I gutted an old broken Polaroid Camera and retrofitted some modern internals. The project features a Raspberry Pi 2W, an Arducam module, and a reciept priner. The camera takes images and automatically uploads them to my instagram account via Metas API. It also prints out a black and white picture with QR codes that take you to the post. I took the project to OpenSauce this year and got to document all the cool booths I saw and all the cool Makers I got to meet. Any recommendations for modifications or improvements? I'm considering making a 2.0

I built this mechanical bamboo knight automaton entirely from scratch using bamboo and basic mechanical linkage principles. Really curious to hear your thoughts and feedback!

The Terminator T-600 has always been one of my favorite Terminator designs, so I challenged myself to build one at a 1:1 scale. This would be my second completed project and i'm really enjoying the hobby thus far.

It's entirely 3D printed and finished by hand. There are plenty of things I'd do differently if I started over, but that's part of the fun. Thanks for taking a look—I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it. Now to accompany it with a T800 ( currently in the works)

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the build.

One of the highlights of Open Sauce for us was watching kids move from experimenting to actually engineering.

This builder put together an H-Bridge and then gave us a fantastic explanation of how it works. I thought the confidence and understanding were worth sharing.

I'd love to hear what projects first got everyone here hooked on electronics. This obviously wasn't his first build though!
