Project preview: Useless box

I'm currently working on a small project, more like a gimmick actually;-)
Most people who surfed the web for home made tech gadgets probably came across this one. So the idea isn't mine, the technical design is. 
My interpretation of the useless box:-)
Currently i'm printing and creating parts so hopefully soon there will be a working prototype!

Pipeflow animation macro for Inventor

This video demonstrates my pipeflow macro i build for Autodesk Inventor to visualise a flow in a pipe system. Just for presentation purposes. It was written in VBA, all parts are native Inventor. The entire route, direction, speed and color a customizable. I made this as a final exam for my ACE Mechanical Designer study at CAD College Nijmegen (TEC).

What do you think? 

Business cards box

I had the idea for a while to design a card holder, one with space for more cards then my wallet and of course would be my own design. 3D printing would ofcourse be perfect for this job!
It consists of five printed parts, spring locks, and has one card locked in the backside. I made a personal QR card for this:-)

iMike meets iLogic

Everyone who works frequently with 3D cad software as Autodesk's Inventor, probably has met iMike.

I have used him for years, and he has always been a useful human size reference.

But changing his attitude has often been difficult to do quickly.  So i combined iMike with some iLogic to change his appearance by using some sliders.

See the result above, what do you think?

Logo700 Rendered 3D CAD model

The picture below is a rendered image of a 3D CAD model of my Logo700 chopper made in Autodesk Inventor. The rendering is done in Autodesk Showcase.
Don't know how many hours were spent, but i'm quit satisfied with the result:-)

Rotorhead Logo700 Animation

As shown earlier in a photo rendered picture i made a 3D CAD model of the rotorhead of my Logo700 xxtreme. I used this model to create the following animation which shows how a rotorhead works and how you can steer the helicopter in different directions.
The model is made in Autodesk Inventor 2014, and rendered in Inventor studio.
Editing was done in Apple iMovie. Let me know what you think:-) 

Two RX Battery tray promo

For my Logo 700 xxtreme i designed a quick release battery tray to hold two 2S LiPo batteries.

These two will be connected by a Emcotec DPSI switch to achieve rx power redundancy.  

3D CAD models... Logo xxtreme

At the moment i'm building a 3D CAD model from the Logo 700 exxtreme. It is purely a training exercise to increase my modelling capabilities.

Below you find the first results, the rotohead and the tailrotorcase. They are modeled in Autodesk Inventor 2012 and 2014, and are Ray traced rendered in Autodesk Showcase 2012.
