Great work! I love seeing these openhardware projects becoming more common, especially in the medical/biomed areas.
So many amazing things spawning directly from the RepRap project and community it makes me feel fortunate to have been a heavily active member of the community for the last 8 years.
Opentrons is another machine you may want to look into. They make a machine for pipetting. They use control boards which come from another project I work very closely with (smoothieware/smoothieboard).
Opensource moves so fast and changes the world so much it cannot be overstated. Freeing the knowledge is important to move our species as a whole into the future. I believe every person in tech should seriously at least consider releasing their work to the world without cost, there are so many advances which can be made if people just have the necessary information and tools.
- munfred 8y agoI actually mentioned the poseidon project to the CPO of Opentrons a few months ago, because it would be great to have these kits commercially available and I thought it was a perfect fit for Opentrons (the company). Understandably he said that at the time they really wanted to focus on developing the OT-2 and the conversation ended there. That being said the poseidon project is distributed under a BSD 2-Clause license [1] and I'd be happy to see someone bringing it to market.
