Prototypes Brief

Base Tier

Rapid Prototyping Tier

  • Rapid Prototyping. Modify for a combination 3D Printer - Circuit Mill - Laser Cutter? - 3D Scanner?.
    • 3D Printer - Lulzbot. Hire a weenie.
    • CNC Circuit Mill - Shapeoko is a good working candidate. Hire a weenie.
    • Laser Cutter - Lasersaur is to be improved upon. Hire a weenie.

Negotiations

  • Steam Engine - Hadden Engine - just assess and hire machinist. Do it at Factor e Farm for video. Requires assessment and negotiation.
  • Heat exachanger - see Larry_Dobson-_Gassifer/Boiler. Requires assessment and negotiation.

Prep

  • Electrical grid - buried cable
  • 1 or more CEB/WikiHouse houses to be built to satisfy Kickstarter reward and to provide at least 1 staff house. See Microhouse 2013 Discussion.
  • Cleanup
  • Biogas Digester

Strategy

  • John Bethune, Gary De Mercurio, Audrey?
  • Plan first Design Charette for June 1, 7, build 14 and 21.
  • Video (sketch tablet + animation + icons) explainer on plan by Rob Kirk
  • Sketchup -> 2 Laser Cutter -> CNC Torch Table, or Sketchup -> 3x 3D Printer -> CNC Torch Table; also, CNC Circuit Mill to copy all electronics
  • See Modularity for general pattern language
