Missing Links in the Open Source Bakery
There is no flour mill, but a combine and a bakery oven. Thus there is a missing link in between this two parts of the GVCS! --Andig 15:14, 30 October 2011 (CET)
I am doing some MAJOR chat necromancy here (don't know if you @ User:Andig are even around here anymore) , but (at least small scale) Whole Wheat Flour producing mills are somewhat accessible and easy to disassemble. I'll have to dig a bit on all this. I did stumble upon the Unifine Mill the other day ~~hopefully that isn't locked down by IP though~~.
On the note of 3D Printed Electrical Fittings
- If done right i'd see no problem with them, given PVC Conduit and PVC Conduit Fittings are a thing already
- Heck if you used some of the filaments that meet all the FAA's FST and OSU Tests you would be safer than PVC due to that emitting chlorine gas / chlorine compounds when burned
- HOWEVER, if i remember correctly the NEC is very particular about stuff being "Listed" (Basically made in a facility that is trusted due to and/or the products tested and given that UL Certification / CE Certification etc )
- Basically it just makes sure people don't use products that end up being so low quality they cause catastrophic failures / cause faults that cause one long term
- I'll look and see if there are exceptions for 3D Printed Components, especially fittings, given their minor nature
- The only concern i could really see is internal Surface Finish effecting the Conductors fed through by shredding insulation
- That and/or they melt when the wire is near the upper end of it's Ampacity
- Both seem unlikely though
- Worse Case Scenario could ask one of the experts but yeah.
