|---|---|
| |
| Status: | built; to be documented |
| Release Date: | Oct 2018 |
| Initiator: | Johannes |
| Team: | Lukas (just case idea & documentation) |
| Materials Used: | Arduino, some wires, DC motor, PLA |
| Tools Used: | 3D printer, soldering iron |
| Software Used: | Fusion 360 |
What's the best way to delete an SD card's contents? Of course - put it into a tiny file shredder and take it back out freshly formatted!
The actual formatting is done by an Arduino microcontroller, but there is a little whirring motor included to give the impression of something more brutal at work.
Known bug: sometimes the shredding won't stop → solution: unplug for several seconds, then plug it in again
Electronics
- motor: ??? (just needed for special effects)
- power supply: ???
- microcontroller/circuit boards: ???
Programming
coming soon
Case
The case was modeled in Fusion 360 and mimics a typical file shredder you might find in an office. Once Johannes was happy with it, he 3D printed it in two parts (main case and baseplate). The print of the main case was paused halfway through to insert most of the components.
The files can be found in our "CommonFiles" Github repository: v2.f3d
Gallery
- build impressions - hover for captions!
rough assembly of the electronics
most components have been inserted in their case mid-print
main case & inner works completed, power supply & base plate still missing
a desktop accessory that every Maker needs!
