Finally got them through the Pick and Place machine, tested, and ready to go. Check out the blue and green versions! (We're still kicking around a VU-type Greeeeen/Yel/RED version too. What do you think?) By the way, we've got some pretty decent sample code on how to use your Ardweeny Backpack (and thusly, any Arduino-compatible) […]
OpenBeam's Fantastic Kossel Pro 3D Print...

June 28, 2013
It's pretty amazing to see the adoption rate of 3D printers in the last few years, and the kind of creativity they bring out in people. I've seen quite a few variations, particularly while walking through the 3D printer villages at the MakerFaires I've already attended (either as a vendor or just a visitor), but the one that's stood out for me is the kit currently being offered on Kickstarter by our friends at OpenBeam, the Kossel Pro:
I've always found delta robots to be particularly interesting, given the speed and accuracy they can move at (plus they're just cool to watch!) It's definitely worth taking a look if you're in the market for a 3D printer, especially since it'll be made available using stamped/injected molded parts for a higher degree of accuracy & tolerance than what you might find with laser cut or 3D printer parts/brackets. We can't wait for ours!
