Insulin Vial Dating Reminder Stickers
For someone with diabetes who just can’t remember the procedures of keeping your insulin fresh, here are some labels to help you with. There are only two columns of labels when there are three available because it is really difficult to bleed out the red (pink or whatever you call it, not the green side) …
Magnetic Reset Switch for Waterproof RileyLink Case
The Magnetic Sensor v 3.1 This is a quick preview of the now working magnetic reset switch for RileyLink to be used inside a waterproof case in the event the RileyLink requires a power cycle reset. Also included are some review of the past iterations. Just a warning here: We are not really sure what …
RileyLink Remote Reset Switch
This is the final prototype of the reset switch to be used for RileyLink inside a completely water-proof case. It uses a neodymium magnet to turn the main power off and back on using a MOSFET w/o having to have a port-hole for a physical access to the main sliding power switch. Some 6.2KΩ registers …
Tri-Tone Letterpress Portrait
Ink simulation in Photoshop This is a screenshot from Illustrator. These are MDF plates. From left to right, black, red, and yellow. Solid black regions inside the image frame are un-lased areas to be hand carved later to save on the fume extraction consumables (to lessen the smoke generation). You can see some areas were …
DIY Double Roller Brayer
We made a double roller hand brayer using two C&P letterpress rollers. The plastic parts to give some tension to the rollers were cut using a laser engraver. Shoddy tig-welding by us 🙂 Hoping that the additional roller would compensate nicely for the small roller diameter… Perhaps a different diameter rollers would even be better? …
Six Color (monochrome) Letterpress Portrait
We’ve attempted a six color letterpress portrait – a monochrome 6 gray levels (so 7 levels including “non printing white area” for a whopping 1 less than a 3-bit image 🙂 . Paper We used three different paper types, Crane’s Letter, French Paper Company’s Butcher Extra Blue-Dur-O-Tone and German Etching paper… They were all cut …
RileyLink Waterproofing Qi Wireless Charging Case for Loopers #004
We finally made a waterproof version of our Qi wireless charging case for RileyLink!!!! Loopers rejoice (LOL). Still untested underwater (are we going to???) but the joint seam looks good, clear of air and voids! One mistake… The hole for a keychain etc…. Well, it won’t work with the Qi charging base. DUH! but may …
RileyLink Waterproofing Qi Charging Prototype #001-002
While the RileyLink for OmniPod with Loop.app for iOS is a life changing device, carrying it in a waterproof container is a pain in the ass… Here is our disclaimer: MESSING WITH YOUR RILEYLINK MAY KILL YOU, WILL VOID WARRANTIES (is there one?) and MAY RUIN YOUR DAY. We are not associated with the brave …
Three Color Letterpress Portrait
We just finished a large (31.5″ long paper) slightly-larger-than-life-sized multi-colored letterpress portrait using our Vandercook press. We only used a dozen sheets of paper but luckily we managed to get a few decent yields. We attributed the most fabulous registration of each of the plates to the new servo’s ability to run the press super …
Mylar Tympan Installation for Packing the Cylinder on a Vandercook 232P
We’ve used Mylar™ tympan for our presses for years. Why? It makes for an easy cleanup! Chopin’s Waltz in A flat major, B. 21 by Olga Gurevich provided free of copyright here: https://musopen.org/music/performer/olga-gurevich/ Without the piano, this video is meaningless 🙂 THANK YOU!!!
Lawson 38/39″ Paper Cutter
We finally squared away the issues we created by introducing grease instead of lighter (motor) oil to the main shaft of the flywheel. Duh…. We had to purge the grease out of the pair of bearings. But we were not inclined to remove the 350 LBS flywheel… So, we bagged the end of the shaft …
