The Crowd-Sourcing of Intelligent-Design

Self-Assembling Reprap

reprap123

This rather glam looking variant is (it would appear) a bit of a leap forward in that the corner bits are a) massively simplified and genericised and b) when combined with a stepper motor and the right bit of software, allow for the construction to be done semi-automatically, obviating the need for fiddly measuring and so on.

It’s looking like the threaded rods might be a vitamin-part for the foreseeable future mind. I wonder if you could make them by wrapping a bit of string round a dowel or something.

Don’t mind me. Chatter from the cheap seats etc

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
