Welcome to Just Built It, part of the Maker Movement. Here you'll find a growing collection of posts that mash up the use of 3D printing, CNCing, electronics, and programming to create interesting gadgets and projects. With each project you make, we think you'll be proud to say that you #justbuiltit.
I've got a small collection of baseball bats. They are valuable to no one other than me: they remind me of a ballpark where I spent some great evenings as a child, and when I've occasionally noticed memorabilia on eBay or otherwise, I've accumulated a…
Continue reading...Welcome to the Candy Conveyor Belt Color Sensor project! This is a project that mashes up the use of a color sensor, associated illumination, an OLED display screen, an Arduino Nano, custom printed 3D parts, and well-known chocolate round candies that come in predictable colors. This is one of…
Continue reading...I recently wrote about how to build a 3D printed car. Aside from the 3D printed parts, the design required little more than readily available hobby motors, a battery pack, tires (aviation o-rings actually), and connectors to complete the circuit. It turned out to be…
Continue reading...Today's post is about building a four-wheel drive (4WD) toy car, out of little more than a couple motors and 3D printed parts. There are numerous well-written blog posts by makers that set out to build simple toy cars, but most use some commercially available chassis or…
Continue reading...If you've dabbled in building simple electronic circuits, you've likely encountered a variety of motors. There are stepper motors that can obey your command to precisely perform a 1/3200th rotation, servo motors that can reliably move their arm 90 degrees back and forth on command, DC motors that can tirelessly…
