More 3D Printer news!

While talking to Mr. Crane, he asked how we are going to do the belt on the wheels. I said we could buy a belt and cut it to size and connect the ends – but this is the S.A.R.T, and that would be too easy. While buying more ABS for the Ultimaker, I thought...

NUC Running on battery!

A few days ago Mr. Elias and I were having a chat about powering the NUC. He said that we should start looking at how much usable time we can get out of it while running on battery, so I went to JayCar and got two 2.5mm DC power plugs to connect to our voltage dropper....

3D Printing Update

After printing some wheels in PLA I thought we could speed this up if I got the Ultimaker and started printing them on that as well. As I’m using the Ultimaker I’m using ABS to print the wheels, not only is it better quality it is also a stronger plastic so with that in mind we are...

Windows Server 2016, that’s so last year.

After windows server 2012 didn’t know what an ethernet adapter was, I downloaded windows server 2016 (5GB) that only took 3 hours due to Australia’s internet speed. Once downloaded I went to install it on the BreezeLite, the BreezeLite has an interesting issue where the only USB that will show up is ones formatted in FAT32...

indows Server + Breeze Lite = Great?

As part of our briefcase idea, we need a little PC to control the robot (we are ditching the laptop cause of size) I had the idea of putting the BreezeLite into the case as it’s very small. After a little bit of test fitting, I took it home to work on installing Windows Server...
