Reprap state of play : mid 2009

reprap1

A nice rundown of a go-to-whoa reprap printing.

A nice overview of what’s involved, how long it takes, the cock-up ratio etc etc. Still a way to go methinks – a daunting number of vitamin parts… but I think it’s fair to say that Adrian Bower’s forebodings that “91.923% of academic research projects fail” can be laid to rest. It’s underway. It’s happening.

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.
