I live in the US. In passing I have noticed quite a bit about our culture which lends to being overweight. 1) Structure: it is way too easy to get food that is horrible for you. Not only that but in a way which you can eat it in the car o

It has no motor sound...but has a varying "whine". Also, when the rudder is bumped that whine is going to change due to attempting to realign...which could sound like an injured cry. I know people younger than me complain about t

Absolute shot in the dark, I have near-zero knowledge of Orca and even less about sailing...but I did notice one common link in the article. They were using autohelms. Are the ones they are using commercial ones? Are they homebrew (whic

Most of the time you learn the IPC-A-610 stuff first...then J-standard is an addition. One thing to remember though is often Mil spec or custom builds actually require better quality than IPC or J-std gives. IPC/J-std are "Minimu

Yes but the book isn't free. IPC-A-610 is a good place to start. I just briefly browsed the page but it seems to be very close to IPC standards with the J-Standard addition (which is mission critical/Space typically) Source: I w

Yeah...I was thinking the same thing. "Romper Room Gang" Mac Dre got a lot of respect due to his refusal to inform on the others (even though supposedly he had nothing to do with it). Sad story. He died in a car which was shot

Not sure about the OP...but based on my observations this is the main misinformation I hear. 1) Masks, They are viewed as a violation of their "rights", do more harm than good, make people not be able to breath, feed the virus ba

I talked recently with an executive at a very large SV company. It was mentioned that people can work remote and live in other areas but the pay is adjusted based on the area they are moving to. I do not know how common this is but I assu

Realtors make money either way...so it is a great time for either. Just as always follow the money.

Almost everything can be read by an OBD2 reader. Or there are also some homebrew options. Tractors and such start to get tricky and I am sure there are aspects of the cars which you cannot control but from what I have seen you can get by w

It just takes a new type of mechanic. I personally would have no complaints about swapping batteries, fixing electronics or upgrading/updating accessories but I also come from a different level of training. To me it appears as easy t

There was the papilio duo too which had the Spartan 6 LX9 FPGA with an ATmega32U4 on the bottom. Not sure if they are for sale anymore though. I backed the kickstarter (and work with a company which made some of the wings for them) but I

I pretty much always have freenode channels open for #reprap and #smoothieware. Bleeding edge of reprap has been IRC for many years...IMHO.

Nice to see you are still at it. I just posted a video above from 4 years ago when I was testing bread in #reprap. Can't wait to see more of what you are doing soon.

I printed using "Bread" way back when they were developing it originally. The dev (nickparker)used to frequent #reprap@freenode. It was an interesting concept but yes the nozzle collision is an issue. Here is a video of an early

Gantry style as I use the term describes a machine that has 2 Y rails carrying an X rail. All rails are independently powered so each has a motor/drive and all of the rails are supported above the work area. There are several 3d pri

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

It would be fairly trivial to build. Basically, it is just a CoreXY 3d printer without the head. I have modified a small CNC mill/router to be used as a "paste printer" for printing frosting/ceramic ( https://

Some of the firmware versions do have G2/G3 in them but not all. http://smoothieware.org/supported-g-codes I assume most of the modern ones do but some of the older 3d printing firmware use a very butchered version of

I work with the smoothieware project (hardware QA). It is an opensource motion control firmware and openhardware control board which works with 3d printers, lasers, mills, etc. Initially based on GRBL and runs on ARM (LPC1769). The openha

3d printers typically don't care about arcs or splines since they only use STL files which do not have "real" curves. Some firmwares support arcs (smoothieware, which is based on GRBL) but it still breaks the arcs down to seg

Autodesk's "Project Escher" was intended to do just that. The machine was built by Titan Robotics and uses Smoothieboards but the main issue is getting all the controllers to recognize where the other heads are in real time.

Great to hear. I work very closely with the project (hardware QA), as well as RepRap. I have followed your machine for quite some time. I have mentioned it to pretty much everyone I know who is in the field of chemistry/biology or d
