Hi Hol,
Why don't you guys use Hackteria's drill bit to drill the wells in the
aluminum heat block? They designed and ordered a custom bit specifically to
match the 17.5 degree cone angle used in OpenPCR, and they're willing to
let other groups borrow it. Perfect example of leveraging the global DIY
community!

Simon Field on the DIYbio list suggested a while back to cast the heat
block from a lower-melt alloy. That's potentially something that anyone
with a hot plate could achieve, and you could even use your own favorite
PCR tubes to make a perfectly fitting mold.

RE http://openpcr.org/tech-specs
how do the theoretical specs of our unit differ from this one? I was
thinking about how to cast that aluminum heatsink/well array last night...

Here's the "Build my Lab" contest on Instructables:
http://www.instructables.com/contest/buildmylab/
Prizes include:
Dear All,
Lina from Tekla labs has reached out and would love to have some entries
for the
DIY lab equipment contest from CCL and Sudo Room. If you're
interested please sign up :)
"Tekla Labs is about to launch a DIY Lab
equipment contest, hosted by the
maker site Instructables. We'll go live this
August (ie any day, as soon as
the final t's are crossed). There'll be a Lab Equipment category, as well
as a Lab Hacks option for quick and clever hardware solutions in the lab.
We'd love to get some help getting word out about the competition and maybe
see some Bay Area folks (and beyond) applying for the $5000 in prizes.
Even more immediately though, you and your DIY
network could really help
us out by simply helping us create some site activity by
joining our member
network (which only takes a minute! I promise! And there's no spam)
http://www.teklalabs.org/members/
Of course, it'd be awesome if you or others
submit designs (more soon) or
get involved in the competition itself in some other
capacity, but this
quick 1 minute favor would really help our group of fellow science
enthusiasts! Please help spread the word! Thanks,
