A makerspace in South Orlando
The first workbench for the MakerFX Shop has been completed this past week and it was a blast to build. A few members did research and settled upon a work bench design by Ron Paulk (link to plans: http://www.paulkhomes.com/order-plans.html) Normally the workbench breaks down into multiple, easily transportable to job sites, but for the shop itContinue Reading Paulk Style Workbench for the Woodshop Zone @ MakerFX

These printers are available for use by members and are used during our 3D printing classes. If you would like to learn about 3D printing, you can get started with ourContinue Reading DeltaMaker Printers at MakerFX
Before installing the electronics, I want to get you a sneak peek of the fully assembled OpenRC Formula 1 car. Below are the main body parts assembled before being attached to the chassis. The helmet on the main body cover was another Thingiverse creation. This is the fully assembled car less the motor and electronics.Continue Reading OpenRC Formula 1 Car – Full Assembly Preview

While browsing Thingiverse, I ran across the OpenRC project and the 3D printed Formula 1 race car. Further research found that Daniel Noree designed this car as well as 2 vehicles and 2 quad rotors. TheseContinue Reading 3D Printing the OpenRC Projects
