Those who know me know that I also like to fly drones and have even built or modified one or two myself. Since the beginning of 2003, the European drone regulations have also applied in Switzerland. It is therefore all the more important to familiarise yourself with the rules and…
Off to the vertical with Lego Duplo!
Those who know me a little better know that my fascination for Lego, Duplo and especially for Lego technique has been preserved until today. Once a year, I have to assemble at least one of these big Lego Technik kits. Here is a small, funny and entertaining hack how to…
Drone crash over Zurich
A post-drone crashed into the lake via Zurich during the test phase. Of course a found media devour ? I have now decided to add my mustard. I am a great advocate of automated aircrafts and vehicles and have been waiting for autonomous passenger vehicles since 2001. Some drivers drive…
Volumetric 3D Printing
Yesterday I had one of those moments of disappointment again, which one as an inventor unfortunately has again and again. I read an article reporting that a patent had been filed for volumetric 3D printing. At first I was very disappointed, because I thought about it a few years ago….
Advanced 3D Printing :: Reinforcing Threads
Basically it has to be noted here that it is not really worth to model threads for 3D printing in plastic. 😉 Sure, there are plugins for many CADs, so that you can model threads, but the only method I would try is 3D printing in metal. But I suppose…
3d printing tools
If you print a lot of 3D, you surely know the problem that you want to run a job, but you don’t know if there is still enough filament in the printer. All slicer software I know adds a comment line in the gCode file with the expected length in…
What is anisotropy?
“Anisotropy” means that the properties of a material depend on the direction in which the force is applied. The 3D printing process tends by nature to build up a weakness along the Z axis because the connections between the layers are not so strong. This peculiarity of the 3D printing…
IKEA Tradfri Hallway function / Stairway function.
Connect the first switch to the hub. Reset the second switch to the factory settings, Hold both switches close together. Press and hold both pairing buttons simultaneously – the pairing light will illuminate. Press and hold the pairing buttons until the pairing light turns off. Enjoy your multi-controller group This…
There is not only the filament calculator
I don’t just like 3D printing, programming, surreal photographs (belichtet.ch) or new technologies like Deep Learning or Machine Learning. No, I also like being in nature, watching birds, picking mushrooms or camping. And, I also like to eat 😉 Of course this can be combined with a forest fondue 😉…
I never really left ;-)
Even if it was quiet here, and no one has heard from me, I have never really been away. It just happened a lot in the meantime and I did a lot of other things and didn’t find the time to blog anymore. Now I want to change that again….
Ben learnt the mechanical craft from scratch in the workshop and then as a technical merchant. He then worked for a few years as a database programmer.
Then he studied mechanical engineering.
And he has completed some CAS trainings in Data Science.
Today he develops special machines for a special machine construction company in Switzerland.
In 2014 he founded the FabLab at Winterthur, Switzerland.
He's main hobbies are his girlfriend, inventing new things, testing new gadgets, the FabLab Winti, 3d-Printing, geocaching, playing floorball, take some photos (www.belichtet.ch) and mountain biking.
