60$ 3DPrinter DIY from recycled electronic components
Posted by freedomforall 9 years, 5 months ago to Technology
This project describes the design of a very low budget 3D Printer that is mainly built out of recycled electronic components. The result is a small format printer for less than 100$.
Do you think we need a 3D Printing Agency to ensure it develops the right technology, doesn't print the wrong stuff, and is appropriately taxed?
This is a major breakthrough. Just wait until a few inquiring minds figure out how to scale it up a bit. The possibilities are incredible. I'm thinking of the templates made by Defense Distributed and similar.
Integrating proprietary software from multiple suppliers was "interesting". I was the first user of GE's twin servo sync card for a PLC. 5 new EPROM burns to get it working....then the licensure and confidentiality. It was a blast....the machines are still operating in Madison WI and West side of England.
