The fumeFan - Soldering Fume Extractor by Maketechnics. Mamba3D - High quality open source 3D-printer by MyMatics. ZeGo: multifunctional delta robot with 3D printing attachment. Working volume resembles hexagonal column.
Height of the column slightly varies depends on the toolhead but approx. is 230mm. Hexagon base dimensions are illustrated below. Build platform is made from GPO-3 fiberglass (approx 4.5mm thickness). Bed is not heated. FABtotum Personal Fabricator. We also believe in the future of personal fabrication as an inspiration for an international, open and cooperative society.
As an Open Source project, FABtotum needs the help of the very people that can understand the consequences of technologically-improved social cooperation, just like any crowdfunding supporter. Funds will be used to start-up the production process and R&D for product and production engineering, allowing us to ship FABtotum in approximately 8 months. Known risks are:Higher production prices due to few units sold, increasing the number of components we have to preorder, reducing our resources.
System integrations (especially software/electronics) might require more time than expected. Delivery: digital delivery on your Indiegogo account email. International delivery included.

Open Source Ecology. X-Winder 2.0 : The Original Desktop Filament Winder by Turner Hunt.
X-Winder is the World's first small scale, desktop, affordable filament winder.
You can now build parts you've only dreamed of - and tailor them to your specific application - and do so at a fraction of commercial prices. Filament winding machines were invented during the space race of the 1960's and these machines are typically the size of a school bus and very expensive - now the X-Winder brings this technology to your desktop at an affordable price.
Make Strong Lightweight Custom Composite Parts Build custom parts in fiberglass, basalt, Kevlar or carbon fiber. You can specify the details of each layer, winding angle, span, offset distance and other parameters, You can tailor the filament orientation to the direction of how loads will be applied to the part and build a lighter and stronger part. Video on Operation, Software, Mandrels, Supplies and a Winding Session A short video on many aspects of the X-Winder including how to operate and capabilities. Do knIt Yourself. Open hardware knitting machine. SmartCaster: Open source automatic roto-casting machine by Aurelio Reis. A rotocaster has a few advantages as well as a few disadvantages to a 3D printer, meaning it does work very well as a compliment as opposed to replacement.
Materials wise you have a big advantage as you can use a casting material with different texture, strength or flexibility whereas with 3D printers it's usually some sort of rigid plastic. Casting materials tend to be a little on the expensive side unless you buy in bulk so I would say it's about a draw there with the 3D printer maybe being a little cheaper. While the option does not exist with rotocasting some of the more expensive 3D printers allow you to print with different colored plastics to make non-solid colored objects but this is not common. Finished (roto)casts are high quality and usually don't need much post processing to be usable whereas most (affordable) 3D printers do require some degree of finishing since they tend to create objects with strange surface properties.
Kikori Open Source CNC Gantry Router by Judah Sher. As seen on BoingBoing!
The Kikori is a 4’x8’ open source CNC gantry router designed to be a solid, adaptable, entry-level machine for small businesses. It is made out of Medium Density Overlay board, or MDO, which unlike MDF is both very strong and highly resistant to swelling due to moisture. It’s essentially a robot capable of milling complex three-dimensional shapes out of wood, soft metals, and plastics. Project ShapeOko: a $300 complete cnc machine. by Edward Ford. Update #3: To accommodate the requests, we upped the number of full kits from 10 to infinity!
Update #2.1: To accommodate the requests, we upped the number of full kits available from 5 to 10. Update #2: We added another donation level! For $200 you now get everything from the $100 level + stepper motors and a power supply! Modular Desktop CNC Machine by AJ Quick. What is CNC?
A CNC is essentially a machine that is controlled by a computer and can perform highly intricate maneuvers over and over again (similar to a printer). In this case instead of dispensing ink onto the paper, it uses a cutting tool to cut very detailed shapes into common materials like wood, plastic, & aluminum. It is a critical machine in any manufacturing factory, or research and development lab. Embroidermodder 2 for Windows, Mac, Linux, Pi and Arduino by Jonathan Greig.
Food, Clothing, Shelter.
Everyone needs those. If you are wearing clothes right now, this project affects you! You won't have to be an embroidery expert or even own an embroidery machine to use our software. Our software will empower you to be able to create your own custom apparel. Although if you are a professional digitizer, we encourage you to support our project which in turn will help lower your operating expenses.
You can create your own designs or modify existing designs. For anyone who is not familiar with the cost of embroidery software, it's quite expensive, and in some cases, the quality does not reflect the cost. Embroidermodder has always been, and will always be an open source application. With open source software, everyone has the capability to try out the software at no cost to them. The interface itself is a CAD/CAM software but tailored for embroidery.
The user interface has been written from scratch using C++. CNC to 3d Printer by iMikeys.com. Well, the story goes like this…..
I wanted to build a 3D printer that had a working area similar to my CNC Taig Mill. The printers that came close to this size where WAY overpriced! I did a lot of research on different models and made the decision that I would build my own. So I bought the electronics for one of the most popular models currently available and built an interface to my Taig. I would keep everything on the mill as is and would disconnect the stepper motors from my CNC controller and attach them to a dedicated controller setup for 3D printing. I am using Mach3 for my CNC mill and lathe operations. RotoMAAK: Desktop Rotational Casting Machine by Mark VanDiepenbos. Rotational Casting, also known as Rotocasting or Hollow Casting, is a molding process for creating many kinds of items, mostly hollow in form and typically made of plastic.
The RotoMAAK rotocaster was born out of the desire to have a process by which Makers could scale up production of parts using rotational casting technology when 3D printing a small production run becomes cost and time prohibitive. The RotoMAAK rotational caster consists of a hollow mold and a rotational device that spins the mold in a uniform motion. The hollow mold is filled with a charge or shot weight of air cure resin. It is then inserted into the RotoMAAK where it is slowly rotated (usually around two perpendicular axes) causing the liquid resin to uniformly disperse and stick to the walls of the mold where it slowly cures over time into the shape of the part. In order to maintain an even thickness throughout the part, the mold continues to rotate at all times during casting phase and curing phase. Lasersaur: Open Source Laser Cutter by nortd. DIYLILCNC.
