As a designer and engineer I am always looking for ways of converting everyday items into cool gadgets. 专家作为一个设计师。兼工程师,我一直为酷工具转化为日常用品的途径。 This iconic lighter, known around the world, is the Zippo flip-top lighter.这标志性的打火机,为世界公认,是打火机翻盖打火机。 Having already turned a flip-top ligher into a在已经变成了一翻盖ligher blu-ray laser蓝光激光器 lighter I decided that I would see just how much more could be done with one.打火机我决定,我会看到更多的到底有多少可与一做。
This time round I wanted a laser spirograph projector .这一次我想一圆激光spirograph投影机。 What follows is a tutorial that will show the major parts that are needed.下面是一个教程,将显示所需要的主要部分。 All fliptop lighters are slightly different in size and shape you need to adjust sizes and positions to suit your host. I started off by getting a host lighter engraved.所有fliptop打火机略有不同大小和形状您需要调整大小和位置,以满足您的host.Â我开始找一个主机轻刻了。
This would be neat to take to your next poker game to draw more attention than the best这将是美妙采取你的下一个扑克牌游戏消耗比最好的更多关注 poker hand扑克手 . 。

Then followed a number of drawings to see what the options might be.随之而来的图纸aÂnumber看看可能的选项。 There are a lot of parts to get in so everything needs to be as small as possible (obviously)有许多许多部分,以获得在这样一切都必须尽可能的小(明显)

The only way I could be sure to get everything lined up was to do away with the inner slide and replace it with a machined out block of plastic with all the parts fitted.我唯一可以肯定地得到一切排队,是与内部导轨,代之以加工出来的塑料块各部分安装它。 To get this as large as possible the plate in the lid that operates the lid closing catch needs to be removed, to do this drill a couple of holes through it then break it off with a pair of pliers.要获得此尽可能在盖子,经营封罐赶上大板必须清除,这样做钻两洞,然后通过它打破一把钳将它关闭。 Remove the rough edges with a small grinding burr in a dremil drill.删除theÂrough edgesÂwith在dremil磨钻一个小毛刺。

Here are the basic dimensions for the block but, as previously stated, adjust to suit your host.以下是块的基本层面,如前所述,调整以满足你的主机。

The那个 green laser module绿光激光器模块 was stripped out of a keyring pointer that ate batteries within seconds, so it was no loss.被剥夺了一个钥匙指针,吃几秒钟内电池,所以没有损失。 This would be heavily modified to fit as it is 12mm diameter and too long with the drive circuit attached.这将是重大的修改,以适应,因为它是12毫米直径的驱动器连接电路太长。 (there are smaller green modules available that will fit more easily but I had this one to hand). (有较小的版本,其中会更容易适应,但我有这样的手一个绿色模块)。 I turned this one to 10mm diameter….我把这个一个直径10mm ...。 the thread that holds it together is 10mm diameter and consequently I had to glue the 2 halves together with superglue wheh it fell apart, it may be better to drill out the hole it fits into to 11mm diameter and turn down the module to suit.线程是一起拥有直径10mm,因此我不得不用强力胶wheh胶解体2半在一起,可以更好地钻出来的洞,它安装到直径为11毫米和拒绝的模块来满足。

For a spirograph pattern to be produced a minimum of 2 rotating mirrors are required.对于spirograph模式产生了2旋转最低镜子是必需的。 These were cut from an acylic mirror tile, it is important to get the hole dead centre, to do this I drilled a 0.5mm hole into a piece of 7mm diameter brass, stuck the back of the acrylic to this and turned to size in a lathe, (once stuck to a mandrel you can carve the mirror to size with a craft knife).这些被切断从丙烯酸镜子瓦,重要的是让死者中心孔,这样做我移殖到7毫米直径的黄铜片0.5mm的孔,坚持了对这一丙烯酸回转而一的大小车床,(一旦坚持一芯棒可以雕刻用工艺刀镜子的大小)。 Then use a pin chuck to drill into the acrylic from the back.然后用针钻夹头把从后面丙烯酸。


The mirrors are driven by vibro该镜子是由振动驱动 motors马达 from mobile phones.移动电话。 The ones used were 5mm diameter once the rubber cover was removed.所用的那些直径5mm的橡胶盖一旦被删除。

The motors and mirrors were mounted in brass shrouds to protect them from damage.马达和反射镜是安装在铜罩,以保护他们不受损害。 The motors are held in lpace with a dab of superglue.该发动机被关押在lpace的和强力胶能手。
The mirror must be stuck on at a very slight angle so that when a laser is reflected from the spinning mirror the beam describes a small circle.镜子必须停留在一个非常小的角度,以便当激光是从旋转镜梁描述了一个小圈子反映。


The laser and the激光与 motor马达 assemblies were pressed into holes machined into the plastic block, all three parts were wired up to check the output beam, to get good patterns you may have to reverse the direction of one of the motors.组合后,压入到塑料块,这三个部分是有线,以检查输出光束,加工孔,获得良好的模式,你可能需要扭转的电机一个方向。

A Battery housing with positive and negative contacts was machined to house a带有正面和负面的接触电池住房加工的房子 rechargable 3.6v battery 3.6V的充电电池 then wiring was started.然后接线启动。

Wires soldered to motor 1 and battery holder导线焊接到马达和电池1人

The driver for the laser and the switch were located with super glue and wired.为激光驱动器和开关所在超有线glueÂand。 If only people spent more time making cool gadgets like these instead of playing online games or spending money in an只要人们花费更多的时间,而不是让喜欢在网上玩游戏或花钱,这些酷工具 online casino网上赌场 , we would have much more to offer. ,我们将有更多提供。 The lighter projector is great example of what can be done when you put your time and mind to it.较轻投影伟大能够做些什么时,你把你的时间,静下心来,它的例子。

The other battery contact and laser module wired.其他电池的接触和激光模块有线。 (it is important to remember that green laser modules are positive ground) I soldered the battery contact to the module to stiffen it up, this connects the positive directly to the module which is no bad thing. (重要的是要记住,绿色激光模块是积极地)我接触的电池焊接到模块的僵硬起来,这是积极的,直接连接到模块这也不是坏事。

This is what the finished item looks like.这就是完成项目的模样。 The piece of metal on the top is a magnet from the lens focus assembly of a PS3 sled, it takes the place of the lid closing catch that disapeared with the inner slide of the lighter.该金属片的顶部是一个magnetÂfrom镜头的焦点assemblyÂof PS3的雪橇,它需要的闭幕赶上,随着较轻的幻灯片disapeared盖内进行。

This is what it does….这是它...。 (my camera is not fast enough to capture the patterns produced by the projector). (我的相机是不够快捕获的投影机生产的模式)。

A longer view gives a slightly better idea of the output.较长的观点给出了输出稍好的想法。

I imagine that if you varied the speed of one of the motors it would create different patterns.我想,如果你不同的马达会产生不同的模式之一速度。 Perhaps you could make the position of the lighter cap control a variable resistor to do that.也许你可以做较轻的上限控制位置可变电阻这样做。
