DIY LED Ring Light for your Digital Camera
November 24th, 2009 by diyblogger 1 comment »
“Ring light is basically a light that is placed around the objective. In close-up and macro photography it covers the subject with even light that seems to come from all around the lense.

DIYLILCNC, a open hardware CNC mill
November 18th, 2009 by diyblogger No comments »
“Artists Chris Reilly and Taylor Hokanson appear to be getting some impressive results from their DIYLILCNC. They certainly aren’t the first to develop an open source CNC mill, however their build looks particularly nice. They claim that the whole thing can be assembled for around $700, including the stepper motors and drive electronics. Want to get in on the action? CAD drawings for the parts and build instructions are available on their site, under the Creative Commons license.”
