It's snowing here. Here's the proof - a ruler measured with another ruler, reading about 7" depth of (what used to be) snow. It's a massive invasion of snowflakes, and they don't seem too friendly. The amount of snowfall we are experiencing now can prevent anyone in their right mind from being outside. And the […]
OpenBeam's Fantastic Kossel Pro 3D Print...
Solar botics
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!

I just noticed on their blog that they're talking about our Solar Pendulum kit and Christopher […]
New Solar Cell!
As Panasonic is no longer manufacturing their line of Sunceram solar cells, we've been on the hunt for suitable replacements. Here's our first find - the SCC3733! It's a polycrystaline cell in an epoxy casing, so it's a bit heavier, but much, much less prone to breaking or burning off of the solder-pads. It's also […]
