Cool project. When he talks about exploring 3D printing, I think there is someone ahead of him.
A couple of weeks ago I listened to a talk by Clifford Agius (https://twitter.com/CliffordAgius https://twitter.com/CliffordAgius) who is 3d printing App-enabled bionic arms. Pretty incredible stuff - I think he'd got startup costs <£1000 and per-arm costs around £5-600. ALl using open hardware/software.
Sadly there is literally nothing online I can find about it other than this post: https://www.cliffordagius.co.uk/post/findingand3dprintingahand/ https://www.cliffordagius.co.uk/post/findingand3dprintingaha...
(He's also a commercial pilot, as you do)
- yardie 5y agoI’ve been following him on twitter and I honestly don’t where he gets the time to fly, develop, conferences speaking, and family. I do a few international trips and my clock is out of service for a few days. I guess flight crew are wires different.
- breckenedge 5y agoA lot of pilots I know are freelance programmers on the side. You’re often waylaid far from home with nothing to do. The work comes in spurts. There are regulatory limits to how much you can fly. There were a lot of furloughs last year and international travel is still depressed.
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoDo you spend a lot of time in Breck? I bet that really self-selects for pilot-programmers. Not dismissing your point, I think it's cool that you know "a lot of pilots".
- breckenedge 5y agoNope I’m in Dallas. I did try remote work in Breckenridge (CO) a few months ago for the first time, but it was kinda depressing seeing the beautiful scenery but being trapped to the desk. The summer resort stuff all shuts down at 4pm too :-/
