This custom flight joystick provides force feedback with stepper motors
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe joysticks found on ordinary controllers are quite simple, and as a result, they fail to provide much in the way of haptic feedback for the user. This is especially tough in racing or flight simulator games where making sharp turns should require a greater amount of force. YouTuber zeroshot’s project aimed…

This machine helps to experimentally find an estimation of absolute zero
Reading Time: 2 minutesHow can we ever really know anything? If you listen to the anti-science types, you might believe that we can’t. But if you get past Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, you can start identifying basic truths, through logic and experiments, on which to build upon. One important foundational building block is absolute…

Raspberry Pi Pico Ticket Game
Reading Time: < 1 minuteChris emailed us a little while ago (sorry, Chris!) about his fun little Raspberry Pi Pico project which he describes as “a simple stand-alone Q&A game or ice-breaker for a party, using a Pico, a thermal printer, and a big red button” – although we’d say the button is medium-size compared…

A homemade launchpad for compressed air-powered rockets
Reading Time: 2 minutesA conventional model rocket engine is simple combustible solid fuel (black powder or more advanced composites) molded into a cylinder that uses expanding gas to produce thrust. Though it is minimal, there is some danger there. An alternative is compressed gas, which will also expand to produce thrust — just without the…

F/A-18C Right Console
Reading Time: < 1 minuteTo many readers, ‘F/A-18C Right Console’ will look like a bunch of letters and numbers thrown together. To aviation enthusiasts, though, those letters and numbers clearly refer to the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, a fighter plane developed in the 1970s for the US Marines and US Navy. This replica control console…

This student made his own odds with a DIY slot machine
Reading Time: 2 minutesToday’s digital slot machines are anything but “fair,” in the way that most of us understand that word. There is tight regulation in most places, but the machines can still adjust their odds of payout in order to maintain a specific profit margin. If the machine thinks it has paid out too…

Forgot your safe combination? This Arduino-controlled autodialer can crack it for you
Reading Time: 2 minutesSafes are designed specifically to be impenetrable — that’s kind of the whole point. That’s great when you need to protect something, but it is a real problem when you forget the combination to your safe or when a safe’s combination becomes lost to history. In such situations, Charles McNall’s safe-cracking autodialer…

Chop saw tape dispenser
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt’s in this spirit that Bunchowills has made the world’s smallest chop saw that is also a tape dispenser. Yes, the spinny 3D-printed blade won’t give you the same clean edge as a pair of scissors, but it looks considerably more awesome, and that’s the whole point. This mostly 3D-printed build…

Quickly digitize your Magic deck with this 3D-printable scanning rig
Reading Time: 2 minutesWe call them “deck builders” for a reason: because players end up with huge piles of trading cards. They can get difficult to manage, which is why the ManaBox app exists for Magic: The Gathering. It lets collectors scan and log their decks, which is handy for everything from finding market values to…
