A 3D-Printed Parametric Variable Capacitor

A 3D-Printed Parametric Variable Capacitor

Since I am planning to resume this blog, I thought I’d share a fairly recent project. For a magnetic loop antenna build, I needed a variable capacitor that can handle relatively high voltages. These can be somewhat hard to come across today, and you have to work with what you can find on eBay voltage and capacitance wise. That’s why I came up with a variable capacitor that can be mostly 3D-printed, with the addition of some hardware store parts….

Lawnmower repaired with 3D-Printing

Lawnmower repaired with 3D-Printing

I recently repaired our lawnmower and thought I’d share some pictures of it. The gasoline powered push mower is front wheel driven via ring gears that are part of the plastic wheels.As you can see in this picture, some of the teeth inside one wheel stripped which is really annoying because the driving power cuts out half of the time. To fix this, I decided to replicate this section of the ring gear with my 3D printer and glue it…
