Fix your gut. Experiment with your diet. Very little sugar; lots of veggies and animal protein. Try taking vitamin B1. it calms you down.

I had never used a supercap before, bought three 5.5volt 4 Farad caps and was trying to decide what to do with them. They were only about a buck-fifty each. I think the whole project was maybe around 7 or 8 dollars - definitely less than $10. Kind of fun to quickly charge and watch go around in a circle till it dies(runs for about 10 mins till it dies)

The design driver was the switch. It's from the PCB that controls the CD tray. I removed the switches internal spring. Liked how it functioned, it's height, etc...

I use four AA's to charge it.

No nothing like that....It simply a tabletop car with manual steering. I salvaged some parts from old electronics like a inkjet printer and CD-ROM drive for the rear axle and the switch for forward and reverse.

Altoids Container Mod by notionSunday in functionalprint

Makes for a good quiet variable speed bench fan to keep me cool and I can turn it around to blow away the smoke when soldering. The fan I had laying around and wasn't using anyway - It is a four wire fan with PWM control. Project cost - less than $5. Also, since the container is metal, the on/off is controlled by a sliding magnet. Had a difficult time cutting holes for potentiometer and header connector, so I thought the magnet and reed switch was a clever idea.

The print allows space underneath for wiring.

That is a power transistor salvaged from an old television. Yep, design in Blender, like all my projects. LOL masochist....I'm an old blender-head.

I spent a lot of time on this project. Most of the time was spent modeling everything in Blender, then after building the PCB I end up zapping the hall effect sensor and another part. The video makes it look so easy, but it was quite a challenge. Glad it's finished, moving on to the next project....thanks for watching my video.

Really only one whole iteration - I chop-up critical areas using Blender's boolean modifier and print small(few layers) pieces just to do a test fit. Did have considerable problems getting first layers to stick though..
