I am currently in the process of building an bike mounted enclosure for my old galaxy S2. It will allow GPS/video recording for whatever reason i choose. I am designing it so the phone will have a semi fixed case around it with a "universal" mounting system. Meaning, all i have to do a print off a custom mount, undo the wing nut and re-tighten it on the new mount. You could call it a go-pro rip off... lol.
I havn't even looked at the box or whats inside. In fact, i didn't even look at it when i bought it. I went to best buy, the guy pointed at this one, and i brought it home. What more do you want from me?!?!
It has been pretty solid for the most part. The kit i bought is designed to be a "tinker" toy. If youre someone who just wants it work out of the box, then its probably not for you. I did have one wire get wrapped up in the Z axis acme rod which cause the wire to sever. A quick solder and i was back in business.
The mixed review i was talking about was about a unit that you can buy online that is ready to go out of the box for under 500 bucks. Its got a pretty decent build area but the quality is iffy. Cheap =/= good value.
See below. You can design your own in autocad or some other free cad software.
The kit i purchased (you have to assemble it, takes about 4 hours) runs 349.99 right now. Its build volume is a bit small (100cmX100cmX100cm) but can be upgraded to print larger. Filament runs about 35$ per spool, and you get quite a bit of prints from one spool.
There are other ones you can buy complete online (IE XYZ Da Vinci) runs about $500 and comes complete ready to go. Very mixed reviews on that machine though so buy at your own risk.
Anyone else have one? What do you have? What do you print with it?
I picked up a Rrintrbot Simple Kit a few weeks back from microcenter and have no been able to stop playing with it. Great little starter machine if you like to tinker at a reasonable price. I am currently in the process of designing and printing pieces to make my own larger printer using the existing motors, and electronics. Once that is done the possibilities will be endless.

My father was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer in 2011 at age 51. It eventually spread to his liver in 2012. After 24 months of treatment there are no detectable cancer cells in his body now.
This is a Deepwater Ateleopodid (Ijimaia plicatellus) Otherwise known as a "Jelly nose fish"...They belong in Deepwater so my next question would be ....What has brought it inshore? Possibly the lack of food from oil resting on the bottom where it lives??
Nah i always run 87 premium too rich for my blood. I almost always have a CEL for misfires but its usually not even noticeable so i dont bother to investigate.
