As the team comes to the end of its long-term builds, it’s time to make a tough decision: What should they axe? Which product can more easily be taken into production? Join Ben, Felix and James Ray from AVID as the group discusses the viability of the mini pinball game, Super Glue Gun and their […]
Karen and Ben break out the pencils and go back to the drawing board to redesign their super glue gun. After changing the auto stand in response to feedback from the element14 Community, the team is looking at how best to fit together the extruder and electronics. They also need to decide on the best […]
The team has heard your pleas for change: They’ve decided it’s time to revisit the Super Glue Gun’s auto stand. After mocking up the design, the group realized their best bet is to fire Autodesk Fusion 360 back up, change the mechanism and design a new 3D model. In other words, it’s back to the […]
The Justice League promotional rollout just got a little more wonderful. Capping off “Cyborg and Wonder Woman Week” is a new Wonder Woman-centric “First Look.” The two-minute featurette explores Diana of Themyscira’s role in the League, and how she helps assemble the team of superheroes. There’s also a ton of new footage featuring her in action. Watch the Justice […]
The super glue gun project is starting to come together. After designing the automatically deploying stand, the team is now combining it with the trigger so that it can deploy when you grab onto it using capacitive touch sensing. Putting together these mechanisms means joining up the code for the extrusion using the ATTiny20 microcontroller […]
Is Ben over-engineering the Super Glue Gun? Working on an idea from Felix, Ben prototypes the automatic deploying kickstand for the super glue gun build, and develops code for the ATTiny microcontroller for servo control. Though all is not as straightforward as it seems! Ben discovers the intricacies of the processor from the hardware’s datasheets […]
Closing up wounds typically calls for sutures or staples, but neither are able to create a complete seal. And when it comes to internal injuries that are harder to get to and wounds on organs that move a significant amount, such as lungs, treatment becomes even more difficult. Sealants offer a solution to those problems, […]

Now that the team’s making progress with the electronics for the handle design, Ben is working with Autodesk Fusion 360 to create the model for the 3D printer to house the trigger and protoboard. The rest of the glue gun case also needs to be modeled; Fusion 360 helps by being able to import some […]
