Dutch architect to build “endless” house with 3D printer #3dthursday

EndlessHouse

Fascinating conceptual architecture problem that might well be possible to implement thanks to 3D printers, from 3Ders:

Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars (39) from Universe Architecture in Amsterdam designed a one-piece building which will be built on a 3D printer. He hopes the so-called Landscape House can be printed out latest in year 2014.

"One surface folded in an endless möbius band. Floors transform into ceilings, inside into outside. Production with innovative 3D printing techniques. Architecture of continuity with an endless array of applicability."

Ruijssenaars works together with mathematician and artist Rinus Roelofs to develop this project using 3D printing technology. The idea is to print the building in pieces and then put them together to form a complete piece. It will take one and a half year to finish the project.

Ruijssenaars plans to print every piece in size of 6 x 9 meters using a massive 3D printer called D-Shape. Designed by Italian inventor Enrico Dini, the D-Shape is potentially capable of printing a two story building using thin layers of sand and an inorganic binder to build up its constructions. Will the result be strong enough?

Ruijssenaars says Dini has suggested to print out the form only. And this "contours" of the house will be then filled with fiber reinforced concrete to get the desired strength.

Together with a Dutch construction company, Ruijssenaars is working with Dini to realize the idea. "It will be the first 3D printed building in the world. I hope it can be opened to the public when it's finished. "says Ruijssenaars.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don't forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you've made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we'll feature it here!

As RFID readers output serial or Wiegand then you can use any reader with an arduino.

Cubelets With 3D Printed Adapters at CES 2013 #3dthursday

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 01:00 AM PST

Details about Cubelets at CES 2013, collected together by 3ders.org featuring pieces by MAKE and InsideScienceTV:

Modular Robotics, the makers of Cubelets, were at the CES 2013 showing off their modular robotic construction kit for kids. The basic Cubelets kit (KT06) contains 6 Cubelets that can be snapped together to make a variety of robots with no programming and no wires. This is a perfect toy for teaching kids to learn robots and science. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light and other objects, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees. The basic kit KT06 costs $160 and an individul module costs around 20~30 dollars.

In the video above, Emily Plage made a demo of the cubes and the robots. Their newest cube is a Bluetooth module developed two months ago that you can use it to pair your Cubelets robot with your phone — read sensor values from far away or remote control your mobile robot. Or you can connect your Cubelets robot to your PC and reprogram any connected Cubelets using the Cubelets CODE web application and a simple API. The team also brought to CES a prototype of an adapter made on a 3D printer. It can be snapped on the robot and allows you to connect blocks, such as Lego bricks to your robot to make a robot in different shapes.

OK, my "planned" project is going to encompass multiple sensors to function as planned.

1. 3-Axis sensor to not only determine " tilt", but also "roll".
2. Temp and hygrometer.
3. Barometric Pressure sensor.
4. Anemometer.
5. IR sensor, with firing pul...

The Filabot Recycles Plastic for Desktop 3D Printers #3dthursday

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 12:00 AM PST

Above is the original Filabot Kickstarter video, and here's a quick update about the Filabot plastic recycler / filament extruder from The Guardian:

DIY desktop 3D-printers may be taking off, with basic flatpack models available for as little as £250, but the printing material itself still has a hefty price tag. A 1kg spool of plastic filament – which is heated then squeezed out in layers like icing to create objects – costs around £50, keeping it in reach of only the most enthusiastic hobbyists.

But the home-printing revolution may now be on its way, thanks to an invention by American college student Tyler McNaney. The Filabot brings a miniature industrial recycling plant to your desktop, grinding down everyday plastic waste and transforming it into ready-to-use printing material.

Everything from water pipes to drinks bottles, plastic wrappers and Lego bricks can be fed into the contraption – which grinds, melts and extrudes the plastic into a filament of either 3mm or 1.75mm diameters. It can also melt down failed or broken 3D prints, allowing for increased trial and error, or the ability to upgrade redundant parts.

"Filabot will bring the real power of sustainability to 3D-printing, allowing for a one-stop-shop to make anything," says McNaney, who launched the project on Kickstarter last year and raised more than three times his initial $10,000 goal. Fans paid $350 for the first-run version of the machine, although the public model is still under development and no official price has been announced. McNaney plans to launch a range of machines, at different levels of completion, to allow users to adapt and develop their own kit – from the Filabot Core (which comes without a grinder), to the open-source Filabot Wee, which users can build from downloadable plans.
