I can see the headlines now: In freak accident, RepRap designer confuses inches for centimeters - dies of alcohol poisoning!

Congratulations!

It would beintresting to see some parts made by the machine, so we can compare it's build quality to other reprapmodels.

***I'll add my congrats (and suggest you could have fabbed a larger shot glass).***

Why not just drink two shots? After all the easiest way to double the output of your RepRap is to just make two. :-D

Yup - we're getting there. Some parts of Darwin still need to be moved from Solid Edge to AoI (a manual process...). When we've done that we'll put the lot in the mechanics section of the repository.

Damn nice bit of work guys.

What about storing all the AoI files of Darwin, etc, inside Subversion?

Most important things first: the Jack D's was from the Bath University Biomimetics research students' extensive but uncritically-assembled sideboard, whereas the Irish whiskey (Jameson's) came later at the Bowyer homestead (where I, personally, re-celibrated with a small measure of 10-year-old Laphroaig).

We'll try cooling next week, though things seem to be going OK without it at the moment.

Now I think about it, that 4Kg has got to be over the top. If I imagine putting all the bits in a bag and picking them up I can't see it weighing more than 1Kg or so.

I'm questioning the Irishness of a dram of Jack D's myself, but otherwise congrats all 'round!

Congrats Ed and Adrian. I keep feeling like I'm so far behind and I want to catch up so badly ;)
Well I have a pic programmer wired up that I just finished tonight. I'll blog it after I verify it works if I don't blow up my computer.

I'll add my congrats (and suggest you could have fabbed a larger shot glass).

Looking forward to some video showing this in operation.

Congrats to Ed and Adrian! :-D

***The lot took 100 hours, and used one cartridge (4 Kg, I think) of build material.***

In spite of all that steel rod you're using there is still 4 kg of plastic in a Darwin? Wow! :-o

I'm astonished that Brits are drinking Jack Daniels of all the unholy witches' brews. :-o

I've got a nice bottle of 12 year old MacAllan's single malt that's going to get a workout when Tommelise does it's shot glass. :-)

Hearty congrats., guys!

I'm guessing that you've not got a fan fitted to ARNIE? Build quality is much improved by a fan. In fact, I have a desk fan blowing air gently over mine in this weather all the time. Now that the heating element is enclosed in a trimmed bottle neck, gentle airflows don't affect it much.

Any AoI files of Darwin bits yet?

Vik :v)

PS Don't be too hard on Tux. When all you have is flippers, it's hard to hold your drink...

Apropos that, Ed's just about finished making the parts for the Darwin prototype on the Strat. The lot took 100 hours, and used one cartridge (4 Kg, I think) of build material.

So, that's shot glass #2, right? And I'm guessing ...

2007-02-02T21:32:00.000Z

So, that's shot glass #2, right? And I'm guessing Tommelise is pretty close to printing #3. Things are starting to pick up.

I wonder how long it'll be until we see a shot glass made by a second-generation reprap. (i.e. one made from reprapped parts)
