Lost your index arrow? June 22, 2014 07:46PM |
Ok, so I was paranoid about losing my index arrow for my Handibot. I extracted the arrow file from the Handibot Hardware GitHub page:
[github.com]
And I set about a few ways to make a new one. I am lucky enough to have a Makerbot, so I was able to easily print it on that.
However, I thought it would be cooler to make with the Handibot itself. So, imagine you're in the shop, about to cut something and you can't find your arrow? Well, just grab a 1/2" scrap of ply and run the code in the link I have below and you'll have one in about a minute!!
This took 24 minutes on a Makerbot, and just 2 on the Handibot.
In the GitHub link below you'll have STL files, Sketchup models, and VCarve files.
