ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This is a robotic owl that looks around for cool people, and can tell whether you're happy or upset. If you're excited enough, he will eventually let you take a sticker (or other small giveaway). He's named Archimedes, after Merlin's familiar in TheOnceandFutureKing. Of course, it's also reminiscent of the cyborg owl in Blade Runner.
First up, if you don't know the Google AIY Vision Kit, check out the details here! This is the basis for the robot's smarts. The code for this project is coming soon.
It started when we were invited to contribute something to the Google booth at Bay Area Maker Faire. I took a really, really long time to figure out what to build—what it would look like, how it would animate, how it would dispense the stickers... in the end, I went with this cute and fairly challenging design.
This robot is versatile enough that I can bring it along to different events, such as the CODAME Artobots Festival and the Arm/Hackster Asia Tour (since the Raspberry Pi runs on an Arm chip, the Broadcom BCM2835). In other words, I can justify spending this much time on one project because I can re-use and iterate upon it. I'm also excited to have a sidekick in the office :)

Oskitone’s new and improved OKAY 2 is a mind-blowing DIY synth that you can 3D print and put together on your own. Hone your 3D printing and soldering skills with this sweet musical instrument and let the sounds sweep you away!
Looking for a new musical instrument to play? Why not use your 3D printer to create a synthesizer that is completely tailored to your style? Well, we’ve got a great project for all the musically-minded makers to take on over the weekend.
Last year, the San Francisco-based one-man musical instrument studio Oskitone released its first version of the OKAY synth, and has since refined the concept in a variety of ways. The new and improved OKAY 2 is an analog, monophonic, square wave synthesizer that is largely made up of 3D printed parts. It was designed on OpenSCAD and EAGLE by a man named Tommy, who is in charge of Oskitone.

Sie suchen Hilfe beim Selbstbau, Zugang zu 3D-Drucker, Lasercutter oder anderen Maschinen? In Fablabs, Makerspaces und offenen Werkstätten wird Ihnen geholfen. Die Makerspacekarte zeigt Ihnen, wo Sie in Ihrer Nähe Unterstützung finden.
Auch wer gerne allein im stillen Kämmerlein werkelt, darf sich Maker nennen. Oft macht es aber gemeinsam mehr Spaß. Im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt es aktuell über 200 Orte, an denen sich die Maker-Community trifft. Diese haben wir in einer Online-Karte zusammengefasst, damit Sie einfach mal nachschauen können, wo in Ihrer Region oder Stadt Gleichgesinnte zusammenkommen.
Von der Grundausstattung mit Werkzeug bis zur Open-Source-Software: alles Wichtige zum Einstieg ins Elektronik-Basteln vermittelt das Make-Sonderheft "Richtig loslegen".
In der Karte finden Sie Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, FabLabs, offene Werkstätten und andere vergleichbare Orte für Maker. Jeder dieser Treffpunkte ist anders ausgestattet und organisiert und setzt unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte. Vom Einraum-Hackspace mit Couch und 3D-Drucker bis zum geförderten Riesen-FabLab mit Dutzenden Profi-Maschinen ist alles dabei.

Cartesian Co.’s rapid prototyping machine is putting the “print" back in printed circuit boards. Despite how far 3D printing has come over the past couple of years, a number of startups have been looking for new ways to take it one step further. Rather than just spit out odds and ends in plastic, what if you could quickly extrude something a bit smarter, like circuit boards, on demand? That’s the idea behind Cartesian Co.’s rapid prototyping machine dubbed Argentum.

What are Exporters?
Exporters are native software features or external plug-ins that implement the Sketchfab API. They allow you to publish models directly to your Sketchfab account without leaving the 3D application. You can edit model metadata (name, description, tags) and Privacy options. In some exporters, you can also access advanced settings like lighting, texture baking, and decimation.

Recently I bought myself the latest model of 3D-printers from Formlabs, the Form2.
The Form 2 delivers high-resolution prints in Industrial 3D printing quality and it is very, very expensive. (I had been waiting (and saving money) for 3 years until I made the financial plunge to get such a machine)
But it has the huge advantage that dosen’t require a lot of tweaking and experimenting to run, you just take it out of the box, you install it and it runs !! It comes with the right software, the materials you need to use are in sich a packaging (1 Liter resin cartridges !) that you can concentrate on the objet you’re printing and not on the maintenance of the machine. The system recognises the resin type, configures settings, and allows you to keep track of resin supplies.
The Form 2 is a SLA printer where SLA stand for Stereolithography. SLA is an additive manufacturing – commonly referred to as 3D printing – technology that converts liquid materials into solid parts, layer by layer, by selectively curing them using a light source in a process called photopolymerization. SLA is widely used to create models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts for a range of industries from engineering and product design to manufacturing, dentistry, jewelry, model making, and education.

Versailles 3D est un outil formidable pour parler de Versailles à une classe. Que ce soit pour illustrer un cours d’histoire ou préparer une visite, le site fourmille de ressources utile à l’enseignant. En fléchant la partie du site consacré au jeu « Pagaille à Versailles », Versailles 3D peut aussi servir pour inviter les élèves à apprendre en s’amusant grâce à une technologie et un propos historique irréprochables. Ce projet auquel a collaboré Google est gratuit, ill mérite une place dans vos favoris.
Vous pouvez visiter Versailles 3D ici sur le Web.
