I made another prototype using the 3D-pen + tissue paper technique. The Otto Lilienthal "Normalgleiter" turned out quite good. It does glide OK which is good enough to demonstrate the first flight experiments to kids. #fediLZ #3dprint #3dprinting #stemeducation […] [Original post on chaos.social]

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@lcamtuf/116785283147249092 Looks like a great book if it would be titled "the world according to AI". Just made a quick search on amazon for "100000 WHYs". The whole first page of search results is books with almost identical names published in 2026

I did a deep dive into bristlebots as an educational DIY project. This is my first tutorial on the topic: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/beebot It’s a bee doing the waggle dance! It uses bent paper clips instead of a bristle brush. That way, you can play […] [Original post on chaos.social]

Here is the biplane test flight

2/2 I went outside trying my biplane setup and realised the single plane seems to perform better. Here is the single plane test flight. see comment below for the biplane test flight #RCplanes #stemeducation #3dprint #3dprinting #diytech #diyprojects #airplanes

My 3D pen wingstructures are really fun to prototype different airplane setups. Here is a quick biplane test. Definitely flies better than the single wing setup. I'd love to try the wright flyer next, using a carnad setup and a drone motor + supercap. #RCplanes […] [Original post on chaos.social]

My paper planes made from tissue paper and a 3D-pen structure are improving. Now I can slide nose weight and wing along a balsa wood stick to trimm the plane correctly. For nose weight I use spacers/screws I had left over from a PC dissassembly. They are perfect […] [Original post on chaos.social]

I am prototyping paper airplanes usinge the idea of 3D-printing directly to thin paper and then cutting the parts for assembly. I also tried using a 3D-pen. Both ways work and the planes fly pretty well. Next up: bigger plane + supercap-motor unit. The idea is […] [Original post on chaos.social]

RE: https://graphics.social/@inspirationgrid/116330185622143969 These paper sculptures are awesome. Would be cool to add fancy back lighting or even animated LEDs to that mix.

Ryan from Wonderfulidea.co adapted my EggBot Idea and made his own experiments. It is an interesting read and his book is a total recommendation: https://wonderfulidea.co/blog/2026/3/26/playing-with-voltpaperscissors-eggbot

super cool!

I am 3d printing stuff with an adaper for motor shafts. The idea is to paint eggs while spinning them fast. Those prints look good so far and spin very smothly. I will make a video of the painting proccess later. #easter #easteregg #easterhegg2026 #3dprinting #makerspace #maker
