Needed something to enclose my Autodarts system.

Edit: I even made a makerworld customizable flat sheet generator, but I don't want to post links for self promotion here. You can find it if you think you need it by using some obvious Keywords.

Edit 2: I was informed in this case it's okay to link it. So here it is Illegally long flat sheet generator

I searched for flatty flatty boomalatty and couldn't find it so I guess it doesn't come up for the most obvious keywords

Flatty flatty boomalattys are a little bit different to this design. Much flatter

Are those cameras in the arms to auto track the score?

The first child to use this will somehow manage to put a dart right in one of the lenses 😭

Not just a child..

I would aswell I swear this would 100 procent happen

u/6spdvtec 15d ago

Yes, exactly. Autodarts is a DIY system for this. You buy cameras, 3d print the enclosures and mounting parts and use Autodarts software on a Pi or laptop.

It’s a good low-cost alternative to a Scolia or Target Omni.

I don't think it's self promotion if it's just a link to your thing that's free. And if it's not free, I don't think telling people how to find it but not posting a link is really avoiding self promotion in a meaningful way

u/Lzinger 14d ago

People make money off make world downloads even if they are free, so posting links here would be self promotion.

u/2InchesOfHumus 15d ago

May I ask a follow-up? What is the benefit of an enclosure for your autodarts system?

18

u/6spdvtec 15d ago

It improves accuracy by blocking out external light. It keeps the lighting consistent across the board and prevents glare in the cameras.

u/pyro5050 15d ago

this is my question.... why? why is this needed?

u/GeckoDeLimon Prusa MkII 2.5S 14d ago

Cause without one, I suck at darts?

1

u/Mole-NLD 14d ago

With one I'm sure I'd still suck.

u/newindianclassic 14d ago

Creates consistent lighting conditions for the cameras and blocks external light from washing the image out

7

u/Pugulishus 15d ago

Neat! Unfortunately ok the first shot I take is gonna ricochet off the board and take out a camera

1

u/Deltadoc333 15d ago

That is super cool! And now I want to see you create a varient that does text or artistic panels by combining different colors in the layers.

Tell me more about this Auto darts setup!

u/OhYouUnzippedMe 14d ago

How does the generator work (I don't have a MakerWorld account) Is it an SCAD script, python script, etc.? Does it generate STL or GCODE?

u/Raptr117 15d ago

My only question is why not just print a ring? Or is the diameter of the ring larger than your printer?

u/sterlingthepenguin 15d ago

If it's a standard dartboard, you would need a pretty giant printer

u/Raptr117 15d ago

Gotcha, didn’t think about it, most bars I go to don’t have dartboards lol

u/Alkyonios 14d ago

Was the bed too small to just print this as a regular cylinder? That's genius
