AN AMAZING PROJECT. Even if the founding campaign was closed (as a success) we wanted to share with you the story of this project: developing a 3D printer from trashware in Togo, and making it open source, and Rep Rap based. What to say more? Ecology. Technological Democracy. Solidarity. – Develop e-wasting and contribute to…
We usually don’t cover purely software stories but this project is really cool: an open source embroidery software for everyone. The project is still not live but you can send feedback or just get in touch with the developer if interested! Create your own custom embroidered apparel with this easy to use, cross-platform embroidery software….
The drone frenzy is not stopping: after years of drone fights, these guys ended up with the toughest Action-Sports AirFrame for drones and they’re currently raising funds on kickstarter for few days. Sadly, non open source. Sa The project was born in the SF Bay Area, the result of years of research in the unforgiving…
These guys are aiming to fund a 3D printer with position feedback control and DC Motors: it’s an interesting project and point of view…. despite non open source! RAPPY is a DC motor powered 3D printer equipped with position feedback control system that no other 3D printer in its category has. […] Did you know…
Another clever italian idea: these guys are crowdfunding their way to create the first segmented filament for 3d printing! THE IDEA StickFilament is a new filament system designed for FFF 3D printers. This system doesn’t aims to replace the spool, but to implement the traditional system in order to increase the range of available colors…
Synapse launches Kickstarter campaign for a Programmable Lucid Dreaming Headband. Despite it’s not clear whether this will be open source or not (at least the team mentioned being open source in the email they sent us) this project it’s kinda cool: After over two years of development, a team of lucid dreamers have working prototypes…
Do you remember Red Pitaya? That one wasn’t open source hardware. This new product instead, choose to develop all the framework in the open: maybe worth your support! The world’s first 100MS/s open source oscilloscope for iPad, Android and PC. A must-have for every Arduino and Raspberry Pi developer! The SmartScope is an open source…
Kinda nice project,equipped with open source software, still not sure the designs are Open Source. At least a creative shot! The MicroSlice is a Build-It-Yourself kit, uses Open Source Software, and can be easily assembled at home by just about anyone. What is the MicroSlice? The MicroSlice is a mini laser cutter & engraver. It…
An incredible new project on Kickstarter, an open source hardware (mini imitation) of an industrial Arm: quite cool! uArm is an Arduino-powered desktop 4-axis parallel-mechanism robot arm, modeled after the ABB industrial PalletPack robot. The Story When hearing the word “robot”, most of us may think of the giant industrial robot arms. They can precisely…
We are pretty used to open source boards but this is one of the few tools that are actually Open Souce: PCBGRIP is an electronics assembly system designed to make it easier to assemble and work on electronics. Completely customizable, with open source flexibility, it holds printed circuit boards (PCBs), components, stencils, and everything else…
Apeiros is a “low cost, open source, expandable, mobile robot that can be used for education, hobby and research related activities.” I designed and validated a robot that was used as a tool for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and as a tool for swarm robotics research. I have done my best to…
A beautiful project trying to create an open platform for telematics is rising funds on kickstarter! The name of Freematics stands for Free (as in freedom) and Telematics. The goal of this project is to make it possible, accessible, and affordable for people, especially makers, to carry out vehicle telematics projects with open-source hardware, more…
