"Featured Content Triptych Setup Doc" contains the 3 featured items - image, descriptive text, and button, that you can edit to change the image, text and link/button text as appropriate for this group. If there isn't already a 3-box widget showing on the home page for this group, to display the document, you will need to get someone with Admin rights (one of the Devs or Pauline's team) to add a Wiki Viewer widget for you and insert the url to the document. From then on, you will be able to update the content of that widget by making changes to the document. "Featured Video Setup Doc" lets you embed a video - YouTube, Brightcove, or an image that links to a document somewhere on the site that contains the video - and that can also be put into a Wiki Viewer (in the skinny column) using the url. From then on, that widget can be updated by changing out the image/link or embedded video that is in that document.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/super-glue-gun/w/setup/27007/featured-video-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1c2473db-d186-4f1f-ba0a-563a11fc22cfChristyZfeaturedVideohttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/super-glue-gun/w/setup/27008/featured-content-triptych-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:5bdf7611-bdbc-4bbb-b0bd-768a0b9c50f3ChristyZFeature 1 Sub Title 1 Description for Feature 1 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 1 Feature 2 Sub Title 2 Description for Feature 2 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 2 Feature 3 Sub Title 3 Description for Feature 3 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button 3 Texthttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/super-glue-gun/w/setupWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:4d2f5ce1-92bf-42b4-b289-c13cc43a48bbhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/super-glue-gun/m/managed-videos/18080Sat, 09 Oct 2021 09:07:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f0c7fa47-7403-43cb-a6a5-cd682b38bbb0tariq.ahmadThe Ben Heck Team has finally reached the conclusion of the Super Glue Gun project.

Back to The Ben Heck Show homepage Community Feedback Super Glue Gun See All Episodes www.youtube.com/watch Ben and Karen look through suggestions from anywhere on the element14 community on a segment called Community Feedback. This segment focuses on the Super Glue Gun Build after it just got started. Suggestions include putting a "do not try this at home" warning label when attempting to hook up mains to a breadboard in front of an audience, discussing different loads with their glue gun, and an excel sheet to deal with the non-linearity of thermistors. Community Feedback comes from cherring , tm14 , and mr_widget ! Congratulations you win a Free Ben Heck T-Shirt! cherring was concerned when the team attempted to hook mains up to a breadboard. Ben’s explanation is that he does not consider 120 volts to be that dangerous, when they did the test they made sure that everything was isolated, and that this was the fastest way to hook it up. Karen parses Ben’s explanation by letting the audience know that while it isn’t the safest method, it’s the fastest method, so don’t try this at home. tm14 suggests that the team talks about different types of loads with their Super Glue Gun. The glue gun heater coils have low inductance and are mostly resistive. As they get hotter, their resistance changes. So measuring the cold resistance is not the same as the resistance when it is hot. As Ben explains to Karen, we can’t necessarily know what the current draw actually is. It probably won’t make a difference, since they’re using AC, but if the triac is rated lower than what they need, and they are actually drawing more current than they think they’re going to use, then they could blow out the triac. The real problem with electricity is when electricity has no stopping point. In his designs, mr_widget typically uses 25C NTC thermistors as ambient sensors for oven controllers, while he uses a K thermocouple for the thermal enclosure. He was struck by the non-linearity of the thermistors so he made a spreadsheet, which he offers the team, to help calculate correction factors for Arduino controllers converting the ADC value to a calculated ambient temp.communityfeedbacktbhshttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/super-glue-gun/w/documents/3101/community-feedback-05-super-glue-gun-2Fri, 18 Jan 2019 16:20:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f67f4bf7-6d49-46cf-a906-c8875e53ff62tariq.ahmadelement14's The Ben Heck Show Join the Ben Heck team every week for amazing hacks!

You'll get a free Ben Heck Shirt if you hear your name on Community Feedback! Ben and Karen respond to feedback from Community Members give on their Super Glue Gun. Feedback includes using a 3D pen to see how it moves the filament, using a worm gear motor from a CD drive and replacing the trigger with a solenoid actuator, using a dremel saw as a gear, and replacing metal parts with a simple post and a sleeve. Community Feedback comes from tm14 and 11treehugger11 ! Congratulations you win a Free Ben Heck T-Shirt! tm14 recommended that they buy a 3D pen and see how it moves the filament. He suggests using a worm gear motor from a CD drive, keeping the original glue gun feeder, but replacing the trigger with a solenoid actuator using a hammering action. Ben doesn’t think there is enough power with this because worm gears are pretty wimpy as all they are used to do is move a read head back and forth. The idea of worm gear is good because you’d have a lot of constant pressure along the piece instead of just one contact point, although that’s more gearing that could get gummed up if there was a problem. 11treehugger11 suggests flipping everything around. Instead of finding the perfect gear to fit on the perfect motor, put the gear on the idler shaft. The gear could be tensioned right against the shaft of the motor. He also suggests trying a dremel saw as a gear. It looked to him like they were smashing the glue instead of gripping it to feed. A sharper, thin saw or sanding blade might “bite” into the glue better. Ben thinks this could work if it went slowly because the teeth would bite into it and then push forward. tm14 suggests that they reconsider the metal parts used on the Super Glue Gun because it may be overkill and that their weight would add to the shipping costs of the final product. Instead of bearing, he suggests using a simple post and a sleeve like they use to use in VCRs as tape guides. Ben thinks this is something they could try. The bearings simplified what they did the first time, but they could cost reduce further by taking a nylon spacer and putting it onto a steel post, and using that to push the stick in.tbhssuper glue gunkaren corbeilltheheckwithkarenben heckcommunityfeedbacktbhs
