Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

Running Oolite on odd hardware... don't mind if I do
Actually this might be quite difficult due to the graphics hardware being OpenGL ES. Once I get my hands on one I'll definitely have a bash though.

There's a short clip of David Braden demoing this device on it's website
http://www.raspberrypi.org/
It's part of the 'Newsnight' clip they have up there on the front page, dealing with news that the UK is falling down the rankings of game producing nations and everyone is blaming microsoft office

what about mounting one of these into a cobra mk3 plastic (resin) surround? Cable plugs in the thrusters and on the angled front.
I'd buy one of those fine items for £60 quid!

Wait for this guy: http://3dhomemade.blogspot.com/
to post his hardware-plans and start fabbing!
(that guy is waaaaay beyond reprap's resolution, but looks like he won't go 100% 'open')

Re: Yes, but does it run Oolite?....
Hey as long as the price is right, who cares if it comes in kit form?
Don't get me wrong, free is great but let's not begrudge an inventor a small wedge.
Low cost 3d printer kit sales and dibbs on powder plastic resupply sound like an excellent way to serve the wider community and put a bit of cash away for an early retirement. We need people like this to bust closed markets WIDE open.
Let's hope he doesn't get bought out before he goes to commercial prototype.

Sure, in my book that guy is 100% okay!

Re: Yes, but does it run Oolite?....
interesting project, but i'm betting it's not going to be as cheap as people think/hope. already the cost of the basic software and starting resin are pushing over $500, i'd guess near the same for the printer itself. also, if it's anything like the resin they cast garage kits in, there's a whole lot of other issues to consider for safety; ventilation etc

The Raspberry Pi (now a credit card dimensioned computer - and still vapour ware as far as I can tell) has a rival: http://www.gizmag.com/fxi-cotton-candy/20548/

Well, at $200 they are hardly aiming for the same segment. It's going to be interesting to see how these gadgets develop and are used in the future.DaddyHoggy wrote:The Raspberry Pi (now a credit card dimensioned computer - and still vapour ware as far as I can tell) has a rival: http://www.gizmag.com/fxi-cotton-candy/20548/

$ 200 is indeed pushing the limits...
