Last month the BBC launched it’s Make it Digital campaign, a major UK-wide initiative to inspire a new generation to get creative with coding, programming and digital technology. BBC Make it Digital will capture the spirit of the BBC Micro, which helped Britain get to grips with the first wave of personal computers in the 1980s, for the digital age.

This week we have introduced solar cells to give your kits renewable energy sources, and exciters to turn any surface into a speaker!

Another product launch here at Kitronik, this week bringing you our new range of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) chargers and boosters, perfect for powering up your own home builds and devices such as mobile phones, amplifier kits, arduino projects, and more.

Last week two of the team went down to CEL Headquarters in Portishead, to learn more about the technical process behind the Robox RBX-01 printer and build one too during the trip.

This week we are introducing our new range of coloured mirror acrylics, ideal for projects like speaker casings, amplifier kits, and custom cases. We also have a great example of 3D printing, demonstrating the capabilities of the technology.

Learn how to make a 'Be Seen, Be Safe' LED Armband using conductive thread in our easy to follow tutorial.

All you need to know about the Robox 3D Printer.

You don't have to be a 3D designer to print your own project kit enclosures thanks to resources such as My Mini Factory. As part of our continued focus on the Robox RBX1 3D Printer we are revisiting My Mini Factory, and building a Retro Radio Kit downloaded from the site.

Learn more about the CEL Robox 3D Printer, it's key features, and the results it is capable of producing.

Common faults that can stop your e-textiles circuit working include: the thread shorting, loose connections, LEDs or batteries in backwards. In this tutorial learn how to spot these issues and fix them.

This Kitronik University Course contains a range of projects to make with your 3D printer. If you want to get the most out of your 3D printer then...

This week’s blog features our biggest product launch to date, the CEL Robox 3D Printer and filaments range! We have been looking forward to bringing this to you for a few weeks now, and so here it is along with some information for you to browse through.

Introducing the IsoSketch 3D Design Tool: The cure for "I can't draw".

Print your own cases and accessories with our 'designed for Kitronik' 3D models.

Selecting 3D Printer Filament. 3D printers work by building up thin layers of heated plastic material, or filament. Which you use can depend on the end use and the type of printer you have. Find out the differences between the types.

This Kitronik University Course covers aspects of 3D Printing, including general FAQs such as the differences between types of filament, and Robox RBX-01 specific resources such as changing the print head, loading filament and more.

It's Friday and we've got new products to tell you about. This week we are introducing an FM Radio Telescopic Antenna / Aerial, a new Poplar Plywood, and a range of new capacitors for use with our components kits.

The Kitronik Team join other industry design professionals at the Fernwood School Design Day.

We've some new materials to enhance our wide range of laserable plywoods (laserply). This week's addition is high quality, high flexibility Birch Plywoods in 0.8mm, 1.5mm and 2.0mm thickness's. The high quality and thinness of these plywoods allows them to be used in projects where the wood needs to flex.
