SummerLab / 10k / 60mm/s !
Posted by watsdesign on July 28, 2012, 12:25 a.m.
As announced in the precedent news, I was at the SummerLab, where I even met some people who read that, finally it was worth mentioning it ^^
It was short but very cool ! (cf)
The prints were streamed all day on ustream, and I even reached a new speed record of 60mm/s (precedent was 40), it's not as fast as some of the bigger machines (yet), but 60 is the max speed I generally use. It's quite fast and without having to worry about if the bot or the filament path will survive :)
It was also a good week for the Ulule project !
Many more contributors, which rise us now above the symbolic bar of 10k€, amazing !
Beside showing the FoldaRap, printing some cool stuff and eating vegan, I also could do two important things :
- passing the order for 20 power supplies to Trium Power, outch -2172€, but I had to do it or we would have needed to wait until september before they have more in stock;
- and I opened a professional account at the post office for all shipping things, that allow small discounts but mostly some advantages like having a dedicated line in some offices.
What's in the next news ?
The coming news will be also dedicated to a componant or a particular part of the FoldaRap, to know more about the machine and to explain the reasons behind these choices, and to have something interesting to read during the waiting (we will start by this special power supplier, there is lot of things to say) :)
