Inventor and engineer Shane Wighton of StuffMadeHere reveals his latest project: Jigzilla. This machine is capable of solving the toughest of puzzles, even one consisting of 5,000 pieces. It basically consists of a giant table with a robot designed to move puzzle pieces around, complete with a vacuum system that can rotate them as needed.
Pieces are picked up using a small suction cup via a compressed air vacuum with belts powered by small motors on each side of the table moving them to the correct places. A small camera on the robot helps it identify pieces and where best to use its suction cup that is furthest from all edges. However, a telecentric lens was needed to help the robot view the pieces as if they were infinitely far away to compensate for the distortion. Speaking of puzzles, there’s already a 3D-printed robot designed to solve Wordle puzzles.
- Resume Printing Function: Ender 3 has the ability to resume printing even after a power outage or lapse occurs.
- Easy and Qucik Assembly: It comes with several assembled parts, you only need about 2 hours to assemble 20 nuts well.
- Advanced Extruder Technology: Upgraded extruder greatly reduces plugging risk and bad extrustion; V-shape with POM wheels make it move noiseless,...
