Open House 7/1

What do you do after a Maker Faire? Work on more printers, put together a robot as educational material for students, build another printer, start new projects, and create a homemade violin using the laser. Of course, there was plenty of the usual tinkering throughout the evening.

Printer building.

The first start to building a Rostock MAX (http://seemecnc.com/products/rostock-max-complete-kit).

Testing out a few laser cuts for a new project.

This is the kit that we are using to teach students in high school about robotics.

8bit violin build – As soon as we saw hammerspace demo their working 8 bit violin at the KC Maker Faire, we knew exactly how it was made. The only question we had was: “Where did you find the svg file for this?” They pointed us to the following places:
