Good idea! I'm sure my wife would like to make some of these. If you don't have a 3D Printer, then I'm sure you could get creative and use cans and bottles for the molds.
- Ham It Up commented on Bob-Bee's instructable 3D Printed Bike for Toddler (walking Bike)View Instructable »
Hello Bob, that is an incredible build! I can't believe that this is your first build. You have excelled past a large majority of 3D Printers that have been at this for a while including myself! I can make some complex prints, now, but that was after many trials and errors.I'm also impressed with the fact that you learned how to use a 3D modeling app quickly to produce your final model. You also picked a good printer to complete your project.Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing some of your new creations in the near future!

- Ham It Up made the instructable Pink and Green Domino Machine IIView Instructable »
Greg, I just read your comment from my air pump posting. Sorry to hear about your dad suffering from dementia. My dad was in the early stages of that disease but his heart gave out long before he succumbed to the latter stages of the disease. He lived to age 92. Now I understand how you have the skills and knowledge to crank out all these 3D projects. I have two friends that I went to school with and a brother-in-law that are at the "genius" level. I'd say you fit that category easily. That was very clever to use the trombone tool to determine the pipe lengths for your calliope. Another challenge had to be the placement of the teeth on the cylinder.Well, I finally finished a re-make of your Domino Machine. I took the liberties of adding a headlight using an LED. I printed the ho…

Greg,I just finished making the larger of the two air pumps. I don't have any balloons to test but it is blowing air out of the tube.I made the gaskets out of heavy weight paper. I want to make the pipe organ and try it out there once I get some balloons.I'm curious how you decided on the lengths of the pipes on the little organ to produce the desired notes. Also, were or are yousome kind of design engineer? You are definitely gifted at being able to think outside the box. You also have a well defined graspof electrical circuits.Anyway, I'm almost finished making your domino machine. I'll post a photo of it in the next day or two. Thanks for all the creative projects!

My wife and I like it! She wants me to print her one. Very creative design. You're literally thinking and designing outside the box!Gary
- Ham It Up commented on Inventor22's instructable FindyBot3000 - a Voice Controlled OrganizerView Instructable »
Hello Inventor22 !Very nice system. You're definitely creatively thinking outside the box. My wife and I just purchased several small parts storage bins just today to store all my electronic parts, hardware and 3D parts. I'll start ordering all the electronic components to get started on this project. I'm working on other projects at this time so I probably won't get started on this one until FEB 2020. I look forward to your solution for Google's misinterpretation of numerics. In the interim, I'll have to just label all the drawers for now.Thanks for this innovative solution and I look forward to seeing your future projects!Gary

Very nice design. I built a 10 inch Dobsonian telescope using a cardboard tube.I really like the details and professional look of your finished scope!
- Ham It Up commented on indoorgeek's instructable FM Radio
Thanks for your response! I really like the clean design of your enclosure.The painted front panel looks like you used white filament. Nice job!Thanks for the details on the parts! I'll start ordering my parts, today oneBay.
View Instructable »Hello Bild,Your help would be much appreciated.I posted a couple of questions for indoorgeek that created this project. I want to get started on building this project by ordering parts, as soon as possible,on eBay. So, I wonder if you can help me with the same questions that I posted for indoorgeek.Did you use the the 1.3 inch or 0.96 inch OLED? Also, is the 3 watt speaker you'reusing 8 ohms?Congratulations on getting yours working and thanks for posting the pinout corrections.Thanks,Gary

Excellent project and nice clean design!I've been wanting to build an FM radio using the RDA5807 module. I just purchased a new 3d printer this past summer so that makes for good timing to build the case.I'll start printing the enclosure while I wait for the internal parts to arrive.Thanks!

- Ham It Up commented on gzumwalt's instructable RIP SkeletonView Instructable »
Greg,Thanks for your quick response!Watching your video, confirms that 3 volts provides enough "juice" to runthat 6 volt motor, smoothly.I now have all the parts printed and have ordered two N20 motors on eBay.I'm building two of these boxes(coffins!).Greg, one of my wife's cousin's married a Glen Zumwalt and they livedin Wichita, Kansas. He had a degree in Aeronautical Engineering andwas a professor at WSU. A very brilliant guy. They're both deceased now. I thought you might be related to Glen since that's a rare name.Here's a link to a write up in the WSU Alumni magazine about Glen and hisachievements including inventions. http://wsu.wichita.edu/the-shocker/story.php?eid=6...Anyway, I'll make a post when I get one of my RIP Skeleton's working.I'm very impressed with your desig…

Very nice creative project, Greg!I've noticed you're using a 6 volt motor but your power supply is 3 volts. Will 3 volts drivethat 6 volt motor? I haven't used any of these geared motors in the past. Seems there's a 3 volt version of this same motor. Thanks, in advance, for any clarification on this subject.Gary

- Ham It Up commented on mr_fid's instructable Morse Code for Kids.View Instructable »
Hello Mr Fid,Very nice project! I've been a ham radio operator for years and mostly use morse code only to communicate around the world. I use only 1 watt of power and communicate over the entire world using Morse Code! I wrote an iPhone Morse Code app over 2 years ago as a teaching aid. It's inactive now because I haven't renewed my Apple Developer Contract. Maybe I'll renew it again. Keep on making these great creative projects!_ .... ._ _. _._ ...Gary
- Ham It Up commented on gabbapeople 's instructable IoT Split-flap Weather Forecast Powered by XODView Instructable »
Great project!A friend and I were just talking, recently, about the split-flap boards used at airports and train terminals and how we loved the sound of them when they change their data! I just thought about building one of these just 2 days ago! I can't believe that I received notice, from Instructables of your project, today. Wow, what timing! Thank you for doing all the leg work. I'm thinking about expanding mine into more flaps and programming the arduino to display random known phrases and change the phrases within a short time span. Maybe every 10 or 15 minutes or less. I like your idea of connecting to the internet and retrieving real data. Can you tell me what the original boards used for their flaps? Are they made out of aluminum or thin steel? I know you used acrylic but I'm th…

Can your printer run ABS filament and if so would it be necessary to build an enclosure to maintain a constant temperature?Thanks,Gary
- Ham It Up commented on johnadiamond's instructable Bergen Makerspace Transportable 3D PrinterView Instructable »
John, I'm fairly new to the world of 3d printing but I've used them enough to realize that you did an excellent job of building your printer! Not only that, I can't believe all the work you put into posting all the details.You've practically provided a complete manual on your build. Very excellent work!I belong to the Dallas Makerspace and have access to lots of tools and equipment but I don't know if I have the confidence to build one of your printers, yet.I have a question for you. Can your printer run ABS filament and if so would it be necessary to build an enclosure to maintain a constant temperature?Thanks,Gary

WARNING! PLEASE DO NOT try this method!Wow! You like to live dangerously John! Glad that method worked for you and you're still with us in one piece. It's not one that I would endorse or encourage people to use. Any volatile liquids or gases trapped in an isolated space can easily explode and of course explosions can cause bodily injury or injuries.

Thanks for your positive comment!In my rush to get this Instructable written up in order to enter it in the "MacGyver" contest, I left out the clean up around the rim and removal of any rust. Thanks for reminding me of that step. That's something that should be looked at before inflating the tire.I hadn't seen or searched this method of inflating a small tubeless tire in the past. It's an original idea for me and became a solution when I had this problem with a wheelbarrow tubeless tire about 3 or 4 years ago. Unfortunately, there are so many people in the world that the odds of someone coming up with the same or similar idea is extremely high especially with today's world populations. That makes it difficult to come up with an "original" idea before someone else.An ex…

- Ham It Up commented on darbinorvar's instructable Concrete LED Light CubeView Instructable »
Linn,Another great idea using concrete! I like playing around with LEDs. I'll make a couple of these. I thought about making a cavity just large enough, in the top, concrete block where I could install a push button on/off switch. Install a small piece of tubing (plastic) during the molding process for the wiring to run through. I would glue the switch in place. (polyurethane glue!)Gary
- Ham It Up commented on darbinorvar's instructable Concrete Passive Speaker Cube
Hi darbinorvar,This is the first video, of yours, that I've viewed. Very, very good job! I have four major points to make about your project and presentation.First, I want to compliment you on your creativeness and "thinking outside the box". Most of us, as adults, lose that skill but can renew it by building projects like yours and others who present their ideas on Instructables.Second, your project lends itself to experimenting and renewing our "thinking outside the box" skills along with learning something about the physics of sound. One could change the shape, depth, and size, of the concrete cube and its enclosure, on a trial and error basis, to determine which parameters give the best or desired results.Third, your mechanical skills are excellent! I like your woo…

Hey Greg,It's been over a year since I built one of your domino machines for the first time. I just finished building two more this past week.I built one for my wife. She enjoys displaying it on a shelf. The other one is for our friend's 4 year old daughter for Christmas. I installed a 1500 rpm motor in that one. It's super fast. I like the faster speed.Thanks again for your great designs.
