GITHUB

BASIC INFORMATION

• What is GitHub?

  GitHub is a web-based Git or version control repository and Internet hosting service. It is mostly used for code. It offers all of the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. It provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

  GitHub offers both plans for private and free repositories on the same account which are commonly used to host open-source software projects. As of April 2017, GitHub reports having almost 20 million users and 57 million repositories, making it the largest host of source code in the world.

• What is a repository?

  A repository, or “repo” for short, is a digital directory or storage space where you can access your project, its files, and all the versions of its files that Git saves. It can be made and use easily on GitHHub and can be used to display our documented files online to other users.

• What is a commit?

  A commit is like a snapshot of all the files in your project at a particular point in time.

  When you created your new repository, you initialized it with a README file. README files are a great place to describe your project in more detail, or add some documentation such as how to install or use your project. The contents of your README file are automatically shown on the front page of your repository.

• What is Markdown?

  Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.

3D PRINTER

BASIC INFORMATION

• What is Ultimaker and Ultimaker 2+?

  Ultimaker is a 3D printer manufacturer. Their product line includes the Ultimaker 3 family, Ultimaker 2 family and the Ultimaker Original. The company started out as an open-source printer company. Contrary to the RepRap project founded By Adrian Bowyer, Ultimaker is not focused on an end-goal of self-replication. Their product is designed to make high quality prints. Ultimaker sells the Ultimaker Original family as a DIY kit and the Ultimaker 2 family pre-assembled.

  Ultimaker’s 3D printers currently print using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA). Ultimaker’s printers also can print with other thermoplastics such as Nylon and Acrylic (PMMA), but this may be a little difficult.

  Ultimaker 2+ is the 3D Printer product of Ultimaker company used in the FabLab of MESCE, Kuttipuram.

• What is Cura?

  Cura is a 3D printer slicing application. It was created by David Braam; he was later employed by Ultimaker to maintain the software. Cura has been released under the open source Affero General Public License version 3. Development is hosted on GitHub. Cura is the preferred slicer software for Ultimaker 3D printers, but can be used with other printers as well.

• What is .stl file?

  STL (STereoLithography) is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. STL has several after-the-fact backronyms such as “Standard Triangle Language” and “Standard Tessellation Language”. This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more compact.

MANOEUVRE

• PRINTING USING ULTIMAKER 2+

  • STEP 1: Download Cura

    You will need to download a program called Cura in order to convert your STL file into a bot readable file. This is available here:

    http://software.ultimaker.com/

    Once you open the program it will ask you which bot you are using in order to give you a digital visualization of your particular build platform.

  • STEP 2: Import your .stl Click LOAD in the top left hand corner and choose the STL you would like to print.

  • STEP 3: Customize the settings In order for your model to print correctly you will need to customize the settings.

    RESOLUTION: Do you want it to be faster or prettier or a happy medium? This depends on what you will be using your printed object for.

    SUPPPORT STRUCTURESs: Structure apart from the design, made to support the printed structure from unstable printing. This is the important one.

    RAFTS: Like a life raft for your print, this layer of plastic is printed first and sits under your print and keeps it from peeling off the build plate during printing. If can be removed when the print is complete. The raft is useful if your print is long and flat because some warping may occur during printing due to temperature fluctuations.

    SUPPORTS: Supports are what they sound like. They are there to keep your print from becoming a mushy pile. Remember there is no anti gravity device in your bot yet. (disregard if this is the year 3014 and no longer the case) Everywhere printing will occur where there is nothing underneath to hold it up will need to be supported. By checking the support box the program will generate a removable scaffolding for building your print.

    ADVANCED SETTINGS: If you are printing something complicated you should turn down the print speed. Using the EXPERT dropbox choose FULL SETTINGS and the dialog box on the left hand side will change. Now you have full control over all of the settings. Find the PRINT SPEED MM/S option and adjust the speed. I believe the default is 50 mm/s for more complicated objects I suggest 25mm/s but you have to experiment for what works for your print.

  • STEP 4: Export your file Export the file to the SD card by clicking the SD card in the top left corner. It will give you an estimation of the print time and material usage.

  • STEP 5: Print your model Print your model by thlecting the name of your design file by rotating the knob and selecting the item. Insert the SD card. Use the toggle to select print and push in on the toggle button! Use the toggle to select your file. The printer will spring to life and align itself only to pause for preheat for a few minutes. You can monitor the heating progress in the bar on the screen.

  • STEP 6: Remove the printed piece Gently pull your piece off the platform. Make sure the platform has cooled first otherwise you may get some warping on your print while pulling it off the platform. If it is difficult to pull off remove the glass platform from the printer by turning the two front metal tabs toward you.

  • STEP 7: Clean the surface Make sure you remove any plastic strings and extra glue so the next person has a clean platform.

CNC LASER CUTTER

BASIC IINFORMATION

• What is a Laser Cutter?

  The laser cutter is one of the most useful tools in a modern shop. Laser cutters work by directing a very powerful laser beam, at a precise focal length, onto a material which they either cut or etch, depending on how the laser cutter has been set up. Laser cutters cut materials similarly to other computer controlled tools, only they do so using a beam of light as opposed to a blade. When laser cutters are set up to etch something on the surface of a material, they operate like a printer, literally using their laser beam to etch an image onto something.

GO TO SECTIONAL CONTENTS GO TO HOMEPAGE

MANOEUVRE

• Using the Laser Cutter

  • STEP 1: Load the design file using any designing softwares.

  • STEP 2: Select the Print option from the File dropdown menu.

  • STEP 3: Select the laser cutter from Select printer.

  • STEP 4: Chose the required power and speed

    The Power setting determines exactly that. You can control how much power will be applied to the laser while printing. The more power- the more heat, and the more heat- the greater the chance of fire.

    The speed you choose, determines how fast the laser will travel while cutting. The slower the speeds, the longer the laser sits in each spot, which yields more heat…and I think you see where this is going. It also means that the slower the speed, the deeper the cut or engraving will be.

  • STEP 5: Choose between Vector and Raster options

    Raster tends to be used for engraving things, while vector is much more adept at cutting things out. Raster engraving is quite akin to a normal printer. When you hit print in whatever program you decide to print from, the laser cutter will start at the top of the piece you’re working on, and proceed down to the bottom, while the laser moves from left to right on whatever you’re engraving. The laser turns on and off in rapid succession at whatever points a normal printer would and wouldn’t shoot out ink.

    Vector however goes in a straight line, that will etch much like a knife will cut. To accomplish this, you use slower speeds at equivalent or higher powers then you would in Raster, and turn the laser on and off a bunch of times every second, to the point that your eyes can’t tell it’s even doing it.. It will start at a point on your image, leave the laser on, and continue on the line, tracing the entire image before turning the laser off. This is why it tends to be used for cutting instead of etching.

  • STEP 6: In the Print Preferences, click the “Auto Focus” button. This will ensure the laser is the proper distance away from whatever you’re cutting to get the most accurate cuts.

  • STEP 7: Place the material and set X,Y Coordinates

    Once on, open the case, place your material where ever you plan to cut. This is where the rulers from the image come in handy, hopefully the laser cutter you’re using has built in rulers to help you situate things. (If you’re placing something in the upper left corner, and the bed is raised to high, do the following step first).

    Once everything is placed, you may need to adjust the bed. If you look on the front control panel of the Laser Cutter, there should be a focus button. If you push that, and then the down arrow, you should see the bed lower. Keep lowering the bed until you have enough space that the laser will not come into contact with your materials. Extra space here is fine, we’re going to let the machine focus itself later.

  • STEP 8: [Optional] Test run the design file Click GO with the lid of the laser cutter open. Laser Cutter won’t print with the lid open, so it’s a good way to do a test run on your piece.

  • STEP 9: Switch on the air pump to exhaust the gases produced during cutting
  • STEP 10: Press GO with lid closed to cutted your design file

VINYL CUTTER

BASIC INFORMATION

• What is a Vinyl Cutter?

  The vinyl cutter uses a small knife to precisely cut the outline of a picture into a sheet or piece of vinyl. The knife moves side to side and turns, while the vinyl is moved beneath the knife. What results from the cut process is an image cut into the material. The material is then ‘weeded’ where the excess parts of the picture are removed. It is possible to remove the positive parts, which would give a negative sticker, or you could weed the negative parts, giving a positive sticker. Removing the letters would be like removing the positive, giving a negative image of the word, etc.

GO TO SECTIONAL CONTENTS GO TO HOMEPAGE

MONOEUVRE

• Using the Vinyl Cutter

  • STEP 1: Make the image to cut

    Find or make an image that you want to make into a sticker. You can create an image with Open Office Draw, or Gimp. Other programs can work fine.Your image should be black and white with no gray for best results.

    Save the image as a JPEG The software running the cutter likes to have a jpeg, Scaleable Vector Graphic (.SVG) can work fine as well.

    You could also open with a preffered browser and copy and paste into the cutting program, which is in this case, CutStudio.

  • STEP 2: Open Cut Studio, the software bundled with the cutter.

  • STEP 3: Import your image. It should show up as a grayed out picture.

  • STEP 4: Right click on the image, then choose Trace Image Outline. A dialog box will come up, you can adjust the accuracy of the cuts by adjusting the values. You will see an outline of your image laid on top of the picture.

  • STEP 5: Click the Move button on the upper right to put the outline in the bottom right of the design area. Next, delete the picture.

  • STEP 6: Right click on the picture and choose ‘Properties’. There are three tabs. For size, choose the size that will fit your sample piece of vinyl. The cutter measures in millimeters. If you need to rotate the image to fit the sticker size, you can do that in the ‘Rotation’ field. If you haven’t already, to put a box, oval or circle around your image to make it easier to separate later.

  • STEP 7: Set the hardware

    Check the display. It shoulde say Sheer unloaded intil you engage the pressure roller. Then you will need to use the down arrow to tell the machine you have loaded a piece or a roll. If you choose piece, the cutter head will move sideways, measure the space between the rollers, then it will move the piece out, the back in, then to its original position. This process used the ‘eyes’ to measure the height of the piece. you then should be able to see the readout on the display of the pieces measurements.

  • STEP 8: Press the Cut button on the icon bar.

    The cutter head should then move side to side and the vinyl should move back and forth. When the design is cut, you can use the arrow keys to move the vinyl out of the machine. There is a groove on the front of the machine. Use a razor knife in this groove to cut the piece off. Your design piece is ready.

    

AUTODESK EAGLE

BASIC INFORMATION

• What is Autodesk Eagle?

  EAGLE is a scriptable electronic design automation application with schematic capture, printed circuit board layout, auto-router and computer-aided manufacturing features. EAGLE stands for Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor (German: Einfach Anzuwendender Grafischer Layout-Editor) and is developed by CadSoft Computer GmbH. Cadsoft Computer GmbH was acquired by Autodesk Inc. in 2016. Popular DIY electronics site SparkFun uses EAGLE, and releases the EAGLE files for boards designed in-house. Other notable users include Adafruit, Arduino and Dangerous Prototypes.

  EAGLE contains a schematic editor, for designing circuit diagrams. Parts can be placed on many sheets and connected together through ports. The PCB layout editor allows back annotation to the schematic and auto-routing to automatically connect traces based on the connections defined in the schematic. EAGLE saves Gerber and PostScript layout files and Excellon and Sieb & Meyer drill files. These standard files are accepted by many PCB fabrication companies.

GO TO SECTIONAL CONTENTS GO TO HOMEPAGE

MANOEUVRE

• Designing a circuit

  • STEP 1: Create a project

    In the control panel, under the “Projects” tree, right click on the directory where you want the project to live (by default EAGLE creates an “eagle” directory in your home folder), and select “New Project”.

  • STEP 2: Create a schematic

    The project folder will house both our schematic and board design files (and eventually our gerber files too). To begin the design process, we need to lay out a schematic.

    To add a schematic to a project folder, right-click the folder, hover over “New” and select “Schematic”.

  • STEP 3: Add parts to schematic

    The ADD tool – (on the left toolbar, or under the Edit menu) – is what you’ll use to place every single component on the schematic. The ADD tool opens up a library navigator, where you can expand specific libraries and look at the parts it holds. With a part selected on the left side, the view on the right half should update to show both the schematic symbol of the part and its package.

  • STEP 4: Wire up the schematic

    To use the NET tool, hover over the very end of a pin (as close as possible, zoom in if you have to), and left-click once to start a wire. Now a green line should be following your mouse cursor around. To terminate the net, left-click on either another pin or a net.

  • STEP 5: Naming and Labelling

    Next, we’ll use the NAME tool – (left toolbar, or under the Edit menu) – to name each of the six nets. With the NAME tool selected, clicking on a net should open a new dialog. Start by naming the net connected to the top, GND pin. Delete the auto-generated name (e.g. N$14), and replace it with “GND” (sans the quotation marks). This should result in a warning dialog, asking you if you want to connect this net to all of the other nets named “GND” (that would be every net connected to a GND symbol). Thanks for looking out for us EAGLE, but in this case Yes we do want to connect GND to GND.

    After naming a net, you should use the LABEL tool – – to add a text label. With the LABEL tool selected, left-click on the net you just named. This should spawn a piece of text that says “GND”, left-click again to place the label down right on top of your net.

• Creating Board from Schematic

  • STEP 1: Switch to board view

    To switch from the schematic editor to the related board, simply click the Generate/Switch to Board command – (on the top toolbar, or under the File menu) – which should prompt a new, board editor window to open. All of the parts you added from the schematic should be there, stacked on top of eachother, ready to be placed and routed.

  • STEP 2: Selecting from overlapping objects

    Normally, you use the mouse’s left-click to select an object (whether it’s a trace, via, part, etc.), but when there are two parts overlapping exactly where you’re clicking, EAGLE doesn’t know which one you want to pick up. In cases like that, EAGLE will pick one of the two overlapping objects, and ask if that’s the one you want. If it is, you have to left-click again to confirm. If you were trying to grab one of the other overlapping objects, right-click to cycle to the next part. EAGLE’s status box, in the very bottom-left of the window, provides some helpful information when you’re trying to select a part.

  • STEP 3: Autorouting

    You can try loading up EAGLE’s Autorouter to see if it can finish the job. Open up the autorouter, don’t worry about these other tabs for now, just click OK.

    The autorouter won’t always be able to finish the job, so it’s still important to understand how to manually route pads (plus manual routes look much better). After running the autorouter, check the bottom-left status box to see how it did. If it says anything other than “OptimizeN: 100% finished”, you’ve still got some work to do. If your autorouter couldn’t finish the job, try turning Routing Grid down from 50mil 10mil.

    There are tons of optimizations and settings to be made in the autorouter. If you want to dig deeper into the subject, consider checking out EAGLE’s manual where an entire chapter is devoted to it.

  • STEP 4: Saving the file

    While saving the file, we have to select different layers and save them separately for PCB Millng. First from the layers button, select the schematics layer and save it with the .png extension. then select the board layer, by selecting the ‘Dimensions’ layer and save it using the .png extension

PCB SOLDERING

MOVOEUVRE

• Soldering a PCB

  • STEP 1: Clean the tip

    When the iron hot, start with cleaning the tip to remove old solder from it. You can use a wet sponge, a copper scouring pad or something similar.

  • STEP 2: Tinning the tip

    Before you start soldering, you should tin the tip of the soldering iron. This makes the tip transfer heat faster and thereby making the soldering easier and faster. If you get any droplets of tin on your tip, use a sponge, a copper scouring pad or just shake it off.

  • STEP 3: Soldering two wires

    Start with tinning the two wires. It is useful to have something to hold one wire for you. Place the tip of the iron on the wire and let it heat for a second or three. Then add some solder until the wire is soaked with solder. If it is a thick wire, you should turn up the heat on your iron (if possible) to make the wire heat up faster. Repeat the tinning process on the other wire. Now place the two tinned wires together and hold still while heating them with the soldering iron so that the tin on both of the wires melt together.

  • STEP 4: Soldering on PBC hole

    Put the tip of the iron on the pad so that it heats both the lead of the part and the pad of the circuit board. Heat them for a second or so before you apply solder. Remove the iron and the solder wire and inspect your solder joint to see if it looks okay

MOULDING AND CASTING

BASIC INFORMATION

• What is moulding?

  Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This itself may have been made using a pattern or model of the final object. A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material. The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is the counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object. Piece-molding uses a number of different molds, each creating a section of a complicated object. This is generally only used for larger and more valuable objects. The manufacturer who makes molds is called the moldmaker. A release agent is typically used to make removal of the hardened/set substance from the mold easier. Typical uses for molded plastics include molded furniture, molded household goods, molded cases, and structural materials.

• What is Casting?

  Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods.

MONOEUVRE

SCREEN PRINTING

BASIC INFORMATION

• What is screen printing?

  Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of polyester or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance. Ink is forced into the mesh openings by the fill blade or squeegee and by wetting the substrate, transferred onto the printing surface during the squeegee stroke. As the screen rebounds away from the substrate the ink remains on the substrate. It is also known as silk-screen, screen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multicoloured image or design. There are various terms used for what is essentially the same technique. Traditionally the process was called screen printing or silkscreen printing because silk was used in the process prior to the invention of polyester mesh. Currently, synthetic threads are commonly used in the screen printing process. The most popular mesh in general use is made of polyester. There are special-use mesh materials of nylon and stainless steel available to the screen printer. There are also different types of mesh size which will determine the outcome and look of the finished design on the material.

MOVOEUVRE
