I finally got a production Tangara!
…couldn’t resist swapping in the aluminium back from my prototype unit, but it still feels special
I love working on open source hardware with my friends 🧡

Originally intended for this weight adjustment mechanism to be solely for testing, but honestly it might be a pretty neat feature on the final device?

learning to tune fiber laser parameters! we now own 5 tiny saws of varying quality :3
(..in preparation for a bunch of spring steel component prototyping)

I should maybe start using this place, huh?
Hello! I'm erin, I'm an industrial designer / engineer, but I also post about my art, textiles, and (sometimes) hobbyist EE projects.
..also harder to categorise things like testing SMD components with a surgical robot arm?

I really like the wire routing technique used in this machine, surprised I haven't seen it used more.
It's pretty, requires 0 components, and is easy to service! (wires are just pushed in)
