3D Printed Cantilever Tool Box (Weekend Project)

This is a mostly printed cantilevered toolbox, designed by me. It features 2 lockable compartments and an optional hind leg for stability. The walls and bottoms of the box are purposely made very thick for added durability and drop resistance.

The entire kit can be assembled with an assortment pack of m6 bolts and the tolerances are very large to make this printable on imprecise printers.

You will need a bed at least 300mm bed size to print the toolbox however, I’m sure it would assemble well even if it were split into parts.

Here is a video of it in action! Please leave a like or comment on youtube if you like the design. Thank you.

Welcome to my blog!

Hi I’m Aaron, I like to build robots

This is my first blog post on my new site, hosted through GitHub. This site will contain blog posts about my various projects (successes and failures).

I had a blog before (afchacks.wordpress.com) but it’s hosted through wordpress and is not as flexible as using GitHub. Here I can create blog posts using Markdown, textile, or html easily. I can even write posts from the command line. I may add those projects from my previous blog to this blog for reference.

I am passionate about studying complex systems such as robotics, simulation, code-quality assurance, automotive drivetrain, railway systems, VR gaming, etc…

My posts will be technical in nature and will either be about projects I am working on, past projects, potential future projects, or just my thoughts about a particular piece of technology or industry.

Sample Data

Markdown (or Textile), Liquid, HTML & CSS go in. Static sites come out ready for deployment. This will automatically deploy to my website!

These are just a few of the available configuration options. Many configuration options can either be specified as flags on the command line, or alternatively (and more commonly) they can be specified in a _config.yml file at the root of the source directory. Jekyll will automatically use the options from this file when run. For example, if you place the following lines in your _config.yml file.

The Jekyll gem makes a jekyll executable available to you in your Terminal window. You can use this command in a number of ways.

This site aims to be a comprehensive guide to Jekyll. We’ll cover topics such as getting your site up and running, creating and managing your content, customizing the way your site works and looks, deploying to various environments, and give you some advice on participating in the future development of Jekyll itself.

Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory containing raw text files in various formats, runs it through a converter (like Markdown) and our Liquid renderer, and spits out a complete, ready-to-publish static website suitable for serving with your favorite web server. Jekyll also happens to be the engine behind GitHub Pages, which means you can use Jekyll to host your project’s page, blog, or website from GitHub’s servers for free.

Throughout this guide there are a number of small-but-handy pieces of information that can make using Jekyll easier, more interesting, and less hazardous. Here’s what to look out for.

If you come across anything along the way that we haven’t covered, or if you know of a tip you think others would find handy, please file an issue and we’ll see about including it in this guide.

The front matter is where Jekyll starts to get really cool. Any file that contains a YAML front matter block will be processed by Jekyll as a special file. The front matter must be the first thing in the file and must take the form of valid YAML set between triple-dashed lines.
