lots of interesting ideas in there. i didn't know of the many of the interesting advancements mentioned either.
it's always cool to catch up on all the clever ways they manage to advance 3d printing, often without even needing expensive new hardware.
In a similar vein, I'd highly recommend touching base on how wire EDM is going. Rack Robotics is planning to put the ability to cut metal plate in our hands via a pretty cheap desktop machine. There's a lot of personal manufacture you can do with something like that.
the portable edm machine does look pretty cool. whenever it can print thicker parts, a lot of new cheap and easy manufacturing will open up yet again.
I LOVE Rack Robotics concept. The chassis is 3d printed, assembled with hardware and submerged in a 10 gallon aquarium. It's a wonderful time to be interested in home production. The new smaller metal sintering 3d printers are also incredibly interesting.
Exactly, that's the power of code I suppose. More effective use of the tools we alredy have. I was in the same boat. I was like "damn dude, I've gotta share this."
open source is truly a beautiful thing when we let it flourish!
