Print Resist Directly on PCB with Modified Ink
Jet Printer

post from Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog on 19 November 2011 09:12:16 PM. © Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog

Ryan Pourcillie hacked his inkjet printer to have a straight through path so that he could print resist directly onto a copper clad board to make a custom PCB. He then uses special ink in the printer which can act as a resist since the normal ink jet ink would just be eaten away in [...]

How to Make a Granny Knot

post from How to of the Day on 19 November 2011 09:00:00 PM. © How to of the Day

This knot is much like a square knot (also known as the reef knot). However, the difference lies in the fact that a granny knot won't stay done up, so it's not one to use when you want to the knot not to come undone. You can tell that you have a granny knot by the ends leaving perpendicular to the working line.

Larsen Scanner used to Indicate Computer Status

Mike Szczys from Jumptuck has put his larsen scanner to good use by using it as a status indicator on his computer. He is interfacing it to the computer using the parallel port which seems to be a dying port these days.“I decided to finish up my Cylon Eye (Larson Scanner) project by adding [...]

Ikea Helmer has Gone Chinoserie!

post from IKEA Hackers on 19 November 2011 04:34:12 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Ikea Helmer file cabinet, black spray paint, chinese chinoserie image from online and mod podge

Description: I wanted my file cabinet to look less like a file cabinet so I decided to have a little fun with it.

First I sprayed the cabinet a flat black paint, then I googed the word chinese chinoserie online. When I found an image I liked I printed it off on my printer and then took it to the local print store and had them enlarge it to the size of my cabinet. I took off the hardware, placed the image on the cabinet and started mod podging away! Once the cabinet was dry I cut out the drawers and put the hardware back on. Done!!

Another Ikea Maskros Hack

post from IKEA Hackers on 19 November 2011 02:34:55 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Maskros Lighting & Pink & White Poster Board Paint

Description: I wanted to do a gradient color affect on the lighting that was going to go in my daughter's room. She likes color and she's a girly girl so we chose pink. I divided the flowers into 3 groups. I started with a pure hot pink and painted the 1st set, then added some white to create a nice strong pink for the 2nd set of "flowers" and then added lots of white to the pink to create a very pale pink. I decided not to paint the white caps so the lighting would look like pink petals. The project was super easy and I did it over 2 days and only because it took some time for the paint to dry.

See more of the painted Maskros.
