I made some. Welcome to one third of my degree show...

The Farce of the Solenoids

The fuckers are the bane of my life.

So the conversion went like this:


Pull solenoid + addition


= push solenoid

Which didn't work. Excellent. SO..

Plastic addition, with a thread made by hand = shit wonky thread.

SO

Lathe to make straight thread

= Straight plastic addition to solenoid

And working 48V solenoid!


Which I now can't power because I bought a power supply (or 3) with the wrong ampage. Well done me. I'm starting to wonder if the drawers are going to be worth making using electronics, I may have to just re-make them using a spring loaded mechanism like the last set. Balls.

Oooops

Yea, so it would seem that I am idiot, as I ordered pull instead of push solenoids. Congrats to me. Congrats.

Solenoids!

Yay, they finally came!


Now all I have to do is work out how to use them. Where the fuck is Tom Taylor when you need him?

To Do Over Weekend

Just a little something something...

For this months Loud and Quiet magazine:

And now for something completely different...

A selection of the many and varied failings of my prototypes over the last few months.



That's design!
