    Finally!

    Just signed up for a build-your-own-3d printer course (with material) that will start end of september.

        September is going to be my month too I hope.
        Next week Kate Bush and by the end of the month my very own (pre-built) FABtotum (http://www.fabtotum.cc). Me happy :)

        I use Domoticz as controller for Z-Wave and MySensors (previously Indigo and OpenHAB).
        I have a FABtotum to print cases.

          Lucky bastard :-)

          Those that happen to live in Helsinki might check this out (in Finnish):

          So the pubic library lets you print your stuff for 0.40€ per piece. I winder what schema or blueprint file that machine imports..

            Actually I went to the nearest library and there you can print 3D objects for free!
            So I immediately created a holder scaffold for arduino nano (plate and poles on corners with studs on top for the small holes in the corners of the nano) for easier mounting inside any box. The first prototype tested the precision of the printer and strength of the plastic.

            Here is the SketchUp model if someone is interested: ArduinoNano Holder 4.skb

            Next I will try to make a snap-on plate that is only cut with scissors to snuggly fit into any case width to hold the nano in place.

            With these I hope to resolve my frustration and still use existing boxes.

              The libraries in Finland seem to prioritize the right things! Fostering a new generation of DIY people.

                That's interesting.. Here in the state I live, (USA) many of our legislators are trying to pass legislation that effective bans the possession of a 3D printer. You gotta love our 'freedom'... ;-(

                    We've been building for 3 hours this evening. This is the result so far. The metal frame is really sturdy!

                    On sunday I will hopefully have something like this:

                      @ServiceXp I am just curious how they are go to do that.
                      I remember the same paranoia when the first full colour printers became a reality because it was too easy to create counterfeit money.
