Hey everyone,
While I was in Maui I thought I would check out the only hacker/maker
space, so I caught up with Jerry Isdale of Maui Makers yesterday, and
helped assemble the B9creator 3d printer.
Maui Makers just lost their location, so I drove out to Haiku, where all
the gear is now. Haiku is close to the East side of the Island, and it's
more remote, rainy and generally beautiful like the rest of the island. In
Haiku, they had some really cool tools, like a laser cutter. I have a
decent picture of a cool LED backlit wood box that Tony and Jerry built
with a laser cutter.
It was actually really not too hard to do(although, I mostly just took
pictures). The directions are kind of like lego directions, you get pdfs
for different components, there are some written explanations with
pictures, and then a final assembly doc,...all and all, the design plans
were clear and straight-forward and all lego-like.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any printing, because the printing
solution didn't come with the printer. So, If you do get one of those
printers you need to order the printing solution. With the printing
solution, the whole set-up is about 1300 bucks. It's a bit on the pricey
side for a modest 3d printer, but it looks pretty high-quality when you
unpack everything. The parts were solid in my hand and it includes a
projector, so it doesn't seem overpriced.
Anyway, I'll send those images around when I get back... I might stay a bit
longer, but I haven't told my boss that yet ;) Heh, boss... what a weird
word. I don't think they have that out here... very mellow.
Cheers,
Rusty

to that end, can we get another raspberry pie downstairs ?
ASAP?
**AHEM**
paying someone $30 an evening for being the doorperson, is the only
acceptable alternative to having these two working. there has already been
another incident, last Saturday. AFAIK this makes FIVE.
what are we waiting for?**
i will try to drum up another plan b, which would be of neccessity a plan b
that i understand, and IMHO inferior to a reasonably accomplished senior
Sudoer's plan b.
one more thing:
considering that this list is public, i wonder if it isn't a breach of
security for me to go into further detail? as the configuration, know,
becomes vulnerable.
*you guys are awesome, and have enabled a religious experience (no shit) --
a rite of passage for me.
**i suppose i myself was waiting, among other things, to better understand
how things work in this collective.* i think the success curve has
flattened on that one. so if i am wrong, i trust someone will correct me.

You guys may have heard about this group doing DIY gieger counters and
crowdsourcing their data collection to aggregate radiation levels in the
followup to the Fukushima Disaster.
They just reached 10,000,000 individual data points! Cool project!
http://blog.safecast.org/2013/06/over-10000000-data-points/
Is there a list discussing Sudo room projects only? I'd like to filter out all these kick starter and non profit projects by people outside of sudoroom

A few months ago I lost a bracelet, it had a black strap with small dark
stone in the center ( a black opal
http://www.opal33.com/images/blackopalpic.jpg ). If anyone knows what I'm
talking about, or happened to have found said bracelet that would be
awesome.
Thanks,
Andrew
