The January 2020 STEAM Camp resulted in a viable film studio from a Raspberry Pi/ Beagle Bone Tablet - and the focus of the second international STEAM Camp is 3D printer filament making - where you can build your own filament maker and shredder.

Hi Participants,


The focus will be massive extrusion of plastic.
Thank you for registering for the Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp - glad to have you on board. First of all - which location will you be attending? How did you find out about this event? What are your learning goals?


Massive printing nozzles will be included in this camp - where we design and prototype our own Design-for-manufacturing version of the Supervolcano heater block. Because if we have ample plastic from the waste stream - we want to print it inexpensively using widely available feedstock.
This will be a collaborative learning experience, and we start right here. Please start by downloading or testing OSE Linux v1.0 - the software suite that we will use. You can either download, or just respond to this email and we'll send you a copy on a USB via mail.


The value proposition here involves breakthrough cost reduction on the filament making infrastructure. This is where we explore the limits of 3D printed geardowns for making slow, high torque filament makers.

Second - please introduce yourself at https://www.facebook.com/groups/398759490316633/permalink/1244464115746162/ - see my first comment - and sign up for the OSE Workshops FB group if you are not on there yet.
 
Next, if you are participating in the live or remote event - bring a camera and download a timelapse app - we recommend [[Open Camera]] - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en_US. We want to capture as much documentation, time-lapses, build pictures - and the OSE Workshops FB page is where we post updates and during-event pictures.
 
More soon,
