| - | ====== Overview ====== | ||
| - | A page of ideas for electronic recycling projects. This page is broken into two sections, the first half is about project ideas based on recycled components, the second is about which pieces of equipment might provide sources for recyclable components. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Project ideas ====== | ||
| - | =====3D/2D printers, plotters etc===== | ||
| - | There are many examples of using head positioners from CD ROMs etc to make small 3D printer/ CNC machines etc | ||

| - | =====Clock===== | ||
| - | There are endless clock ideas: | ||
| - | * [[https://www.instructables.com/Simple-Hard-Drive-Clock|Hard drive clock]] This one uses a hard drive, but fitted a standard commercial clock mechanism. | ||
| - | * I envisage a clock built with the armature acting like a tick mechanism, each time the arm moves back and forth it increments by one second. | ||
| - | * Another idea is to use armatures as hands - different sized ones from different sized drives. | ||
