The Filabot Wee: A Filament Extruder. Step #1: Check or make your parts If you bought a kit, check the Bill of Materials to make sure all the necessary parts are provided, and contact Filabot if anything’s missing. Scratch builders, you’ve got some wood- and metalworking in your future. To get started, click on the above parts drawings.Using a laser cutter or a fine woodworking saw, cut the enclosure’s top control panel and back wall from the 6mm plywood.

Using heavier saws, cut the 1/2" plywood to make the base and the side panels.Cut, drill, and bend the 11-gauge sheet metal, per the drawings, to make the motor mount, back chamber support, front chamber support, and 2 side brackets. Cut and bend the hopper from 18-gauge sheet metal, and cut the thrust bearing plate from 1/4" sheet metal. We cut our parts on a plasma cutter, and it’s really the way to go; a local CNC service may be able to do this for you.Now to the machining. Step #2: Attach the motor shaft coupler With the parts in hand, you can move on to assembly. FabClay. FabClay by Sasha Jokic, Starsk Lara and Nasim Fashami. Posted on October 23, 2012 by Themethodcase FabClay is project done by Sasha Jokic (Serbia), Starsk Lara (Colombia) and Nasim Fashami (Iran) ,based on the idea of robotic additive manufacturing fabrication, innovative materials and computational tools.

The research is being conducted at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) in Barcelona at Digital Tectonics course lead by Marta Male Alemany with assistance of Jordi Portell and Miquel Lloveras. The research aimed to exploring a new digital fabrication system which is fully optimized, adaptive and human independent system.. Demonstrates the new vision of making architectural design and constructions, In terms of changing the logic of built from human as a constructor to machine, regarding to new aspects of technology possibilities. It has started from researches on traditional way of building with simple and accessible materials and continued by expanding the connections between architecture and new technology. FabClay. LulzBot AO-100 3D printer now FSF-certified to respect your freedom. Aleph Objects, Inc. is honored to have the first hardware product with the FSF's Respects Your Freedom certification mark, and we're proud to sell a 3D printer that delivers freedom to each and every user.

Aleph Objects, Inc. was founded with the idea that people should be free to use, learn from, and improve the machines they use, and to share their improvements and innovations with collaborative communities. The spirit and philosophy of the free software movement is embodied in our LulzBot 3D printer. All of our printers ship with hardware designs, software, and documentation all under free licenses. You get it all — source code, design documents, and specifications — everything needed to control, tinker, fix, and improve upon every aspect of the printer.— Jeff Moe, Founder of Aleph Objects, Inc.

Conversations between the FSF and Aleph Objects, Inc., solidified the certification process and Respects Your Freedom mark design. About the Free Software Foundation Aleph Objects, Inc.

Introduction aux FabLabs. Une révolution technologique est en marche, le bouleversement FabLab. Avant d’explorer sur ce blog les innombrables facettes et implications de ce changement encore relativement confidentiel, cet article est l’occasion d’essayer de présenter à tous ce qui n’est souvent que pas ou peu connu.

Alors au fond: C’est quoi un Fab Lab? Les geeks du MIT En général on commence l’histoire des Fab Labs par son créateur au nom de volcan Islandais: Neil Gershenfeld. Ce respectable professeur de cette respectable institution du MIT, qui est l’équivalent américain de la respectable école polytechnique en France, est d’abord le directeur du Centre des Bits et des Atomes. En gros: un physicien qui s’amuse à construire avec les unités de fabrication du réel et du numérique comme un enfant s’amuse à faire du LEGO. Il faut dire que les avancées technologiques de ces dernières années lui ont rendu possible cette tentative.
