Make Fun Stuff
США
Добавлен 16 май 2012
I want to make fun stuff and hopefully inspire others to make fun stuff of their own. I focus mainly on projects that involve software and electronics, but anything is fair game as long as it's fun!
I built a machine to track my dad at work
My dad needed something to go on his desk to let people know where he was, so I built him an Arduino "Where's Waldo?" device using an ESP8266, Twilio, and AWS IoT.

My dad runs around at his office between his desk and a few different labs, and his coworkers can never find him. I tried to solve this for him with this project by making a device that will sit on his desk and respond to text messages so he can update his current location on the go and his coworkers can just stop by his desk to find him.

Building a magic wizard quill to send my wife cute messages | Ye Olde Fax Machine
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 года назад
I used a thermal printer (and a feather) to make a device that lets me send notes to my wife from anywhere, using an ESP8266, an Arduino Nano, and MQTT. The feather is moved by a pair of servo motors to make it look like the notes are being written by a "magic" quill like you'd see in Harry Potter (kind of).

Trumpet Battle
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.11 лет назад
Two trumpets have a solo battle. Song is "Back Row Politics" by Gordin Goodwin's Big Phat Band.
I like the phone holder. I am also a big believer in using a corrugated discharge hose to exhaust the smoke through a window. Well done!
bless you, this video will help so many people avoid toxic fumes
Thank you!
I'm doing something similar. I picked up 2x 120x35mm high airflow 3000 rpm fans. Like 125cfm each lol. I don't have 3d printer but plan on mocking one up with cardboard. Not sure if I can put them in line with each other at either end of a 7" long box. But I'll try lol. If it works out I'll make a thin plywood box or something. Also found some tubing for the suction side that stays put when you bend it. Still not sure how I'm going to do it but hopefully those little fans can move a lot more air
Can you write materials you used
For me
By the way, what's a good alternative to that funnel if you you don't already have a 3d printer? Maybe just hack together some funnels until you get both ends the right size and some hot glue, I guess? Or maybe box of some sort? Hmm...
Es más simple comprar un extractor de cocina o baño. Funciona de la misma forma. En caso de querer usar un ventilador de computadora. Podes armar una caja con madera o cartón , que tenga inclinación hacia la salida del tubo. Para que me entiendas. Que tenga forma de pirámide , en donde en la base iria el ventilador. Y en la punta el tubo de extracción. Espero te sirva.
Absolutely amazing. And that gap can easily be closed with a bit of cardboard. 😅
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I liked the video a lot.
Thank you!
So simple and affordable. Thanks man.
I have some 120v fans that do 81cfm i wana use those
Sounds like that'll be plenty, have fun!
@@MakeFunStuff but kinda dangerous
This is a cool project 🎉wow
Thank you!
Nice!!!
Vou fazer um igual. Eu tive essa ideia antes de ver, mas precisava saber se daria certo hahaha
It's a large funnel and I'll place it slightly above the work area. Do you think it works this way? Or does it work from a distance of 1-2 cm?
That’s awesome thanks for sharing
Thank you!
You should make some more videos!
Thanks! I've been meaning to, hopefully soon!
Are you 3D printing a 'mouth' for the tubing?
So far just at the fan end. It works pretty good as-is, although a mouth might make it better. If you make something similar with a mouth, let me know how it goes!
If I have a fume extractor inside my room & wear a mask, keep the fan on & the window cracked is that enough ventilation. It's 100⁰f outside and I can't solder in that heat anymore. Is this safe enough conditions to do it inside?
when your hair starts falling out you know you doing something wrong.
You just have to install an air filter to the tubing so air gets pulled through the filter before being released
I saw you are doing a pull configuration there. Do you think a push configuration would work? Basically the fan will be place at the table and the tube end will be place outside
I don't see why that wouldn't work, and it might even work better. The suction would be a little weaker but over a larger area, which might make it easier to position.
@@MakeFunStuff thanks, bro. That's really helpful
This is such a great idea - thanks for sharing! Can i just ask where (and how) you mount the carbon filter listed in the parts list?
Thanks! I didn't use a carbon filter since this is venting the fumes directly out a window, I just linked one as a reference for anybody that can't vent it outside. My model isn't set up with that in mind though, so it won't mount to it directly (unfortunately).
@@MakeFunStuff No worries - thanks for your help! I am going to make one today.
Awesome, have fun!
Realy nice, especially that you have shared the 3D file!! Thanks for that! :)
Thank you!
Didn't think of using those phones clamps to hold the tube. Great idea
Hi i am from Indonesia. What if reversed position. The end of the drain hose on the window and the fan near the soldering station?
I can't say for sure, but I think that should work just as well. The speed of the air being pulled in where you're soldering would move a little slower since it's spread over a larger area, but my guess is that it'd still be fast enough to get the job done.
It makes perfect sense and it's not it occurred to me. Same with the working system of the vacuum machine. Finally, how many grams from the 3D model design. Because, in my country there is a 3D printing service that is calculated by weight for production costs? Thank you.
That depends on the settings you use when printing (infill, etc.), but with supports and 20% infill my slicer estimates 133g.
tilt switch. why didn't you demo at end?
Come back man please🙏🤝
Working on it!
@@MakeFunStuff coool🕶
@@MakeFunStuff you're awesome!!
Thank you!
do you think this would be a challenging first project? i absolutely love the idea but am new to alot of whats probably implemented
Glad you like it! I don't think it would be too challenging for a first project, no individual part of it is too complicated and each part should be very similar to guides or tutorials you can find online, and all my code is available (see the link in the description). Good luck, and if you do end up making it let me know!
thank you i will! i love your content too man keep at it
Love the video and the idea. Is the code for this aviable somewhere?
Thanks, glad you liked it! The code is in Bitbucket, and there are links to the repositories (which also include circuit diagrams) at the end of the video description. Enjoy!
@@MakeFunStuff Thanks!! Want to recreate this to some degree for a long distance friend of mine.
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
@@MakeFunStuff I don't know much about coding and stuff. Am I able to send messages from everywhere if I am connected to the MQTT server?
Yep, the device listens to the server, which can receive messages from anywhere in the world.
Can i use i bigger tube like i got an old vaccum that doesn't work
You could use a bigger tube, although the wider it is the slower the airflow will be. Depending on the size that may not be an issue, but you may need a more powerful fan as well. It's worth a shot though!
how much did you pay for the tubing?
Looks like it's no longer listed on Amazon so I'm not sure, but I believe it was under $15
sorry, didn't look at the description before I asked this.
i made mine using a broken portable fan nad it suck fumes pretty good😋
Nice!
add 2 seven-segment LEDs to show actual temp.
ρгό𝔪σŞｍ
I would put an attiny85 and program it to blink in random frequency. Put some push button but don't wire it sent it to a friend and tell them it's a puzzle box.
That's a fun idea!
can you make it into somekind of a telegraph printer?
Your editing skills are pretty good
I guess i am lucky that i got your channel in my recommendation
Had no idea you could arduino a thermal printer, but I’m a noob to such things…Alexa, print my shopping list! Sometimes paper is just more convenient. Great content. Thx
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Love your sense of humor, thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Nice project for an excellent idea, congratulations ! Waldo is kind of creepy I guess, but the great video soundtrack compensates for It !
Neat! Your Thingiverse link appears to be broken.
Whoops, forgot to click "Publish". Should be working now, thanks for catching that!
69th view.... nice. Also, great video as always
Absolutely amazing, great build!
Thank you!
The hashtag equals equals equals capital D made me lol xD
"Quick and Easy" on the title... Continues build with a 3D printer. Smh. Every DIY youtube channel ever.
I mean I'm sure you could figure out a way to make a funnel without a 3d printer
You’re video is very well put together and the project looks great! I really like the magnet idea.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Awesome project and editing. I'm gonna check out your other videos. I personally like shorter videos where the creator doesn't go crazy about the details and the video ends up being 30 minutes long.
Thank you!
Amazing..!!👏👏👏
Thank you!
Haha you are amazing I like your humor. Keep this up! Enjoyed your Vid! 😃 Greetings from Germany, just subscribed!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed!
Maybe use an ultrasonic or optical proximity sensor instead of a switch. Next time.
I thought about that, but using a switch that controls power to the Arduino means there's no power draw at all when it isn't being used, so the battery ends up lasting a really long time. Thank you for the suggestion though!
@@MakeFunStuff good point.
Awesome! Love your work!
Thank you very much!
