Thing-O-Matic SCIENCE! with Ed Nisley
Ed Nisley’s blog “The Smell of Molten Projects In The Morning” is all kinds of sciency awesome. Ed’s blog is essentially his online super-well annotated laboratory notebook. While I jump and clap excitedly as a bunny appears in my Thing-O-Matic,1 Ed is writing stuff like this:
I wanted to figure out just what was going on inside the Extruder Head, which means some instrumentation was in order, which meant I had to figure out how to attach a set of thermocouples to the Core. This picture shows one approach: epoxy a set of small brass tubes to various parts of the MK5 Extruder Head.
Keep up the awesome work Ed!
