The DoES Tower – a misuse of trust and a 3D printer.
At Def Proc we were excited to hear that as a part of the Build Your Own exhibition. DoES was lent an Ultimaker 2 Extended 3D printer to kick start a 3D prosthetics group where people who needed prosthesis could build there own as part of the exhibition. Primarily whilst...
Krate & Co
Krateandco.com approached DefProc looking for someone to laser engrave client images into their clear acrylic trainer boxes which would later be used for commercial purposes. @Krateandco originally asked for 100 crates to be laser engraved, but due to the clients quota changing in total 140 crates where required. Def Proc...
2D laserable outlines from 3D CAD solids
I’ve been creating in Onshape much more recently, even creating 3D models of items to laser cut. At some point though, I have to export the outline of the sheet shape, so the laser can cut the outlines, and I need to extract that from the model some how. This...
Nerf Range and MFUKLC

It's a Cracker
It seems like a kind of tradition to do a 5 minute project for Christmas. Last year’s cheertree is back up in DoES Liverpool and has now been extended by MCQN to draw pictures on the front of FACT. And it’s also running the christmas tree lights in my house....
A Fully Parametric Hob Knob
It’s a user generate-able knob to operate a stove-top hob, rather than a fully configurable biscuit — sorry! When you move into new rented accommodation, there are all sorts of challenges that aren’t obvious from the initial viewing. But one that I did know about from the offset was that...
Rack Mount TLRN goes to Germany
After a successful installation at both OggCamp 2013 and FACT’s Cloudmaker: Making Minecraft Real exhibition, TLRN — the three wire hanging crane is next to be installed as part of the Public Engineering project that links Bochum and Liverpool. When Ellesmere port won the Vauxhall/Opel contract to build new Astras,...
Maker Faire 14 - Enchanted Toys
A much more stripped back stall for DoES Liverpool for this years event. As there seems to a bit of an Internet of Things (IoT) speciality at DoES, the table showed a selection of devices that interact with the internet in some way. Alongside a newly re-designed WhereDial and the...
