Sjøhus, (sea houses, litterally translated) are industrial buildings from the times when boats were the only efficient way of transport. These cladded, timber frame buildings were used for all kinds of purposes connected to trade and fisheries on the Norwegian coast. The typical protruding part of the gable (vindehus) is protecting the hoist mechanism.
I matched the LEGO green and painted the modules. This made a huge difference in appearance when they were all laid out. The painted edge blended in really well with the green baseplates.
... can easly be turned into a box and a lid
.. my design, as far as I know... but any reference will be welcome....
2 (1 for box, 1 for lid) square 15x15 cm. regular copy paper... I use 80gr. and 90gr. the second is suggested for the box
written instructions (more or less) in the kusudama cube writing.
Decoration made with paper left by cutting an A4 sheet in 2 squares... so you will just need 2 A4 paper for two duo color box.... and only 1 sheet for a single color box (obviously)... this box is very good for give aways in any occasion (espiacilly candies and confetti) and also as a toothfairy (or mouse depending on traditions) box..
I wish you a week full of colors!.... (north Italy in particular: wish you also a SUNNY week) :-))))

These modules are for a 100 system I am putting together. The old Buchla sounds nothing like the new Buchla.
The Orion crew and service module stack for Artemis I was lifted out of the Final Assembly and Test (FAST) cell on Monday, November 11. The spacecraft has been stationed in the FAST cell since July 2019 for mating and closeout processing.
The service module and crew module were moved separately into the cell, stacked and connected together for the mission.
After lifting out of the cell, Orion will be attached to a tool called a verticator that rotates the stack from its vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration for transport to NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, where it will undergo full environmental testing to certify the complete vehicle for flight.
Once the vehicle returns to NASA's Kennedy Space Centre it will return to the FAST cell for installation of final panels left off for environmental testing purposes and the service module’s four solar arrays.

Voskhod 1 descent module, 1964
The three cosmonauts' couches inside Voskhod were only fitted with difficulty, making the crew crane their necks to see the instrument panels. With no space for a means of escape to be fitted, a retrorocket slowed the spacecraft as it returned to Earth, enabling the cosmnauts to remain on board for the entire mission.

Delivery of I2C modules. All these modules are intended to work together with the Fischertechnik TXT Controller. For the color sensor module there is already a software model available, the software for the other modules I am going to write. First I have to provide a small power supply for the 3V3 voltage.

Newly built DIY version of Varipower module using rotary switch and precision resistors with a range of max to -5.5 stops.
Strobist info: Light tent. One Vivitar 283 outside, camera left, set to 1/64 power using Varipower module. Second Vivitar 283 outside, camera right, set to 1/64 power using Varipower module.
Well I think it was time to draw it. This diagram is not exactly what I would call a diagram... but I did it! :-) Sooner or later I will update my '50s graphic and certainly make lot of more steps and.... you know shadows, nuances... but since I'm not an origami professional this is my peak at the moment :-)))))
This module can be very useful for geometry education so please if you can, use it for this purpose.
I really hope you all will enjoy it, there are so many reasons to fight and scream and get angry everyday at work that origami has to be joy (at least for those not professional... for professionals it's job so I guess they can get angry and maybe design houses as an hobby ;-DDD)
I wish you a wonderful end of working week and a fabulous week-end :)
This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.
National Air and Space Museum
The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution holds the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world in 14,970.9 m2 of exhibition floor space. It was established in 1946, as the National Air Museum, and opened its main building in 1976. Located in Washington, D.C., United States, it is a center for research into the history and science of aviation and spaceflight, as well as planetary science and terrestrial geology and geophysics. Almost all space and aircraft on display are originals or backups to the originals.

Double rotating module and built-in electronics.
This module is intended as an extension to the Fischertechnik building blocks. This is a compact unit with double rotation. Each stage has a built-in quadrature decoder and home point detection. Hall detectors are used for this. The big advantage of this hall AH3144E is that it works on a voltage from 4.5V to 24V and is therefore compatible with most hardware. The output is an open collector type. Each stage is powered by an XS motor 9V.
The upper axis has a pivoting block with 20 teeth. The gear profile is adapted to work with the worm gear of FT without much backlash. On the contours of this rotating block are small holes provided to apply a neodymium magnet D2x3mm. This magnet serves as a home point for calibration. On the worm shaft is a small disk encoder with 5 magnets. Through quadrature detection you get 20 pulses per revolution. The angle adjustment accuracy of the pivot block is therefore 1/400 or 0.9 degrees. The total angular rotation is slightly more than 180 degrees. The lower turntable has a gear with 44 teeth. It can rotate the full 360 degrees. The accuracy here is 1/880 = 0.41 degrees. The worm shaft also has an encoder disk with 5 magnets (20 pulses/rotation). The encoder disc is adapted to the worm so that it cannot slip on the shaft. All necessary .stl files are available here.
I tested all parts, mounted the hall detectors and measured the signals. The quadrature detection automatically possesses the correct 90 degree phase shift. You don't have to adjust anything. The XS motor is used with its standard reduction block and has about 140 revolutions/minute on the worm (2.35 rec/sec). An encoder pulse corresponds to about 21 msec. Your quadrature decoder must therefore be able to process the pulses within these 21 msec, or even better 15 msec because there is always a small deviation possible (phase shift is 90° +/- 20%).
On the upper rotation arm I mounted an original FT grip module. The intention is to replace this grip module with a more compact version with built-in electronics.
3D printer settings:
I always use PolyMaker polyMax PLA filament. This filament is much stronger than the normal PLA, even stronger than ABS. The printed pieces are very clean and the parts slide gently over each other. The tolerances are very good and very little finishing is required. For some parts you do need to use supports. Brim or Raft are not needed. I don't have a heated table but keep the printing plate under warm water for a while before printing. On my FlashForge Finder I use the Standard settings with a temperature of 210°.
