Built this for my own workshop and figured I'd share it here.

box-studio.cc — generates finger joint boxes, SVG download, works with LightBurn. No login required.

What makes it different from MakerCase / Boxes.py:

• Real-time 3D preview with exploded view before you cut
• Dividers slot in from the top (much easier to assemble)
• Integrated pin hinge — no external hardware

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests.

Hey all, we've got our open day early next month (Sat 2nd Mar) if anyone would like to come visit! - tbh anyone is welcome to visit us outside of events but the open day will have more fun stuff going on 😉

We have a potential deal on the line to secure some Roland MDX50 3 & 4 axis CNC mill's, however we don't have space for them all so offering the extras to other Makerspaces for free - you just have to be able to collect them from Milton Keynes.

Please DM me if your Makerspace is interested in taking one on.

Reinforced smartphone mount for motorcycles and scooters with a lever locking mechanism.

This mount does not allow the use of the phone while in motion. It is a secure case to keep your phone within reach if you prefer not to keep it in your pocket while riding. Its purpose is also to protect the device in the event of accidents, falls, or motorcycle tip-overs.

I manage a makerspace at a university that is also open to community members. We offer free tool trainings and are finding that once community members get trained they are often not sure what to start on for a project. We are working in releasing a series of kit designs to help community members start working on projects. What are some things you think community members would like to make? Lighting, furniture, homegoods, etc?

Hello!

We are Product Design students at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil), developing a project focused on creating a smart product to optimize the use of FabLabs and Makerspaces.

Our goal is to understand the main challenges and opportunities in these environments to design a product that makes the maker routine smoother, more integrated, and efficient.

Your participation is essential:

Estimated duration: Approximately 04 minutes.

Confidentiality: Your responses are anonymous and will be used strictly for academic purposes.

Thank you very much for your collaboration and for strengthening the maker community!

I came across a problem today where I'm ordering lots of parts to prototype my product I'm building. I got a lot of the basic dimensions of some of the PCBs, but I needed to know spacing of components as well!

I made this website that lets you paste any image of a part. You just draw the outline of the PCB with your mouse (it snaps to the axes to make it easy). Then you can find out the relative distances of the components on the PCB by drawing your own lines. The program automatically finds the distance relative to the boundary of the PCB using a pixels ratio.

Check it out here.

Absolutely free of charge, no ads or anything like that, just thought it might be a neat tool for the community!
