OSEDev Kit
Base Specifications
- MSRP: $1,000.00
- ~$500 in raw materials and ~$500 in labor/profit to OSE Devs building/selling/servicing kits locally/globally
- Just two kits built and sold per week nets ~$4k per month in income, not including income from servicing, support, workshops, etc.
- The kit must be able to:
- Replicate itself.
- Make any of OSE small portable tools (the ose drill platform and accessories, TBD).
- OSEDev Kit + portable tools (drill, grinder, etc) should let you make any of the tools for making the bigger tools/machines (welder, torch table, home appliances, etc).
- OSE Organization will stay at the forefront of design/development and sell experimental/new versions of the kits, while all other Devs would be encouraged to sell the stable, proven and documented versions.
- The same kit should be useable by consumers to produce what they need and by OSE Devs for ongoing development. Devs should be eating their own dog food.
Detailed Specification

Note; kit provides "vitamins" as in RepRap, and rest is bootstrapped by the OSE Developer. With access to filament maker, a significant infrastructure can be built to bootstrap from zero. Drill press drills holes in steel plates such as reinforcement of CNC torch table carriage (metal-plastic-metal sandwich = MPM). MPM technique can produce powerful tools at extremely low cost with access to filemt maker
- 3D Printer
- Power adapter
- Filament maker
- diode laser tool headfor cutting cardboard for prototyping. For example, a brick press can be made from sheet just like we do it now from metal sheet
- Circuit Mill - makes power supplies
- Coil winding jig - makes electric motors and solenoids
- Need to figure this out.
- Open source 3D printed cordless drill
Deluxe Package
- 3D printed drill press for cordless drill
- Bootstrapped CNC torch table (without torch - this can be as low as
- PV panel for 100% solar operation
- Micro power cube for hydraulic power ($109 if driven by cordless drill
- MIG welder power supply
- MIG casting apparatus
- Paste extruder for 3D printer for making casting molds of ceramic
- Small pottery oven to produce ceramic parts
Expected Output
Evolution One
These are the things that can be made with just the OSEDev Kit out of the box. Order is important and will have to be figured out, possibly move some of these up into the kit contents.
- Electric Motor Winder / Maker, Stepper motor (needed for 3D Printer)
- Cordless Power Tool Construction Set
- Arduino clone microcontrolers
- Power adapter - buck converter
- small car adapter inverter
- Mini-lathe (to be able to make the drill)
- Battery packs for portable tools
- Easy/fun things to start making:
- Pen/Pencil (or something to mark measurements with)
- Measuring tape - CNC laser diode engraves a strip of metal
- 3D Printed Containers:
- Small Bucket
- Nuts/Bolts, seed, etc. organizer trays
- aquaponic towers
Evolution Two
Once all of the critical tools are built in the first evolution, the user can build their portable tools set and everything else the follows:
- OSE Portable Tools Set
- Replicate the 3D Printer or increase the print area of the printer that comes in the kit.
- Welder
- Torch and Torch Table
- Arm/Robot
- Solar panels
- Water pump
- Home appliances:
- Water heater
- Refrigerator
- Washing machine
- Washer and drier
- Simple stovetop
- Everything for home and greenhouse sans heavy equipment:
- Door knobs, hinges, locks.
- Pipes, fittings.
- Toilet (what are options for making a toilet? probably OSE Dev just needs to enable making a cast for ceramic toilet?)
- Sink, faucet, water flow knobs.
Evolution Three
With all of the essential handtools and powertools constructed, such as torch table and welder, user can move on to larger machines:
- Home appliances:
- Oven, full size range.
- Heating / Cooling
- Agriculture / Construction:
- Tractor
- Backhoe
- Transportation
- Car
- Truck
