Eventorbot Eventorbot! Open source 3D printer.The Mission and challenge behind Eventorbot, was to build a rigid, low cost 3d printer. Using less parts, easy to assemble, and is capable to self replicate most of its parts. It is 100% open source project, and all plans are available for anyone interested. Since 80% of the Eventorbots parts are printable. Facebook page for updates and more images: Link to download plans and build from scratch (If you are pledging for parts on kickstarter, please only use this link for build): Tutorial videos: Video of eventorbot printing and its print quality: Behind Eventorbot.My name is Duy, from IL, USA. 3d printer? Open source? Future attachments/upgrades, because Eventorbot is open source there will be more then you can imagine. Update : Eventorbots current print size is 8"x10"x6"After many request, it is now official. Good news!
Jog It! Open source controller pendant for EMC2 and Mach3! by Jerome miles My name is Jerome Miles and I love to build things! Over the years I have built and repaired everything from custom CNC routing machines to full sized CNC mills. Most of these custom machines I have worked on have either used Mach3 or Linux CNC as the control software. Both of these controllers are great, but they require you to interact with your machine on a regular old key board. It is a hand held controller that comes in two flavors, Mach3 or EMC. Set up is easy. For Mach3, plugging it into an open USB port will work for all buttons but four (Home X, Home Y, Home Z, Step Incrament). Mach3 Video Linux CNC video *Update* Mach 3 video using Mach 2010 screen set! Are you sick and tired of memorizing strange keyboard short cuts, and lugging your keyboard around while you zero your machine? Once the project funds I will be releasing everything about this pendant onto the internet free for all. Don't like the way I have some buttons programmed? That depends on the quantity. Sleek and tough.
Makey Makey - An Invention Kit for Anyone Designstudie One: Stift-Smartphone mit Rolldisplay Ein Smartphone mit 6 Zoll großem Screen, das aber zugleich kaum größer als ein Kugelschreiber ist? Diese widersprüchlichen Eckdaten vereint der Entwurf “One” des Designers Yejin Jeon mithilfe eines aufrollbaren Displays. Die Designstudie ist dabei realitätsnäher, als es auf den ersten Blick scheint. Das Design geht auf einen Patentantrag von Samsung zurück. Mobile Geräte sollen möglichst klein und leicht sein, aber der Bildschirm soll bitteschön gleichzeitig viel Platz bieten. Der Entwurf “One” sieht aus wie ein Kugelschreiber und kommt passenderweise mit einem Clip daher. Patentantrag von Samsung mit zwei Designvarianten für Geräte mit Rolldisplay. Alles in allem sieht der Entwurf von Yejin Jeon aus wie ein Gerät, das man in dieser Form tatsächlich sehr gut nutzen könnte. Tatsächlich scheint Samsung über Handys in Stiftform zumindest nachzudenken. Offen ist aber die Frage, ob sich dann bereits ein Design wie das von Yejin Jeon umsetzen lässt. Gefunden bei Yanko Design.
B9Creator - A High Resolution 3D Printer by Michael Joyce Color Voting Update - 06/11/12 at 6:11 AM MST The Voting is Over, we have a winner! Black - 32, Blue -11, Clear - 9, Red - 2, Gold - 2, Green - 1 Right from the beginning I wanted the B9Creator to be different. DIY 3D Printers based upon the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) concept simply can not match the higher resolution capability of the B9Creator. How about speed? "But how much does that resin cost?" As you will see below, the project development is already well along and is about set for production. So... (Eiffel Tower model printed at 100 micron resolution) I began working on this concept last fall. (Working on resin development) (Trying out different ideas) (Youtube video describing early design concept) (Final R&D prototype.. it works!) (Production design using CAD) (Final production design, CAD rendering) (The assembled production prototype) (Custom components fabricated by my US based vendors) - Assemble and ship kits and completed units starting as soon as components arrive.
Form1 - Kickstarter Are you frustrated that low-end 3D printers don’t have the quality to make the true beauty of your designs real? Do you dream of having the power and resolution of a truly professional machine on your desktop? We’ve created an easy-to-use system that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost. Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. We’ve been hard at work for over a year, and with your help, we’re ready to take the Form 1 into full-fledged production. We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to design a complete 3D printing experience: The Form 1 printer is engineered to produce high resolution parts with the touch of a buttonForm software is intuitive and simple to use so you can spend less time setting up prints and more time designingThe Form Finish post-processing kit keeps your desktop organized so that you can easily put the finishing touches on your masterpiece
Ball and Buck: Making The Perfect Shirt by Mark Bollman This Kickstarter project was created to fund the production of our first major product - The Hunters shirt. We have completed the sample run of shirts but need Kickstarter's help (a bit over 15k) in order to cover the manufacturing costs the first full run of shirts that will take approx 3-4 weeks. We have purchased the thread, buttons, tags and materials but in order for our Arkansas factory to fire up their sewing machines and make these amazing shirts, we need the funding that we are hoping to generate through the site. If we are able to raise more than our goal of 15k, we will put the additional capital to work. 50k will enable us to make enough shirts to stock the store and website for the rest of the year. If we raise over 100k we can make more colors and even patterned shirts. If we raise over 250k you can expect to see a full collection of shirts on the shelves in a store near you and you can be proud knowing you had a hand in creating America's next major clothing brand.
