:[Extra Blog H] - If someone came up to me, and asked me: “So, what good are these 3D printer things, anyway? Why would I want to have one?” I would reply first with it is a convenient way to replace small components of things that otherwise would be difficult to replace. An example of this can be the breakable smaller pieces of any furniture one can purchase at IKEA. In addition they are useful as a way of creating prototypes for engineering projects at an affordable cost to individuals in the academia world or at a discount for employees of companies.<br />
<br />
: There is also a wide application in the field of science to allow individuals to conduct experiments without having to have grants to fund their research. An example of this is the Mullis project which allows individuals to conduct genetic experiments without purchasing expensive PCR machines which can run in the thousands. To quote wikipedia, "Other applications would include creating open-source scientific equipment [41] or used for other science-based applications like reconstructing fossils in paleontology, replicating ancient and priceless artifacts in archaeology, reconstructing bones and body parts in forensic pathology and reconstructing heavily damaged evidence acquired from crime scene investigations." <br />
<br />

<br />
:[Extra Blog B] - I think there are better ways to structure the class time. The current description of course EDSGN 497D is "EDSGN 497D Open Source 3D Prining (3) Students build, test, and redesign open-sourse 3D printers, design models, and run a 3D printing service." The thing is students currently do not have to do all of these within the course to pass. Either the description for the course should be altered or the course should be altered to ensure students fulfill all of these descriptions by the end of the course.<br />
<br />
:The blog idea I think would be better replaced by requiring students writing papers on topics within engineering & 3D printing. Often one of the criticisms within the engineering department is that students often have sub-par writing skills. By having a writing portion of the class that students have to write with a professional manner, it allows for the course to have an added value of contributing a learning opportunity which is lacking in the majority of their classes. An example of this could be have students read this article: http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-cetera/3d-printed-baseball-bat-proves-perfectly-durable-20120916/. After reading the article have a prompt that says, "Write a 12 Times New Roman font double-spaced paper on potential everyday objects that can be replicated 3D printing and why or why not that would be a viable option. Use a minimum of two reliable sources in this paper."<br />
<br />
:In terms of the design process the papers I suggested above could be an excellent venue to combat this criticism. A prompt can ask something as simple as "Identify a need which could effectively be fulfilled by a use of a 3D printer, in this paper research this problem and develop one or more solutions using 3D printers." This addresses the first three parts of the engineering design process while allowing students to work on their writing abilities. <br />
<br />

<br />
:In response to the question asking if I would prefer locked or unlocked firmware for a self-driving car I would say this is a question that is making me choose the lesser of two evils. As a computer science major and programmer of course I want open firmware because I would want to be able to go in and understand the technology behind my car. However if I allowed someone to work on my car you would bet I would only signed contractual documents that would allow me to sue the living hell out of anyone who attempted to alter my car to their personal needs. <br />
<br />
:The second question is something that is currently debated in the programming community to this day which is open source versus closed source. I would say it depends upon the organization which produces the code, many companies like Intel/Sun Microsystems has successful products in which the majority of their code is closed-source. However they have the resources of highly-paid and qualified programmers who will spend their time to review and test the code. If a company was not well funded and do not have the resources of a company such as Intel, Open Source would be a much better option because using the online community would be a much more effective way of having a well tested product. <br />
<br />
:If the U.N. asked you to develop a sketch of a regulatory framework for 3D printing, I would decline. One could write guidelines, but trying to write a regulatory framework to be enforced by some governing body would be a naive dream at best and would be similar to trying to regulate people painting with brushes or drawing with pencils.<br />
<br />
:Doctorow's predictions for the future are plausible or likely because as he says, "[...]yet those people who are experts in policy and politics, not technical disciplines, nevertheless, often do manage to pass good rules that make sense, and that's because government relies on heuristics -- rules of thumbs about how to balance expert input from different sides of an issue." Ignorance is the root of many problems, as long as we have people in government writing and deciding upon policies in which they lack the knowledge to make informed decisions about will lead to unrealistic and poor policies and laws. <br />
<br />
:I do not believe the copyright law can be won. Unfortunately when it comes to politics unless if someone is attempting to commit a grave injustice, often whoever has the deeper pockets to lobby and petition the government to sway in their favor wins. The direction to go from the legal direction would be to raise awareness about the poor choices being made in terms of copyright law. In the illegal direction the hacktivist community will likely distribute methods to undermine the government and prove the futility of their laws. <br />

:My impression is if it has commercial viability by all means people should cater to this market. At the very least it is publicity for 3D printers. Personally I wouldn't buy one because I already have enough clutter in my house, however my mother would be likely to by kitsch like this. This is definitely viable business model, wax hand castings have sold for years so this should work as well. In the future prices for this may be driven down because if 3D printers become more common place the only advantage stores like this will have is individuals who are more highly trained at operating printers.<br />
<br />

<br />
:I think this would be an appropriate learning tool for high school level students and possibly 6th through 8th grade if adult supervision was added for STEM based education. Last semester I took an engineering elective class SCIED/ENGR 497C that was a collaborative class between engineering and education majors. The goal for the education majors was to understand the idea of integrating technology into their STEM based classes. For engineering majors our goal was to understand how education worked for science related concepts and how to simplify ideas in engineering at a level that non technical people and young children could grasp.<br />
<br />
:One important concept I learned from the class is the quickest way to bridge the gap between considering mathematics/science as this intimidating concepts that are only for "smart people" to understand is having visuals or hands-on experience for your target audience. With 3D printers the designs students make are no longer just visual representations on a pixel screen but real objects one can interact with.<br />
<br />
== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />

<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />
== Blog 7 ==<br />
<br />
:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />
<br />
:2. The difficulty we would have in implementing light piping using our printers is Disney according to their paper (http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/PrintedOptics/printedoptics-paper.pdf) on the subject used a Objet Eden260V™ printer which has more capabilities then our current printers.<br />
<br />
:3. The first applications that I might use for these are a display of the amount of pressure on a level/switch when it has pressure on it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 6 ==<br />
:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />
<br />

<br />
:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />
<br />
:To quote a user named idolcrasher from this article, <br />
<br />
:"The ethical dilemma here is that MakerBot has a website which collects open-source ideas, while running a business that sells closed source products. " - idolcrasher at [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,156007 Thingiverse from a Different Viewpoint ]<br />
<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic. No one currently has the resources to monitor the use of every 3D printer in current existence for illegal activity.<br />
<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />
:However I find the author's viewpoint that it is individuals with an intellectual background makes them unattractive to potential mates a naive generalization at best. I know people with an intellectual background (engineers/scientists/et cetera) who are fairly successful with attracting the gender of their choice. What I find is many people with these backgrounds suffer from a lack of social awareness. Bowyer writes, "[...]why we all want to tell people any inspired idea as soon as it comes into our heads.". I had a friend who is a biology major with a specialization in flora who would go on... and on to women he just met about whatever floral experiment he was involved with at the lab. In result he would bore women to tears and he was confused of why things never worked out for him. Many individuals with these scientific/intellectual backgrounds get so obsessed with their work they lack the social context to interact with others outside of their fields in my opinion. <br />
<br />
:3. I think that intellectual property as a concept being challenged is a likely probability if 3D printers become a mainstream device. However I think it is dependent upon how intellectual property law develops along with it, one should never underestimate the craftiness of lawyers. <br />
<br />
:Personally I am against the ending of intellectual property simply because it ensures artists receive compensation for their work. There are individuals/companies that currently exploit the system as it exists, however I think it is outweighed by the individuals that have a lively hood and can continue in their artistic endeavors because of it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 2 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think Boywer's goal of a ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ is feasible, however several obstacles remain in the way. First would be legal issues that may arise, what would stop people from obtaining blue-prints for popular commercial products by illegal means then creating far cheaper imitation products. Second obstacle goes hand in hand with the first obstacle which is businesses attempting to lobby government and use their wealth to prevent this device from taking business from them. Solar power, electric powered cars, and other newer industries deal with the problem of existing businesses attempting to prevent them from becoming successful. The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />

:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />

<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic. No one currently has the resources to monitor the use of every 3D printer in current existence for illegal activity.<br />
<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />
:However I find the author's viewpoint that it is individuals with an intellectual background makes them unattractive to potential mates a naive generalization at best. I know people with an intellectual background (engineers/scientists/et cetera) who are fairly successful with attracting the gender of their choice. What I find is many people with these backgrounds suffer from a lack of social awareness. Bowyer writes, "[...]why we all want to tell people any inspired idea as soon as it comes into our heads.". I had a friend who is a biology major with a specialization in flora who would go on... and on to women he just met about whatever floral experiment he was involved with at the lab. In result he would bore women to tears and he was confused of why things never worked out for him. Many individuals with these scientific/intellectual backgrounds get so obsessed with their work they lack the social context to interact with others outside of their fields in my opinion. <br />
<br />
:3. I think that intellectual property as a concept being challenged is a likely probability if 3D printers become a mainstream device. However I think it is dependent upon how intellectual property law develops along with it, one should never underestimate the craftiness of lawyers. <br />
<br />
:Personally I am against the ending of intellectual property simply because it ensures artists receive compensation for their work. There are individuals/companies that currently exploit the system as it exists, however I think it is outweighed by the individuals that have a lively hood and can continue in their artistic endeavors because of it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 2 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think Boywer's goal of a ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ is feasible, however several obstacles remain in the way. First would be legal issues that may arise, what would stop people from obtaining blue-prints for popular commercial products by illegal means then creating far cheaper imitation products. Second obstacle goes hand in hand with the first obstacle which is businesses attempting to lobby government and use their wealth to prevent this device from taking business from them. Solar power, electric powered cars, and other newer industries deal with the problem of existing businesses attempting to prevent them from becoming successful. The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

<br />
:In response to the question asking if I would prefer locked or unlocked firmware for a self-driving car I would say this is a question that is making me choose the lesser of two evils. As a computer science major and programmer of course I want open firmware because I would want to be able to go in and understand the technology behind my car. However if I allowed someone to work on my car you would bet I would only signed contractual documents that would allow me to sue the living hell out of anyone who attempted to alter my car to their personal needs. <br />
<br />
:The second question is something that is currently debated in the programming community to this day which is open source versus closed source. I would say it depends upon the organization which produces the code, many companies like Intel/Sun Microsystems has successful products in which the majority of their code is closed-source. However they have the resources of highly-paid and qualified programmers who will spend their time to review and test the code. If a company was not well funded and do not have the resources of a company such as Intel, Open Source would be a much better option because using the online community would be a much more effective way of having a well tested product. <br />
<br />
:If the U.N. asked you to develop a sketch of a regulatory framework for 3D printing, I would decline. One could write guidelines, but trying to write a regulatory framework to be enforced by some governing body would be a naive dream at best and would be similar to trying to regulate people painting with brushes or drawing with pencils.<br />
<br />
:Doctorow's predictions for the future are plausible or likely because as he says, "[...]yet those people who are experts in policy and politics, not technical disciplines, nevertheless, often do manage to pass good rules that make sense, and that's because government relies on heuristics -- rules of thumbs about how to balance expert input from different sides of an issue." Ignorance is the root of many problems, as long as we have people in government writing and deciding upon policies in which they lack the knowledge to make informed decisions about will lead to unrealistic and poor policies and laws. <br />
<br />
:I do not believe the copyright law can be won. Unfortunately when it comes to politics unless if someone is attempting to commit a grave injustice, often whoever has the deeper pockets to lobby and petition the government to sway in their favor wins. The direction to go from the legal direction would be to raise awareness about the poor choices being made in terms of copyright law. In the illegal direction the hacktivist community will likely distribute methods to undermine the government and prove the futility of their laws. <br />
<br />
== Blog 12 ==<br />
<br />
:My impression is if it has commercial viability by all means people should cater to this market. At the very least it is publicity for 3D printers. Personally I wouldn't buy one because I already have enough clutter in my house, however my mother would be likely to by kitsch like this. This is definitely viable business model, wax hand castings have sold for years so this should work as well. In the future prices for this may be driven down because if 3D printers become more common place the only advantage stores like this will have is individuals who are more highly trained at operating printers.<br />
<br />
== Blog 11 ==<br />
<br />
:I think this would be an appropriate learning tool for high school level students and possibly 6th through 8th grade if adult supervision was added for STEM based education. Last semester I took an engineering elective class SCIED/ENGR 497C that was a collaborative class between engineering and education majors. The goal for the education majors was to understand the idea of integrating technology into their STEM based classes. For engineering majors our goal was to understand how education worked for science related concepts and how to simplify ideas in engineering at a level that non technical people and young children could grasp.<br />
<br />
:One important concept I learned from the class is the quickest way to bridge the gap between considering mathematics/science as this intimidating concepts that are only for "smart people" to understand is having visuals or hands-on experience for your target audience. With 3D printers the designs students make are no longer just visual representations on a pixel screen but real objects one can interact with.<br />
<br />
== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />
== Blog 9 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />

:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />

My impression is if it has commercial viability by all means people should cater to this market. At the very least it is publicity for 3D printers. Personally I wouldn't buy one because I already have enough clutter in my house, however my mother would be likely to by kitsch like this. This is definitely viable business model, wax hand castings have sold for years so this should work as well. In the future prices for this may be driven down because if 3D printers become more common place the only advantage stores like this will have is individuals who are more highly trained at operating printers.<br />
<br />
== Blog 11 ==<br />
<br />
:I think this would be an appropriate learning tool for high school level students and possibly 6th through 8th grade if adult supervision was added for STEM based education. Last semester I took an engineering elective class SCIED/ENGR 497C that was a collaborative class between engineering and education majors. The goal for the education majors was to understand the idea of integrating technology into their STEM based classes. For engineering majors our goal was to understand how education worked for science related concepts and how to simplify ideas in engineering at a level that non technical people and young children could grasp.<br />
<br />
:One important concept I learned from the class is the quickest way to bridge the gap between considering mathematics/science as this intimidating concepts that are only for "smart people" to understand is having visuals or hands-on experience for your target audience. With 3D printers the designs students make are no longer just visual representations on a pixel screen but real objects one can interact with.<br />
<br />
== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />
== Blog 9 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />
== Blog 7 ==<br />
<br />
:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />
<br />
:2. The difficulty we would have in implementing light piping using our printers is Disney according to their paper (http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/PrintedOptics/printedoptics-paper.pdf) on the subject used a Objet Eden260V™ printer which has more capabilities then our current printers.<br />
<br />
:3. The first applications that I might use for these are a display of the amount of pressure on a level/switch when it has pressure on it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 6 ==<br />
:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />
<br />

<br />
:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />
<br />
:To quote a user named idolcrasher from this article, <br />
<br />
:"The ethical dilemma here is that MakerBot has a website which collects open-source ideas, while running a business that sells closed source products. " - idolcrasher at [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,156007 Thingiverse from a Different Viewpoint ]<br />
<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic. No one currently has the resources to monitor the use of every 3D printer in current existence for illegal activity.<br />
<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />
:However I find the author's viewpoint that it is individuals with an intellectual background makes them unattractive to potential mates a naive generalization at best. I know people with an intellectual background (engineers/scientists/et cetera) who are fairly successful with attracting the gender of their choice. What I find is many people with these backgrounds suffer from a lack of social awareness. Bowyer writes, "[...]why we all want to tell people any inspired idea as soon as it comes into our heads.". I had a friend who is a biology major with a specialization in flora who would go on... and on to women he just met about whatever floral experiment he was involved with at the lab. In result he would bore women to tears and he was confused of why things never worked out for him. Many individuals with these scientific/intellectual backgrounds get so obsessed with their work they lack the social context to interact with others outside of their fields in my opinion. <br />
<br />
:3. I think that intellectual property as a concept being challenged is a likely probability if 3D printers become a mainstream device. However I think it is dependent upon how intellectual property law develops along with it, one should never underestimate the craftiness of lawyers. <br />
<br />
:Personally I am against the ending of intellectual property simply because it ensures artists receive compensation for their work. There are individuals/companies that currently exploit the system as it exists, however I think it is outweighed by the individuals that have a lively hood and can continue in their artistic endeavors because of it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 2 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think Boywer's goal of a ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ is feasible, however several obstacles remain in the way. First would be legal issues that may arise, what would stop people from obtaining blue-prints for popular commercial products by illegal means then creating far cheaper imitation products. Second obstacle goes hand in hand with the first obstacle which is businesses attempting to lobby government and use their wealth to prevent this device from taking business from them. Solar power, electric powered cars, and other newer industries deal with the problem of existing businesses attempting to prevent them from becoming successful. The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

On this page you will find the current status of the Unit M Mondo. Our Mendel Unit is a Techzone laser-cut Mondo. So far, we have replaced the extruder (11/8/12) since the Techzone wooden extruder used springs to tension the idler. The new extruder improves this by using two bolts to tighten the idler. Eventually the plan is to use this large unit with a dual extruder. Much more information can be found at [[RUG/Pennsylvania/State_College/Dual_Extruder]]<br />
<br />
We are having trouble getting the Techzone thermocouple and tip board working with Ramps. Currently we are using an additional thermistor attached to the hot tip, but this is causing a lower temperature to be read by the board. <br />

== Blog 11 ==<br />
<br />
:I think this would be an appropriate learning tool for high school level students and possibly 6th through 8th grade if adult supervision was added for STEM based education. Last semester I took an engineering elective class SCIED/ENGR 497C that was a collaborative class between engineering and education majors. The goal for the education majors was to understand the idea of integrating technology into their STEM based classes. For engineering majors our goal was to understand how education worked for science related concepts and how to simplify ideas in engineering at a level that non technical people and young children could grasp.<br />
<br />
:One important concept I learned from the class is the quickest way to bridge the gap between considering mathematics/science as this intimidating concepts that are only for "smart people" to understand is having visuals or hands-on experience for your target audience. With 3D printers the designs students make are no longer just visual representations on a pixel screen but real objects one can interact with.<br />
<br />
== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />
== Blog 9 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />
== Blog 7 ==<br />
<br />
:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />
<br />
:2. The difficulty we would have in implementing light piping using our printers is Disney according to their paper (http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/PrintedOptics/printedoptics-paper.pdf) on the subject used a Objet Eden260V™ printer which has more capabilities then our current printers.<br />
<br />
:3. The first applications that I might use for these are a display of the amount of pressure on a level/switch when it has pressure on it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 6 ==<br />
:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />
<br />
== Blog 4 ==<br />
<br />
:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />
<br />
:To quote a user named idolcrasher from this article, <br />
<br />
:"The ethical dilemma here is that MakerBot has a website which collects open-source ideas, while running a business that sells closed source products. " - idolcrasher at [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,156007 Thingiverse from a Different Viewpoint ]<br />
<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic.

<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />
:However I find the author's viewpoint that it is individuals with an intellectual background makes them unattractive to potential mates a naive generalization at best. I know people with an intellectual background (engineers/scientists/et cetera) who are fairly successful with attracting the gender of their choice. What I find is many people with these backgrounds suffer from a lack of social awareness. Bowyer writes, "[...]why we all want to tell people any inspired idea as soon as it comes into our heads.". I had a friend who is a biology major with a specialization in flora who would go on... and on to women he just met about whatever floral experiment he was involved with at the lab. In result he would bore women to tears and he was confused of why things never worked out for him. Many individuals with these scientific/intellectual backgrounds get so obsessed with their work they lack the social context to interact with others outside of their fields in my opinion. <br />
<br />
:3. I think that intellectual property as a concept being challenged is a likely probability if 3D printers become a mainstream device. However I think it is dependent upon how intellectual property law develops along with it, one should never underestimate the craftiness of lawyers. <br />
<br />
:Personally I am against the ending of intellectual property simply because it ensures artists receive compensation for their work. There are individuals/companies that currently exploit the system as it exists, however I think it is outweighed by the individuals that have a lively hood and can continue in their artistic endeavors because of it.<br />

:1. I think Boywer's goal of a ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ is feasible, however several obstacles remain in the way. First would be legal issues that may arise, what would stop people from obtaining blue-prints for popular commercial products by illegal means then creating far cheaper imitation products. Second obstacle goes hand in hand with the first obstacle which is businesses attempting to lobby government and use their wealth to prevent this device from taking business from them. Solar power, electric powered cars, and other newer industries deal with the problem of existing businesses attempting to prevent them from becoming successful. The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

<br />
:I think this would be an appropriate learning tool for high school level students and possibly 6th through 8th grade if adult supervision was added for STEM based education. Last semester I took an engineering elective class SCIED/ENGR 497C that was a collaborative class between engineering and education majors. The goal for the education majors was to understand the idea of integrating technology into their STEM based classes. For engineering majors our goal was to understand how education worked for science related concepts and how to simplify ideas in engineering at a level that non technical people and young children could grasp.<br />
<br />
:One important concept I learned from the class is the quickest way to bridge the gap between considering mathematics/science as this intimidating concepts that are only for "smart people" to understand is having visuals or hands-on experience for your target audience. <br />
With 3D printers the designs students make are no longer just visual representations on a pixel screen but real objects one can interact with. <br />
<br />
== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />
== Blog 9 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />
== Blog 7 ==<br />
<br />
:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />
<br />
:2. The difficulty we would have in implementing light piping using our printers is Disney according to their paper (http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/PrintedOptics/printedoptics-paper.pdf) on the subject used a Objet Eden260V™ printer which has more capabilities then our current printers.<br />
<br />
:3. The first applications that I might use for these are a display of the amount of pressure on a level/switch when it has pressure on it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 6 ==<br />
:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />
<br />
== Blog 4 ==<br />
<br />
:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />
<br />
:To quote a user named idolcrasher from this article, <br />
<br />
:"The ethical dilemma here is that MakerBot has a website which collects open-source ideas, while running a business that sells closed source products. " - idolcrasher at [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,156007 Thingiverse from a Different Viewpoint ]<br />
<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic. No one currently has the resources to monitor the use of every 3D printer in current existence for illegal activity.<br />
<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />

<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Current Progress ==<br />
[[RUG/Pennsylvania/State_College|Penn State RUG]] has begun very preliminary initial research on a waste recramation system for turning polyethylene into filament. Further research will be conducted over coming semesters and information will be updated here.<br />
<br />
== Research ==<br />
===Materials===<br />
Different types of polyethylene are being considered as material choices. Polyethylene has a low melting point (between 248 and 265 degrees F), can be melted and reshaped repeatedly, non-toxic, and produces little to no fumes. Two different types are High Density (#2) and Low Density (#4). <br />
<br />
<br />
*[[HDPE]]<br />
*[[LDPE]]<br />
<br />
===Processing Considerations===<br />
<br />
The milk jugs first will need to be shredded. This can be done by hand with scissors but would not be efficient on a larger scale. The idea of obtaining a heavy strength paper shredder is proposed. Other ideas are a blender or home made grinder. To melt the plastic, a heating element is needed. Potential elements for experimentation were considered from a toaster, glue gun, coffee maker, or hair dryer. Nicrome wire is a good idea and can be found in toasters and hair dryers. Leads for further research are to look into "hobby injection molding" and "vacuum forming".<br />
<br />
===Observations===<br />
A one gallon, HDPE, milk jug was cut into small pieces and placed in an electric oven. The temperature was raised to various temperatures above the melting point range between 248 and 265 degrees F. It was found that when heated beyond 300 degrees F the material begins to "brown". The material, when melted, was not a flowing liquid consistency but rather thick and pliable. This shows that the material will need to some how be forced or pulled to the tip in the forthcoming design.<br />

<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

=Welcome!=<br />
<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />
<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

=Welcome!=<br />
<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />
<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

<br />
Pointers: <br />
<br />
-Always use a 4th stepper controller to drive the extruder, save yourself the trouble of trying to use the extruder controller to drive that motor, and let it focus on its other tasks....<br />
<br />
-If you are new to repraps, but are staring down a new TechZone kit, the extruder you are looking at is probably printed, and looks unlike the wooden one in the wiki above. Look at this: [[Wade's_Geared_Extruder]].<br />
<br />
-Even using the same starting components, variations in tip wiring and thermocouple placement lead to variations ideal operating temperature. Test a new tip by starting at 150C, and boosting by 5-10 degree increments until the filament flows through the tip. It should probably be able to be pushed through the tip by hand - one can clamp the tip onto a 2x4 and observe this. Alternatively, you can just have it mounted and observe the same process. Some small amounts of smoke can be typical for a new tip, depending on how it was put together, but it should be able to maintain the proper temperature without smoking shortly thereafter. Any more smoke than this and you've got bigger problems.<br />
<br />
-The extruder supplied by techzone can be clipped in place with twisty ties or zip ties on the back and a strong binder clip holding down the front . While some may find this too crude, it is useful if one has to remove the extruder with any frequency. <br />
<br />
-Adjusting the Z-height zero properly is an art. Becoming adept at this adjustment will be of great benefit.<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The Mullis (named after Kary Mullis, winner of the Nobel Prize for PCR) is a project of the [[RUG/Pennsylvania/State College | State College Reprap Users Group]]. It is an open source, RepRap based PCR machine. The design uses a readily available tray for PCR, which is carried back and forth between two heated containers. It is easily converted from an [[Open Hybrid Mendel | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or any Mendel Derivative.<br />
<br />
<center><videoflash>-wOpyRrMT68</videoflash></center><br />
<br />
''UPDATE 2/27/12: First PCR reaction was successful, but had a lot of room for improvement. Pictures and results soon.'' <br />
<br />
== Mullis v. 1 ==<br />
<br />
The Mullis v.1 is designed to be built from the Open Hybrid Mendel (OHM) with as little modification as possible. It uses a combination of the open x carriage and the y axis motor assembly. The PCR tray is raised and lowered by a winch system into two separate heated water baths. The tray moves on an extended x axis between the two water baths. <br />

<br />
Extra Vitamins<br />
<br />
- Two smooth rods, approximately 36 inches in length.<br />
<br />
- One PCR tray, loaded with samples.<br />
<br />
- One tall laboratory stand to mount the axis well above the water baths. <br />
<br />
- Two independently heated, temperature controlled water baths. The baths need to be significantly larger than the tray.<br />
<br />
==Gcode==<br />
The Gcode for the Mullis consists of a header, then code for one cycle which is repeated for the desired number of cycles. Here is the commented code that we used. Values need to be adjusted based on distances, materials, and extruder design. Due to the limited processing power of the electronics for the Reprap, I recommend deleting the comments before running the code. A python script to generate this code is coming soon.<br />
<br />
''M28 X18 ; home x axis<br />
<br />
''G91 ; use relative positioning<br />
<br />
''G1 X10 F2200 ; these three lines are the header ''<br />
<br />
G1 F50000 ; this is the speed of the motor, adjust it to make the extruder go faster or slower. <br />
<br />
G1 E2500 ; Lower tray for a length of units. To go farther, adjust the number after the E (extrude). <br />
<br />
G4 P30000 ; this is the pause command. P is the time paused in milliseconds.<br />
<br />
G1 F50000<br />
<br />
G1 E-2500 ; this moves the extruder backwards, retracting the PCR tray<br />
<br />
G1 F2200 <br />
<br />
G1 X250 F2200 ; this moves the x carriage to the next bath. the number after the F controls the speed (feedrate). <br />
<br />
G1 F50000<br />
<br />
G1 E2500 F50000 ; Lower PCR tray 2500 steps<br />
<br />
G4 P30000 ; pause for 30 seconds<br />
<br />
G1 E-2500 F50000 ; Raise PCR tray by 2500 steps<br />
<br />
G1 F2200<br />
<br />
G1 X-250 F2200; move PCR tray to first bath. <br />
<br />
; this sequence will be repeated for each cycle of the PCR process.<br />
<br />
==PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)==<br />
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a DNA replicationg technique. A DNA sample is set in a solution containing primers and nucleotides (A,T,C,G). The DNA is heated up quickly, so that it denatures (untwists) and then separates. It is then annealed (cooled), allowing the primers to attach to the open halves of the DNA strands. Next, an enzyme (Taq polymerase) extends the strands by allowing complimentary nucleotides to become attached to each open strand of DNA. This results in two separate but identical strands. The process is repeated until millions of copies of the sample are made. (For more on PCR, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCR ).<br />
<br />
Normally, PCR machines cost several thousands of dollars. Our goal is to make this technology available open source. All you will need is a RepRap, a PCR tray (which can be printed), and heating.</div>Afs2015https://reprap.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mullis&diff=73013Mullis2012-11-28T00:16:30Z<p>Afs2015: moved Mullis to RUG/Pennsylvania/State College/Mullis:&#32;The Mullis project is from the State College RepRap user group.</p>

<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

=Welcome!=<br />
<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

== Blog 11 ==<br />
<br />
I think this would be an appropriate learning tool for high school level students and possibly 6th through 8th grade if adult supervision was added for STEM based education. Last semester I took an engineering elective class SCIED/ENGR 497C that was a collaborative class between engineering and education majors. The goal for the education majors was to understand the idea of integrating technology into their STEM based classes. For engineering majors our goal was to understand how education worked for science related concepts and how to simplify ideas in engineering at a level that non technical people and young children could grasp.<br />
<br />
One important concept I learned from the class is the quickest way to bridge the gap between considering mathematics/science as this intimidating concepts that are only for "smart people" to understand is having visuals or hands-on experience for your target audience. <br />
With 3D printers the designs students make are no longer just visual representations on a pixel screen but real objects one can interact with. <br />
<br />
== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />
== Blog 9 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />
== Blog 7 ==<br />
<br />
:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />
<br />
:2. The difficulty we would have in implementing light piping using our printers is Disney according to their paper (http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/PrintedOptics/printedoptics-paper.pdf) on the subject used a Objet Eden260V™ printer which has more capabilities then our current printers.<br />
<br />
:3. The first applications that I might use for these are a display of the amount of pressure on a level/switch when it has pressure on it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 6 ==<br />
:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />
<br />
== Blog 4 ==<br />
<br />
:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />
<br />
:To quote a user named idolcrasher from this article, <br />
<br />
:"The ethical dilemma here is that MakerBot has a website which collects open-source ideas, while running a business that sells closed source products. " - idolcrasher at [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,156007 Thingiverse from a Different Viewpoint ]<br />
<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic. No one currently has the resources to monitor the use of every 3D printer in current existence for illegal activity.<br />
<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />
:However I find the author's viewpoint that it is individuals with an intellectual background makes them unattractive to potential mates a naive generalization at best. I know people with an intellectual background (engineers/scientists/et cetera) who are fairly successful with attracting the gender of their choice. What I find is many people with these backgrounds suffer from a lack of social awareness. Bowyer writes, "[...]why we all want to tell people any inspired idea as soon as it comes into our heads.". I had a friend who is a biology major with a specialization in flora who would go on... and on to women he just met about whatever floral experiment he was involved with at the lab. In result he would bore women to tears and he was confused of why things never worked out for him. Many individuals with these scientific/intellectual backgrounds get so obsessed with their work they lack the social context to interact with others outside of their fields in my opinion. <br />
<br />
:3. I think that intellectual property as a concept being challenged is a likely probability if 3D printers become a mainstream device. However I think it is dependent upon how intellectual property law develops along with it, one should never underestimate the craftiness of lawyers. <br />
<br />
:Personally I am against the ending of intellectual property simply because it ensures artists receive compensation for their work. There are individuals/companies that currently exploit the system as it exists, however I think it is outweighed by the individuals that have a lively hood and can continue in their artistic endeavors because of it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 2 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think Boywer's goal of a ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ is feasible, however several obstacles remain in the way. First would be legal issues that may arise, what would stop people from obtaining blue-prints for popular commercial products by illegal means then creating far cheaper imitation products. Second obstacle goes hand in hand with the first obstacle which is businesses attempting to lobby government and use their wealth to prevent this device from taking business from them. Solar power, electric powered cars, and other newer industries deal with the problem of existing businesses attempting to prevent them from becoming successful. The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

=Introduction=<br />
<br />
The [[Open_Hybrid_Mendel | Open Hybrid Model (OHM)]] has several advantages over the generic [[Mendel | Mendel]] model. Mainly, it is more flexible. The printing board is designed to easily pop off the machine without unscrewing any parts. <br />
<br />
All STL files mentioned in this article are referring to and can be downloaded from [[Open_Hybrid_Mendel#Parts|OHM Parts]] section.<br />
<br />
=Mechanical Construction=<br />
==Frame==<br />
To make the frame triangles, 6 [[Open_Hybrid_Mendel#Parts|frame vertices]], 2 bar clamps and 6 threaded bolts are needed.<br />

== Blog 10 ==<br />
<br />
: A future where 3D technology is more widespread I can envision several developments. The first would be the ability for individuals to have more customized cubicles and rooms. An example of this would be how many desks have you seen at Penn State with miniature replicas of the Lion Shrine? Individuals would easily be able to recreate works of art or things that inspire them to decorate their desks or homes. <br />
<br />
:In addition the world of board game development would be more open to individuals entering the market because anyone with creativity, skill for game design, and artistic skill or friends that can do that could develop their own versions of popular board games such as Warhammer 40k or Risk. Figurines for these games which traditionally come in sometimes expensive kits can be easily printed and assembled. <br />
<br />
:A change we may not expect though is the increase of price of hand-crafted goods. Because things that are already manufactured in factories will become even more available, the value of products which take time by humans to produce could increase.<br />
<br />
== Blog 9 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think a library could definitely benefit by having a fabrication lab/makespace. However it would have to be implemented in an environment that is appropriate to have a lab. There would definitely need to be some sort of supervision or training program before using the printers otherwise they could be damaged by careless or outright malicious users. In addition they would have to be put in enclosed environments in order to not disturb other library patrons.<br />
<br />
: I am familiar with the Paterno/Pattee Library, Engineering Library, Mathematics Library, as well as the Allen St. Library. I would say out of the libraries on the list the engineering library/mathematics library would be the best choices. However I am unsure if either library has the space for an idea like this to be physically implemented.<br />
<br />
== Blog 8 ==<br />
:1. Yes it does support my argument because to quote the article, "It has all the makings of the much-maligned digital rights management (DRM) system that prevented copying of Apple iTunes tracks - until it was abandoned as a no-hoper in 2009." (Marks) Government can attempt to regulate this all the they want but it is highly unlikely any organization has the resources to regulate every 3D printer in the world.<br />
<br />
:2. The technological world might find a use for it, but if it does I hope it is under a different patent then a company that is essentially a patent troll.<br />
<br />
== Blog 7 ==<br />
<br />
:1. The implications I can imagine resulting from being able to create optical sensing devices is the ability to make devices with an interactive experience. This could range from entertainment devices, safety mechanisms for manufacturing, to even military applications.<br />
<br />
:2. The difficulty we would have in implementing light piping using our printers is Disney according to their paper (http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/PrintedOptics/printedoptics-paper.pdf) on the subject used a Objet Eden260V™ printer which has more capabilities then our current printers.<br />
<br />
:3. The first applications that I might use for these are a display of the amount of pressure on a level/switch when it has pressure on it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 6 ==<br />
:1. I think bio-printing if standardized and heavily tested could be a useful tool in the health care industry. However liability issues that would arise from using the products of these machines would definitely be a concern.<br />
<br />
:2. I could see it being used for bio-research but I think it would be utilized by higher end commercial machines for awhile before it trickles down to DIY machines. The reason for this being is because higher end commercial machines are often standardized and not as susceptible to the issues that arise in DIY 3D printers because of the individual nature of each printer.<br />
<br />
== Blog 5 ==<br />
:1. My first reaction would be to consult legal advice and see if any contracts or agreements signed for the machine was broken.<br />
<br />
:2. I truly think while you can use scare tactics to attempt regulate it, ultimately if someone is dead-set on manufacturing something with their 3D printer they will get hold of the resources they need through legal or illegal means.<br />
<br />
:3. Other 3D printable constructs that may warrant similar attention/derision/prohibition are components used in military grade weapons. This is not just limited to guns but missile technology, tank components, and the list could go on. Because these are utilized as not just trade secrets, but national security issues it could cause a lot of controversy if an individual attempted to replicate them.<br />
<br />
== Blog 4 ==<br />
<br />
:My opinion on Makerbot's position until the dust settles is simply wait. It is a rash to make a decision based on hearsay and not on facts. If what is speculated is true though, the open-source open replicator community does have something to worry about. <br />
<br />
:To quote a user named idolcrasher from this article, <br />
<br />
:"The ethical dilemma here is that MakerBot has a website which collects open-source ideas, while running a business that sells closed source products. " - idolcrasher at [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,156007 Thingiverse from a Different Viewpoint ]<br />
<br />
:Though after reading this [http://blog.thingiverse.com/2012/09/26/terms-of-service-and-moral-rights-explained/ article] by Thingaverse's lawyer I am inclined to believe for now the community is just having temporarily a backlash reaction. However as a Computer Science major I see a great problem in their drastic change of the Terms of Services (TOS) without a tactful manner of informing their user base about it. It is disrespectful at best and insidious at worst.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Blog 3 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think they will only attempt to enact DRM on digital printing if it becomes a significant enough factor that it cuts into companies that benefit from DRM profits. However like with currently DRM it will have limited effectiveness at best and only effectively work as a scare tactic. No one currently has the resources to monitor the use of every 3D printer in current existence for illegal activity.<br />
<br />
:2. My two things I have a passion for are computer science and swing dancing. While both have the ability to earn me money, computer science tends to lend itself more in that department. Whereas having the ability to dance is usually more conducive to impressing women. <br />
<br />
:However I find the author's viewpoint that it is individuals with an intellectual background makes them unattractive to potential mates a naive generalization at best. I know people with an intellectual background (engineers/scientists/et cetera) who are fairly successful with attracting the gender of their choice. What I find is many people with these backgrounds suffer from a lack of social awareness. Bowyer writes, "[...]why we all want to tell people any inspired idea as soon as it comes into our heads.". I had a friend who is a biology major with a specialization in flora who would go on... and on to women he just met about whatever floral experiment he was involved with at the lab. In result he would bore women to tears and he was confused of why things never worked out for him. Many individuals with these scientific/intellectual backgrounds get so obsessed with their work they lack the social context to interact with others outside of their fields in my opinion. <br />
<br />
:3. I think that intellectual property as a concept being challenged is a likely probability if 3D printers become a mainstream device. However I think it is dependent upon how intellectual property law develops along with it, one should never underestimate the craftiness of lawyers. <br />
<br />
:Personally I am against the ending of intellectual property simply because it ensures artists receive compensation for their work. There are individuals/companies that currently exploit the system as it exists, however I think it is outweighed by the individuals that have a lively hood and can continue in their artistic endeavors because of it.<br />
<br />
== Blog 2 ==<br />
<br />
:1. I think Boywer's goal of a ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ is feasible, however several obstacles remain in the way. First would be legal issues that may arise, what would stop people from obtaining blue-prints for popular commercial products by illegal means then creating far cheaper imitation products. Second obstacle goes hand in hand with the first obstacle which is businesses attempting to lobby government and use their wealth to prevent this device from taking business from them. Solar power, electric powered cars, and other newer industries deal with the problem of existing businesses attempting to prevent them from becoming successful. The last obstacle is certain materials/components of this constructor are difficult to self-replicate with current technology because of either the assembly process or the materials required. <br />
<br />
:2. Wealth without money means the idea that one can have a certain standard of living without having to have an income at a certain level. It's the idea of giving each individual the ability to produce what not just want they need, but even what they want. In terms of the RepRap project, it's the idea that with this ‘self-replicating universal constructor’ one can literally produce things they need in their everyday life from brooms to other constructor devices. <br />
<br />
:The biggest implication I see from this advancement in technology is if the material to produce these devices are cheap then an excess of waste because people would produce objects on whims. In addition perhaps durability of things would become less of a priority since they could be easily replaced. An interesting side effect I would think would be an increase in the value of art, in a world where anything can be manufactured electronically perhaps things manufactured by hand would take on a new value.<br />
<br />
:3. I think the RepRap project will evolve in the future in different ways. First will be the introduction of new materials that can be used by the machines. ABS and Polylactic acid are currently the two most used materials in RepRap machines, however recent successes have been made in creating ceramics. With some research and development, I think the utilization of different materials can open up many new possibilities for these machines are able to create. While the RepRap community encourages experimentation as part of an open source community I think another way the project can make signification leaps and bounds is standardization. If a machine built in a certain way to specification can create predictable results when creating certain products, this may open up the RepRap project to becoming more viable for rapid manufacturing.<br />

=Welcome!=<br />
<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is printing website here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

<br />
3.1 - While it seems hard for either governments or corporations to stop such a movement, prohibition schemes have been tried before. What might a "3D Printer prohibition act" look like?<br />
<br />
3.3 - You might be surprised to know that with many patents these days, the initial creator may get little or no credit/money in comparison to the corporation they were working for at the time the patent was filed. Perhaps his argument is less about 'destroying IP', and more about creating a world in which the free exchange of designs manifests new modes of interaction. Could you imagine someone being well known for the quality of printable designs which they release? <br />
<br />
2.1 - Most people focus on the practical problems first, but you've noted the '2nd order' obstacles. The first problem you note isn't really stopped by current protections though, is it? Cheap Rolex', Foakleys, etc.. <br />
<br />
2.2 - Good points - I think AB was also stressing this as an 'affordable means of production', as in, something that more than just rich people might have access to.<br />
<br />
2.3 - Different materials are a big one. Have you seen anyone using the ceramic extruder at all? We should make one....<br />

Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is printing website here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
===Submission Process ===<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />

<br />
[http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ Printiverse] is printing website here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.<br />
<br />
All order submissions go through a four step process known as Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete. <br />
<br />
*Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit. <br />
<br />
*Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team. <br />
<br />
*In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.<br />
<br />
*Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.<br />

=Welcome!=<br />
<br />
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki! <br />
<br />
*Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at [http://themakespace.com/ The Make Space], downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.<br />
<br />
*Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the [[Mendel | Mendel]] and [[Prusa Mendel | Prusa]] RepRap designs which we call the [[Ohm | Open Hybrid Mendel]], or [[Ohm | OHM]] for short. We also are developing the RepRap [[Mullis]] as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.<br />
<br />
*Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!<br />
<br />
= What's New? =<br />
<br />
For what used to be new, check [[/History|PSU RUG History]].<br />
<br />
*'''9.17.12''': Archived news 3+ months older. More news should be posted soon!<br />
=Printiverse=<br />
<br />
This is our printing website where we receive orders from students and faculty here at Penn State. We then evaluate and print them if applicable. You can also go through and see all the prints that have ever been completed through the [http://gamebah.com/printaverse/ printiverse] website.<br />
<br />
=Electronics & Software=<br />
<br />
*All information about our [[/Electronics|electronics]] that we use, including firmware can be found here.<br />
<br />
*Anything and everything that deals with [[/Software|software]] will be here eventually. (WIP)<br />
<br />
*REPSNAPPER: Here is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL1NFGRR4rY basic video tutorial] to help you get started!<br />

2.1 - Every part has some issues to deal with replicating. You'll find that single level circuitry has been done and there are some designs for stepper systems which don't use stepper motors. The microconrollers are tricky....but hey, Arduinos are available at radioshack now. See what you can find, I bet you'd be surprised at what's been accomplished.<br />
<br />
2.2 - Your interpretation of Bowyer's phrase is pretty apt, not everyone gets that part. Having your own miniature factory is a kind of wealth. We will discuss patents and IP soon enough.<br />
<br />
2.3 - Your post is inspiring. You should add some links to it to support your argument.<br />
<br />
Note:<br />
<br />
If you are adjusting the printer statuses please use the color codes specified in [http://reprap.org/wiki/Talk:RUG/Pennsylvania/State_College here], thanks!<br />

On this page you will find the current status of the Unit M Mondo. Our Mendel Unit is a Techzone laser-cut Mondo. So far, we have replaced the extruder (11/8/12) since the Techzone wooden extruder used springs to tension the idler. The new extruder improves this by using two bolts to tighten the idler. Eventually the plan is to use this large unit with a dual extruder. Much more information can be found at [[RUG/Pennsylvania/State_College/Dual_Extruder]]<br />
<br />
We are having trouble getting the Techzone thermocouple and tip board working with Ramps. Currently we are using an additional thermistor attached to the hot tip, but this is causing a lower temperature to be read by the board. <br />
<br />
