    Thanks

  • Winners are announced in the blog, thanks for everyone who participated!

  • I am developing, with the upcoming help of experienced engineers and coders, an extruder that will help to revolutionise 3D printing, providing full colour, high resolution and fast speeds in printing, while at a cheap price (<$300)

     

    Since the road for the 3D industry is blocked by large companies such as 3D Systems, our aim is to find workarounds these patents, while remaining safe, with advice from legal consultants.

     

    The solder gauntlet would indeed prove extremely useful in the prototyping process since we will be doing a lot of electronic prototyping (we are making our own electric boards).

    In the near future, I hope to post further threads on these forums about this product.

     

    Not only is the world of manufacturing helped, but several medical fields will thrive as a result. Take, as an example, the 50,000 amputees in Sudan, many of whom require prosthetic limbs and arms. Project Danial, by Not Impossible, helped enlighten one boy's dream to have a partly functional arm one day. But he should not be the only one.  If our ideas our successful, we will push forward in the biomedical 3D printing field, helping and potentially saving lives.

     

    Please do help make this project a reality.

  • My Son and I watch your videos before he goes to sleep every night. His name is Max and he is nine years old. He is so excited by all of the projects you create that Friday morninghis favorite time of the week because you publish new videos. We built a raspberry pi mame handheld game based on your hand held pi mame project. We watched your video more than 60 times before he could convince me that he was capable of doing it. He did all of the electronics including desoldering components. You have inspired him to do amazing things. Just before Maker fair this year Max told me that he called you and talked to you on the phone. I have asked him never to do that again but if you are interested I can tell you how he got your number. I apologize for that invasion but iti is exemplary of how much you have influenced him.

     

     

    A Few weeks later I took him to Maker Faire 2014 in NY city and he spent the first several hours scanning the crowd for Ben Heck. On several occasions he was convinced he saw you and ran off into the crowd to say hello to you. There were a couple of panic stricken moments when I really thought I lost him. Thankfully I found him each time. I assume you were not there because he would have found you if you were there. I  Am writing in hopes of winning the texting radios so that we can take them to maker faire next year and use them in case we get separated. It would be the next best thing to meeting you in person and a lot less humiliating than having to wear a leash.

     

    THank you for all you do. You have given Max and I the foundation for literally hundreds of hours of quality time together and have helped Max develop an understanding of electronics that are well beyond his years.
