3D Printer Fund
There has been a lot of buzz about 3D printers over the last year. Prices are coming down and resolution has been increasing. Klaiviel, our resident lockpicking guru, is attempting to start a business around it. We feel that DC414 as a whole needs their hands on this technology. We’re starting a 3D printer fund starting now.
There are many options to go with but we want to get the ball rolling while research is happening in parallel. Price range we’re looking at is between $500 and $1,000 for quality printers.
This won’t happen without help from people like you. Once purchases / assembled / hacked, our goal is to make the printer accept jobs from online. We’d queue up jobs and have a webcam feed to view progress when printing remotely. Notifications would be sent out to the author upon start, completion, and possibly other metrics we can get out of the printer.
- Donate $25+ gets you free stickers
- Donate $50+ gets you a free shirt
- Donate $100+ gets you free prints for 6 months
- Donate $150+ gets you free prints and priority for 6 months
Any size donation gets you on the thank you list.
As of now we have $233 in the fund. Make your donation now (look to the right) and lets get this ball rolling.
Meeting tonight
we will be meeting in the boardroom of bucketwork.
The big move
We just moved to a new server over seas to a place that should be a little more friendly then the US to keep the fuzz off our backs 🙂 Now we can get wild and crazy!
bucketwork.org build health event.
For 28 hours, from April 14-15, experts from the health care field will collaborate with hackers to solve relevant health care problems. Local health care experts will present contemporary health care challenges. Additionally, participants may present a health care challenge or solution. Participants will self-assemble around the problem or proposed solution they find most interesting and creatively problem solve, creating a working proof of concept to present to the judges. Solutions need not be software; they can be other instruments of social change.
Food, internet, and plenty of rest and work areas will be provided along with fabulous prizes!
Please visit BuildHealth.org for more info and to register.
