Now that things have settled down somewhat from the renovations and moving house, the urge to get back into sim racing has strengthened. The previous blog post showing the arcade machine design I’ve been working on had me thinking. ‘Can I put together a temporary setup to tide me over until I have the space […]

Sim racing is a hobby of mine but I haven’t had the time or the space to get involved with it for a few years. The recent house move has me thinking I should get back into it so I’ve been working on a design for a frame to house all the components necessary. Considerations

One of my favourite projects from my time at university was the industrial gearbox design from my third year. At last it was a chance to apply the mathematical knowledge acquired in earlier classes to a project that an actual mechanical engineer could be faced with on the job. The assignment specs included operating conditions,

The idea to reuse empty filament spools as parts storage isn’t new. When I first started 3D printing I recall seeing that people had made curved containers that fit within a spool and thought that was a nifty idea. I’d always thought I’d make one for myself once I had a few empty spools laying

Lannix Design is run from a residential home so space is limited at the current address. The workshop is under the house which is open to the elements and not suitable for having the office set up down there. While all the 3D printers operate inside enclosures, it makes things difficult having the design computer

Tripod End Table Project Sometimes you just need an end table. I can’t say that these small tables are a passion of mine. I’m not sure that anyone would say that. This one was designed and built out of a need that arose after my baby son arrived. But let’s not get into that. I

Let’s go back to 2016, a time before my son came along, before my partner came along and when I was still a struggling uni student tasked with designing an industrial gearbox given specific parameters from Wiji, the man in charge of the Design of Machine Elements unit. 3D printing was still a relatively new

The first prototype part for our offshoot business collaboration, R-Spec, has been designed and 3D printed using the 3D scans we produced a few weeks ago. My business partner Michael has had this Ford Ranger part in mind for quite some time and has already produced a few parts for his Ranger in his garage

Sometimes you need to 3D print something that’s just that little bit too big for the standard Prusa MK3S print bed. I thought I’d try out a Creality CR10 since they are relatively cheap and the guy I know who has one seems to believe they go alright. Check out our guide on replacing the

Building the extruder Welcome to part 4 of the Prusa build guide! This is a big one! It’s now time to assembly the business end of your machine. The extruder assembly is where the filament is melted and placed onto the print bed to become your 3D printed part. Luckily Prusa have wired up all
