- chinathrow 10y agoThe project looks cool - but the link to the video is hard to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xGQmm7FXD4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xGQmm7FXD4
- ge96 10y agoMan it's loud haha, don't mind me, just relaxing to the sound of sand being crushed by a metal ball. Edit: might be quieter with more sand. Realize that was just a proof of concept video. Also not sure if the gears can be made to be quiet. Cool mechanical engineering, could build 3D printers and what not.
- jldugger 10y agoI'm guessing sand on plexiglass isn't super quiet =)
- KON_Air 10y agoMake the plotter(?) programmable via an internets app and find a way to "reset the sand without making everything on it shake" and I'll buy three of those.
- jccalhoun 10y agoI had to laugh at my own grumpyness. I saw the headline and started thinking, "ugh, another story with a headline that doesn't explain what the story is actually about." Turns out it does!
- paxcoder 10y agoNot quite, I think the title should contain the word "machine".
- QuadrupleA 10y agoCool project - and an upvote for having nothing to do with politics :)
