+ | ===== What would your hackerspace do with a 3D printer? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | We would make a lot of DIY kits for reading the optical output of energy meters in Denmark, enabling consumers to track their energy usage themselves. Practically every household has an energy meter from the manufacturer Kamstrup. Unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Based on the reverse-engineering work of other danish hackers we have designed a PCB and a plastic enclosure ( http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | We would like to manufacture approx 100 kits for a start, and sell them at the material price. With our current setup we can print approx 2 kits per week (because our printer has very poor performance with multiple objects on the heatbed). With a Lulzbot we could massively ramp up the speed and quality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Of course we would also use the 3D printer for all the usual stuff, that we have only been able to experiment a little with: printing camera jigs, upgrade parts, and heart gears from Thingiverse for girlfriends.) | ||
