Daniel Speaking At Open Hardware Summit 2011 - watch live.

Not that I know of, but I can ask around. We are mostly software people here, I'm afraid.
I'll put it on the list for the meeting on sunday.

It turns out there's a local (to me) hackerspace with a lot of tools available. What equipment is necessary to build the new design? Their list of available hardware includes:

• 60W Universal Laser Systems Laser Cutter
• CarveWright CNC wood mill
• Grizzly manual mini-mill
• Two MakerBot 3D printers

Would I need more than that to build and donate one?

Looking forward to the full writeup!

The CarveWright should be able to do it. Can you find out the work envelope?

I plan to release everything by Friday, currently in the process of moving from SF to LA

"The machine can handle a workpiece up to 14.5" wide x 5.0" tall x 12' long."

It also says the max cutting depth is only 1", if that matters.

Are you interested in building a copy of this new scanner of mine, Miket61? I'm working on the design files now, trying to get them release ready. Sorry it's been so slow!

[browncoat]

We just had our weekly meeting and, though the details are still unclear, the build-project has been received positively. Once the plans are released we'll look into the details.

Yeah, I'll be posting drawings in DXF and CDR, as well as a video and a mess of pictures of the whole thing. Sorry it's taken me so long to do, but I plan to publish FULL documentation of everything under an open license. I basically have to get it done tonight and tomorrow afternoon, because after that I am off for a month of travel and contract work.

The artwork is shaping up... here is a teaser.
