some real cleaning in our lab, and of course we aimed at the new cyclone vacuum cleaners, but they were expensive.

What does a Maker do in this situation? Of course, he builds it himself, with components available in the market such as battery and a fan for model aircraft, Plexiglas waste material, mechanical parts and 3D designed external body shells to be easy customizable and repairable, because they are 3D printed!

DIY Motorized Camera Slider

Also this project is born from a concrete need to make videos with tracking shots.

Again the normal motorized sliders on the market proved to be quite expensive and did not meet all our needs, so the launched the challenge: shall we do it ourselves ?!

And not only that, do we also make it available to everyone? And here it is. You can find all the information on how to make it on the Instructables website.

Lumi Headphones

The real Maker doesn't buy expensive earphones or headphones from famous brands, he does them himself!

And so we 3D designed the structure of the headphones and 3D printed it with our LumiCube resin printer.

We sprayed 3D printed parts with conductive coating and plated them with a galvanic bath, to give them a nice metal finish.

Then we assembled the different components using glue and soldering material: the enamelled copper wire, a magnet, a cable with jack reused by a pair of earphones that no longer worked, a very thin membrane, for which we recycled the transparent windows of postal envelopes.

And here they are, our headphones that are not only beautiful, but the sound is great. Trying is believing!

We tried to recap our many ideas hoping that you enjoyed them. We also hope we gave you an inspiration to get involved with creativity!

See you at the next Maker Faire!
