Esta Newsletter tem os seguintes tópicos:

Faz hoje anos que nascia, em 1842 o químico, engenheiro e inventor alemão Carl von Linde. Foi ele que inventou a refrigeração mecânica. O seu primeiro equipamento de refrigeração foi testado numa cervejaria de Munique. Fabricar cerveja de boa qualidade requeria temperaturas baixas, limitando a fabricação ao inverno ou em porões profundos com o uso de grandes quantidades de gelo em bloco. Com a invenção da refrigeração por Linde, a fabricação de cerveja tornou-se sazonalmente independente. Linde também inventou um processo contínuo de liquefação de gases em grandes quantidades, o que proporcionou ímpeto e meios para a realização de pesquisas científicas a baixas temperaturas e vácuo muito alto.

Faz também hoje anos que nascia, em 1967, o físico francês Charles Fabry. Ele era especializado em óptica, desenvolvendo métodos para a medição precisa dos efeitos de interferência. Ele trabalhou com Alfred Pérot, durante 1896-1906, no desenho e uso de um dispositivo conhecido como interferometro Fabry-Pérot, especificamente para espectroscopia de alta resolução, composto por duas placas de vidro finamente prateadas colocadas em paralelo, produzindo interferência devido a múltiplas reflexões. Em 1913, Fabry demonstrou que o ozónio é abundante na atmosfera superior e é responsável por filtrar a radiação ultravioleta do Sol, protegendo a vida na superfície da Terra da maioria de seus efeitos nocivos.

Faz igualmente hoje anos que nascia, em 1910, o oceanógrafo, biólogo marinho e explorador oceânico Jacques Cousteau. Ele ficou conhecido pelas suas extensas investigações nos oceanos. Foi co-inventor do aqualung que tornou possível o mergulho autónomo (1943). Cousteau desenvolveu a série Conshelf de habitats tripulados, o Diving Saucer, um processo de televisão subaquática e várias outras plataformas e instrumentos especializados da ciência do oceano. Em 1945, ele fundou o Grupo de Pesquisa Submarina da Marinha Francesa. Ele modificou um caça-minas de madeira da Segunda Guerra Mundial no navio de pesquisa Calypso, em 1950. Verificou-se que uma cúpula de observação adicionada ao pé do arco de Calypso aumentava a estabilidade, a velocidade e a eficiência de combustível do navio.

Faz também hoje anos que nascia, em 1937, o Matemático americano David Mumford. Ele recebeu a Medalha Fields em 1974 pelo seu trabalho em geometria algébrica. Nos anos 80, ele voltou-se para a matemática aplicada com a pergunta "Existe uma abordagem matemática para entender o pensamento e o cérebro?" Isso faz parte da "Teoria dos Padrões", apresentada por Ulf Grenander nos anos 70, para fornecer um cenário teórico para um grande número de ideias, técnicas e resultados relacionados a campos como visão computacional, reconhecimento de fala, processamento de imagem e sinal acústico, padrão reconhecimento e seu lado estatístico, redes neuronais e partes da inteligência artificial.

Por fim, faz hoje anos que nascia, em 1945, o engenheiro e inventor francês Roland Moreno. Ficou conhecido por ter inventado o smart card usado por bancos, supermercados, postos de gasolina, cartões SIM de telefones celulares, cabines telefónicas públicas, documentos de identidade e cartas de condução.

Nesta semana que passou foi anunciada a nova PS5. A nova consola da Sony virá inicialmente em branco, com pormenores pretos e azul, e vai ter duas versões: uma com suporte para formato físico Ultra HD Blu-ray e outra para formato digital.

Na Newsletter desta semana apresentamos diversas noticias, artigos científicos assim como projetos de maker. É apresentada a revista newselectronics de 9 de Junho.

STMicroelectronics’ Reference Design Enables Compact and Cost-Effective Wearables with Social-Distancing, Contact-Tracing, and Remote Capabilities

STMicroelectronics’ Reference Design Enables Compact and Cost-Effective Wearables with Social-Distancing, Contact-Tracing, and Remote Capabilities

"STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, announces the availability of a compact and cost-effective reference design ideally suited for monitoring social distancing, assuring remote operation, provisioning, as well as warning, anti-tampering, and potentially providing contact tracing to protect human health in all environments, including in response to global or local pandemic conditions. Leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy technology through its incorporation of ST’s ultra-low-power BlueNRG-2 System-on-Chip with tunable RF output power, the BlueNRG-Tile reference design measures the signal strength of nearby Bluetooth non-connecting beacons and, in real-time, calculates proximity to these sources. The circuit can be provisioned and then operate, issuing warnings when another beacon intrudes on an adjustable perimeter or when tampered with – even when not connected to a smartphone or 5G network. The base reference design can be supplemented with ST’s S2-LP sub-GHz ultra-low-power RF transceiver to add bi-directional tag-to-cloud communication through the Sigfox “0G” Global Network, allowing private and anonymous tag provisioning, notifications, and an advisory return-channel for emergency warnings. To assure power economy and extend battery lifetime, the ultra-low power components are further enhanced with a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) accelerometer that power cycles the unit when it isn’t moving. Optionally, internal or external memory could provide long-term storage of nearby beacons, allowing contact tracing." [...]

Scientists Create Smallest Semiconductor Laser That Works in Visible Range at Room Temperature

Scientists Create Smallest Semiconductor Laser That Works in Visible Range at Room Temperature

"An international team of researchers announced the development of the world’s most compact semiconductor laser that works in the visible range at room temperature. According to the authors of the research, the laser is a nanoparticle of only 310 nanometers in size (which is 3,000 times less than a millimeter) that can produce green coherent light at room temperature. The research article was in ACS Nano. This year, the international community of optical physicists celebrates the anniversary of a milestone event: 60 years ago, in the middle of May, American physicist Theodor Maiman demonstrated the operation of the first optical quantum generator - a laser. This gave way to a new era in which lasers have become an essential part of our lives. Sixty years later, an international team of scientists, most of whom are from ITMO University, published a research where they demonstrated experimentally the world’s most compact semiconductor laser that works in the visible range at room temperature."

Transparent graphene electrodes might lead to new generation of solar cells

Transparent graphene electrodes might lead to new generation of solar cells

"New roll-to-roll production method could enable lightweight, flexible solar devices and a new generation of display screens. A new way of making large sheets of high-quality, atomically thin graphene could lead to ultra-lightweight, flexible solar cells, and to new classes of light-emitting devices and other thin-film electronics. The new manufacturing process, which was developed at MIT and should be relatively easy to scale up for industrial production, involves an intermediate “buffer” layer of material that is key to the technique’s success. The buffer allows the ultrathin graphene sheet, less than a nanometer (billionth of a meter) thick, to be easily lifted off from its substrate, allowing for rapid roll-to-roll manufacturing. The process is detailed in a paper published yesterday in Advanced Functional Materials, by MIT postdocs Giovanni Azzellino and Mahdi Tavakoli; professors Jing Kong, Tomas Palacios, and Markus Buehler; and five others at MIT. Finding a way to make thin, large-area, transparent electrodes that are stable in open air has been a major quest in thin-film electronics in recent years, for a variety of applications in optoelectronic devices — things that either emit light, like computer and smartphone screens, or harvest it, like solar cells."

Jodrell Bank leads international effort which reveals 157 day cycle in unusual cosmic radio bursts

Jodrell Bank leads international effort which reveals 157 day cycle in unusual cosmic radio bursts

"An investigation into one of the current great mysteries of astronomy has come to the fore thanks to a four-year observing campaign conducted at the Jodrell Bank Observatory. Using the long-term monitoring capabilities of the iconic Lovell Telescope, an international team led by Jodrell Bank astronomers has been studying an object known as a repeating Fast Radio Burst (FRB), which emits very short duration bright radio pulses. Using the 32 bursts discovered during the campaign, in conjunction with data from previously published observations, the team has discovered that emission from the FRB known as 121102 follows a cyclic pattern, with radio bursts observed in a window lasting approximately 90 days followed by a silent period of 67 days. The same behaviour then repeats every 157 days. This discovery provides an important clue to identifying the origin of these enigmatic fast radio bursts. The presence of a regular sequence in the burst activity could imply that the powerful bursts are linked to the orbital motion of a massive star, a neutron star or a black hole." [...]

Russian Scientists Developed the Most Heat-Resistant Material Ever

Russian Scientists Developed the Most Heat-Resistant Material Ever

"Group of scientists from NUST MISIS developed a ceramic material with the highest melting point among currently known compounds. Due to the unique combination of physical, mechanical and thermal properties, the material is promising for use in the most heat-loaded components of aircraft, such as nose fairings, jet engines and sharp front edges of wings operating at temperatures above 2000 °C. The results are published in Ceramics International. The active development of the aerospace industry requires more and more for aircraft: it must be fast, wear-resistant, and cheaper in production. Many leading space agencies (NASA, ESA, as well as agencies of Japan, China and India) are actively developing such reusable aircraft, spaceplanes, the use of which will significantly reduce the cost of delivering people and cargo to orbit, as well as reduce the time intervals between flights. “Currently, significant results have been achieved in the development of such devices."

Checking out iron under pressure

Checking out iron under pressure

"Iron is the most stable and heaviest chemical element produced by nucleosynthesis in stars, making it the most abundant heavy element in the universe and in the interiors of Earth and other rocky planets. To get a better understanding of the high-pressure behavior of iron, a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) physicist and international collaborators discovered the subnanosecond phase transitions in laser-shocked iron. The research appears in the June 5 edition of the journal Science Advances. The research could help scientists better understand the physics, chemistry and the magnetic properties of Earth and other planets by measuring time-resolved high-resolution X-ray diffractions for the entire duration of shock compression. This allows observation of the timing of the onset of elastic compression at 250 picoseconds and the inferred observation of three-wave structures between 300-600 picoseconds. The X-ray diffraction reveals that the famous phase transformation from ambient iron (Fe) to high pressure Fe occurs within 50 picoseconds." [...]

How magnetic fields and 3D printers will create the pills of tomorrow

How magnetic fields and 3D printers will create the pills of tomorrow

"Doctors could soon be administering an entire course of treatment for life-threatening conditions with a 3D printed capsule controlled by magnetic fields thanks to advances made by University of Sussex researchers. Engineers and pharmaceutical scientists from the University of Sussex and the University of Texas at Austin have developed a triggerable and remotely controllable system for on-demand drug delivery. Using 3D printing technology and magnetic actuation, researchers have been able to prove the concept of a drug release triggered by magnetic fields capable of inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells in vitro. While the research is in its initial phases, the researchers are working towards a system where it is possible to drive the drug delivery system towards the required position in the body using external means such as permanent magnets. The technology would allow for a drug to be applied close to the lesion. The researchers foresee that the targeted delivery offered by the new system could help eliminate harmful side effects caused by treatments like chemotherapy which damage neighbouring healthy cells."

Lab makes 4D printing more practical

Lab makes 4D printing more practical

"Soft robots and biomedical implants that reconfigure themselves upon demand are closer to reality with a new way to print shapeshifting materials. Rafael Verduzco and graduate student Morgan Barnes of Rice’s Brown School of Engineering developed a method to print objects that can be manipulated to take on alternate forms when exposed to changes in temperature, electric current or stress. The researchers think of this as reactive 4D printing. Their work appears in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. They first reported their ability to make morphing structures in a mold in 2018. But using the same chemistry for 3D printing limited structures to shapes that sat in the same plane." [...]

Engineers put tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses on a single chip

Engineers put tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses on a single chip

"The design could advance the development of small, portable AI devices. MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as memristors — silicon-based components that mimic the information-transmitting synapses in the human brain. The researchers borrowed from principles of metallurgy to fabricate each memristor from alloys of silver and copper, along with silicon. When they ran the chip through several visual tasks, the chip was able to “remember” stored images and reproduce them many times over, in versions that were crisper and cleaner compared with existing memristor designs made with unalloyed elements. Their results, published today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, demonstrate a promising new memristor design for neuromorphic devices — electronics that are based on a new type of circuit that processes information in a way that mimics the brain’s neural architecture. Such brain-inspired circuits could be built into small, portable devices, and would carry out complex computational tasks that only today’s supercomputers can handle." [...]

Crystalline ‘nanobrush’ clears way to advanced energy and information tech

Crystalline ‘nanobrush’ clears way to advanced energy and information tech

"A team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory synthesized a tiny structure with high surface area and discovered how its unique architecture drives ions across interfaces to transport energy or information. Their “nanobrush” contains bristles made of alternating crystal sheets with vertically aligned interfaces and plentiful pores. “These are major technical accomplishments and may prove useful in advancing energy and information technologies,” said ORNL’s Ho Nyung Lee, who led the study published in Nature Communications. “This is an excellent example of work that is only feasible with the unique expertise and capabilities available at national labs.” The team’s researchers hail from DOE national labs Oak Ridge and Argonne and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, University of South Carolina, Columbia, and University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The bristles of their multilayer crystal, or “supercrystal,” are grown freestanding on a substrate. Former ORNL postdoctoral fellow Dongkyu Lee synthesized the supercrystals using pulsed laser epitaxy to deposit and build up alternating layers of fluorite-structure cerium oxide (CeO2) and bixbyite-structure yttrium oxide (Y2O3)."

CU Denver researchers develop 3D-printable material that mimics biological tissues

CU Denver researchers develop 3D-printable material that mimics biological tissues

"Biological tissues have evolved over millennia to be perfectly optimized for their specific functions. Take cartilage as an example. It’s a compliant, elastic tissue that’s soft enough to cushion joints, but strong enough to resist compression and withstand the substantial load bearing of our bodies: key for running, jumping, and our daily wear and tear. Creating synthetic replacements which truly match the properties and behaviors of biological tissues hasn’t been easy. But University of Colorado Denver scientists, led by mechanical engineer professor Chris Yakacki, PhD, are the first to 3D print a complex, porous lattice structure using liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) creating devices that can finally mimic cartilage and other biological tissues. The CU Denver team, including professor Kai Yu, PhD, postdoctoral fellow Devesh Mistry, PhD, and doctoral student Nicholas Traugutt, as well as scientists from the Southern University of Science and Technology in China, reported its findings this week in the journal Advanced Materials."

Lightning fast algorithms can lighten the load of 3D hologram generation

Lightning fast algorithms can lighten the load of 3D hologram generation

"Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new way of calculating simple holograms for heads-up displays (HUDs) and near-eye displays (NEDs). The method is up to 56 times faster than conventional algorithms and does not require power-hungry graphics processing units (GPUs), running on normal computing cores like those found in PCs. This opens the way to developing compact, power-efficient, next-gen augmented reality devices, including 3D navigation on car windshields and eyewear. The term hologram may still have a sci-fi ring to it, but holography, the science of making records of light in 3D, is used everywhere, from microscopy, fraud prevention on banknotes to state-of-the-art data storage. Everywhere, that is, except for its most obvious offering: truly 3D displays. The deployment of truly 3D displays that don't need special glasses is yet to become widespread." [...]

Using the ‘shadow-effect’ to generate electricity

Using the ‘shadow-effect’ to generate electricity

"Shadows are often associated with darkness and uncertainty. Now, NUS researchers are giving shadows a positive spin by demonstrating a way to harness this common but often overlooked optical effect to generate electricity. This novel concept opens up new approaches in generating green energy under indoor lighting conditions to power electronics. A team from NUS Materials Science and Engineering as well as NUS Physics created a device called a shadow-effect energy generator (SEG), which makes use of the contrast in illumination between lit and shadowed areas to generate electricity. Their research breakthrough was reported in the scientific journal Energy & Environmental Science on 15 April 2020. “Shadows are omnipresent, and we often take them for granted." [...]

Scientists have made Bose-Einstein condensates in space for the first time

Scientists have made Bose-Einstein condensates in space for the first time

"The creation of the exotic matter on the International Space Station is a technological feat that could help unlock deep mysteries in physics. On board the International Space Station since May 2018 is a mini-fridge-size facility called the Cold Atom Lab (CAL), capable of chilling atoms in a vacuum down to temperatures one ten billionth of a degree above absolute zero. It is, for all intents and purposes, one of the coldest spots in the known universe. And according to a new study published in Nature, scientists have just used it to create a rare state of matter for the first time ever in space. Bose-Einstein condensates, sometimes called the fifth state of matter, are gaseous clouds of atoms that stop behaving like individual atoms and start to behave like a collective. BECs, as they’re often called, were first predicted by Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose over 95 years ago, but they were first observed in the lab by scientists just 25 years ago." [...]

If transistors can’t get smaller, then coders have to get smarter

If transistors can’t get smaller, then coders have to get smarter

"MIT CSAIL researchers say improving computing technology after Moore's Law will require more efficient software, new algorithms, and specialized hardware. In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors that could fit on a computer chip would grow exponentially — and they did, doubling about every two years. For half a century, Moore’s Law has endured: Computers have gotten smaller, faster, cheaper, and more efficient, enabling the rapid worldwide adoption of PCs, smartphones, high-speed internet, and more. This miniaturization trend has led to silicon chips today that have almost unimaginably small circuitry. Transistors, the tiny switches that implement computer microprocessors, are so small that 1,000 of them laid end-to-end are no wider than a human hair. And for a long time, the smaller the transistors were, the faster they could switch." [...]

Researchers mimic nature for fast, colorful 3D printing

Researchers mimic nature for fast, colorful 3D printing

"Brilliantly colored chameleons, butterflies, opals – and now some 3D-printed materials – reflect color by using nanoscale structures called photonic crystals. A new study that demonstrates how a modified 3D-printing process provides a versatile approach to producing multiple colors from a single ink is published in the journal Science Advances. Some of the most vibrant colors in nature come from a nanoscale phenomenon called structural coloration. When light rays reflect off these periodically placed structures located in the wings and skins of some animals and within some minerals, they constructively interfere with each other to amplify certain wavelengths and suppress others. When the structures are well ordered and small enough – about a thousand times smaller than a human hair, the researchers said – the rays produce a vivid burst of color. “It is challenging to reproduce these vibrant colors in the polymers used to produce items like environmentally friendly paints and highly selective optical filters,” said study leader Ying Diao, a chemical and biomolecular engineering professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."

"Arduino based moonflower disco light This is my first ever project on github, and also the first time I have written code from scratch for a very long time. There are likely to be bugs, bad coding practices and plain stupidity in circuit design or component use. I have tested it all, the circuit and the code runs fine for hours so nothing major wrong with it at least! I used a WS2812b 8x8 LED matrix which is attached to a 3D printed piece so it slots in where the old LED board used to be. I have used the original PSU that came in the light, and a boost converter to bring it up to a solid 5v as it was only putting out 4.2v (If anyone can advise how to modify the original PSU to put out 5v that would be great). This is powering an Arudino Nano running some FastLED matrix code which I have been using to make moonflower type patterns for beam effects." [...]

An ESP8266-based Temperature, Humidity and Line Voltage monitor

An ESP8266-based Temperature, Humidity and Line Voltage monitor

"As anyone who reads this blog probably knows, I have a bit to do with the operation and maintenance of the Northern Utah WebSDR - a remote receiver system that allows anyone with Internet access and a web browser to listen to the LF, MF, HF and some of the VHF bands as heard from a rural site in Northern Utah. The equipment for this receiver system is located a small building in the middle of mosquito and deer-fly infested range land near brackish marshes - no-where that anyone in their right mind would like to be during most of the year. With the normal weather in the summer and many clear days, this building gets hot at times: It's been observed to exceed 130F (55C) on the hottest days inside - a temperature that causes the fans on the computers scream! Even though electronic equipment is best kept at much lower temperatures, this isn't practical in this building as it would be prohibitively expensive to run the on-site air conditioner full time - but all we really need to do is to keep the building closer to the outside temperature and even though it may be uncomfortable for humans, it is enough to keep the electronics happy. To that end, vents have recently been installed to allow convection to pull away most of the heat and the exterior will soon been painted with white "RV" paint to (hopefully) reduce the heating effects of direct sun. It would make sense, then, that we had a way to remotely monitor the building's internal temperature as a means of monitoring the situation." [...]

Soft Starter for AC and DC Loads

Soft Starter for AC and DC Loads

"Inrush current/Switch-ON surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Inrush current is much higher than the load’s steady-state current and that’s the source of many problems such as fuse blowing up, load failure, load’s lifetime reduction, sparks at the switch contacts … etc. The figure below shows the inrush current phenomenon captured on the Siglent SDS1104X-E oscilloscope.

Musical Note Detector

Musical Note Detector

"This project shows an Arduino project that displays the approximate frequency as well as the musical note played on an electronic keyboard or piano app. For this project, the analog output from the sound module detector is sent to the A0 analog input of the Arduino Uno. The analog signal is sampled and quantized (digitized). Auto-correlation, weighting and tuning code is used to find fundamental frequency using the first 3 periods. The approximate fundamental frequency is then compared to frequencies in octaves 3, 4, and 5 range to determine the closest musical note frequency. Finally the guessed note for the closest frequency is printed to the screen." [...]

Designing and Building a UV Sanitizer

Designing and Building a UV Sanitizer

"The Invisible Enemy “Pandemic,” it’s a scary word to hear. Especially when it’s accompanied by panic-buying of canned goods, pasta, and the disappearance of most disinfecting products from stores. As soon as various media outlets started filling up their news cycles with stories about the coronavirus, alcohol, hand sanitizer, and other disinfectants flew off the shelves. Panic-buying left the most vulnerable without essential goods needed to protect themselves, with little recourse available. Facing such a bleak scenario, one such person turned to their son, Md, a BotFactory applications engineer for help. “Hey son, when you’re done removing the viruses from my computer, can you remove the viruses from my phone too?” Asked Md’s father."

Four Sample Player

Four Sample Player

"This is a simple audio player, based on an ATtiny85, that plays one of four audio samples from a DataFlash chip at the press of one of four buttons For example, you could make it play one of four tunes, or one of four spoken phrases, at the press of a button. It avoids the need for an on/off switch by putting the ATtiny85 to sleep when the audio sample has finished playing. Introduction My earlier Audio Sample Player project played an audio sample from the ATtiny85's memory and output it to a loudspeaker. It played the audio from the 8kbytes of flash memory available on the ATtiny85, which limited the sample length to about one second. This project uses a 4Mbyte DataFlash chip available for under 20 pence/cents each from AliExpress or eBay. The ATtiny85 reads the audio from the DataFlash chip and plays it through a loudspeaker, giving a maximum sample length of a total of 8 minutes and 44 seconds at a sample rate of 8kHz." [...]

Let's make a DIY gpg usb key

Let's make a DIY gpg usb key

"Some of you may know that you can use yubikey's as a gpg smart card for message encryption / ssh login however starting at $45 for a compatible one I didn't really like that, so I searched a bit around and found a project by danman creating such token with a St link V2 (the stm32/8 programmer) after looking a bit I found out that there is the gnuk project that implements just that on a stm32f103. Testing I, next found that there is another gpg key called the Nitro Key which is cheaper but still a bit pricey. As I already had some Blue pills (stm32f103 devboard) lying around I decided to test it. I started by finding the source code of gnuk (and the sub module chopstx) which was more difficult than I thought (Some git services were shut down), upon finding the source on GitLab I cloned it on my GitHub (https://github.com/TheStaticTurtle/gnuk https://github.com/TheStaticTurtle/chopstx/). I named my project TurtleAuth, so I started by just using the same config as the ST_DONGLE target since I don't plan on changing the MCU and the officials ones are based on the stm32f103c8 (clones are often the stm32f101 which doesn't officially have "USB capabilities" but can be used anyway somehow). I proceed by creating my own board definition (chopstx/board/turtle-auth.h) and adding / changing configuration like the led pin which I set to PA13 (On board led on the bluepill) and configuring a button on PA8 in pull up" [...]

Turn an Old 3D Printer Into a CNC Machine

Turn an Old 3D Printer Into a CNC Machine

"Turn an old 3D printer into a CNC machine Well yesBut there are issues I made a video sponsored by Banggood who have given me a $100 CNC spindle and some tooling to try and make my old Prusa i3 3D printer into a CNC. The 3D printer Ive a few years now just sitting in the shedas I have my nice Lulzbot Taz 3 so its about time I gave it a new lease of life. It was a good printer for its time and as I built it myself Im very familiar with the design so itll lend itself perfectly to this project. My first thought as Im sure many have considered before, there isnt much difference between a 3D printer and a small CNC machine. They typically both have small stepper motors that drive a tool end of some kind along several axis to reproduce a digital file. 3D printers do additive manufacturing using a plastic extruder usually and CNC machines a rotary cutting tool to do subtractive manufacturing by carving away the unwanted material."
