$2,400 Home Fabrication Kit

$2,400 Home Fabrication Kit: “

$2,400 home fabrication kitI blogged the DIY fabrication kit made available by Fab@Home back in November, but it’s getting a new round of press, so it seems a good thing to flag again. The New Scientist has an article [spotted via Virtual Worldlets] about the do-it-yourself kit, which drops the price of a fabber from the $20,000 to $1.5 million range, down to about $2,400. ‘Full documentation on how to build and operate the machine, along with all the software required, are available on the Fab@Home website, and all designs, documents and software have been released for free,’ as the New Scientist notes. The Fab@Home site has also been updated with some cool movies and galleries, and a small community of DIY fabbers is beginning to develop via the site’s guest book. As I urged in November: get to work. Also: Is anyone using one of these things to fab items they’ve designed in a virtual world? Let us know.
