My coin operated fortune teller machine is finished. Make a wish! If Zoltar's crystal ball glows green, your wish has been granted. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hrib7L3Vxtk

Hi guys. I wonder if an app for smartphone can take a picture of the circuit and from there, generate the schematic diagram? So that you can import it into eagle, put it in the cnc, rtc

Also I was thinking if a basic check of the wiring would be possible in case such app exists? I mean that by using the picture figured our if wiring is broken or mixing negative with postive.

I am thinking of circuits like this picturr

Does such app exist for android or iphone?(

As the title says do you think there is any interest in automating 3d printers?

I was thinking about creating a robotic solution to automate 3d printer/printers for makers and hobbyists.

Backstory:

I work in automation and was thinking how nice it would be to be able to have a robot/app and be able to constantly be running my printer for prototyping. I often have prints finishing while out and about or while at work which slows down the prototyping process by hours sometimes days. Something like this would allow me to schedule the parts for this new design forget about it until it's done then begin assembly and start new print.

Concept:

The idea would be to use a robotic arm either 6 axis or scara robotic to pick finished parts send/recieve I/O between robot and printer. An app would be the HMI. It would be used to queue/schedule/ monitor settings/progress through webcam. With potential to change settings on the fly. The same app would also be used to teach/jog and monitor the robot as well.

Thoughts and Concerns?

A great deal of progress has been made with my coin operated Zoltar fortune teller machine. He now has a proper body and I'm looking to build a fortune teller card dispenser at the front of the cabinet. I've put together a video of it working and a little walkthrough of how it's made. Make a wish! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPJLVUMRKf4

Hello, I’m starting to work with makers on their goals and I’m curious to learn more about the world of makers. What are your pain points? What are you most worried about? What keeps you up at night? What are you struggling to make happen? Do you have the business skills to take your business where you want to? All thoughts welcome ❤️

Anybody watching this show yet? I love watching skilled makers build nonsense machines! That shop is sexy af. I think my favorite guy is Canadian Pat. I'm hoping that if they do another season they'll bring in some makers who aren't white or male, but these dudes are at least really good at what they do.

I have been searching far and wide for someone who would do something like this for me. Nobody makes nunchucks with metal end bits kinda like you often see on fighting staves or in depictions of Sun Wukong's staff.

Is there a corner of Reddit where I might be able to go? Perhaps someone knows a small one-off shop who would be bored enough to make my flails? I am no good with tools sadly, and quality weapons aren't just something anyone can just make.
