I'm working on a comparison chart of RepRap, MakerBot, & Fab@Home printers for a post over at the Ponoko blog. I'm gathering info through various wikis and sites, but thought it might be more efficient to ask here. Below are the categories I'm filling in for each of the printers. Info you have on any of them would be *very* much appreciated. The models I am specifically concerned with are those available at Ponoko. • Acrylic RepRap [ponoko.com] • MakerBot Cupcake CNC [ponoko.com] • Fab@Home Model 2.0 [ponoko.com] • estimated total cost of machine • machine dimensions • hours it takes to assemble • type of extruder • type of plastic extruded • available build space • resolution • feedrate • availability of electronics, motors, other equipment • licensing I'll also be including availability of assembly instructions and highlights of the support community. Thank you!
3D Printer Everything but the Paper Cut: Eye-popping Ways Artists Use Paper In the year since the Museum of Art and Design reopened in its new digs on Columbus Circle, they've been delivering consistently compelling shows--from punk-rock lace to radical knitting experiments. The newest, "Slash: Paper Under the Knife", opened last weekend and runs through April 4, 2010. The focus is paper--and the way contemporary artists have used paper itself as a medium, whether by cutting, tearing, burning, or shredding. In all, the show features 50 artists and a dozen installations made just for the show, including Andreas Kocks's Paperwork #701G (in the Beginning), seen above. Here's a sampling of the other works on display: Mia Pearlman's Eddy: Ferry Staverman, A Space Odesey: A detail of a sprawling work by Andrew Scott Ross, Rocks and Rocks and Caves and Dreams: Lane Twitchell's Peaceable Kingdom (Evening Land): Béatrice Coron, WaterCity: Between the Lines, by Ariana Boussard-Reifel: A book with every single word cut out:

Rainbow Thread Art (8 pics) Though we can appreciate Gabriel Dawe's beautiful thread art by just looking at these pictures, we're certain that these photos will never quite do them justice. In fact, we can imagine ourselves walking around these rainbow prisms and just getting lost. I asked Dawe to tell us what he hoped others got out of his artwork including what they represent. "Conceptually, these works are about the human need for shelter," he tells us. "Fashion and architecture have many functions, but one thing they both share is that they protect us from the elements. "Ultimately, what I want to give the viewers is an experience with light and color. "What is very satisfying is that I hear all the time that people go back to see them and stay for half hour, experiencing the piece. Read the rest of our interview with Dawe below. You are formally trained in art with an MFA in arts and technology at the University of Texas at Dallas. Can you tell us about how your art is influenced by your heritage?

A Google translation of the German page Files Google Sketchup 7 File: File:Reprap.skp Discussion It is difficult to source parts for the Mendel in Germany, so I was looking for a cheap and easy solution to create the parts for myself. On top of that it should be mentioned that I am by no means a professional woodworker... the important thing being that it worked. To me Aesthetics is a foreign word, which I have no knowledge about :) I didn't plan to publicize this, but I was asked to do so... Comments and suggestions can be made in the German forums.

Knitting and Crochet Patterns in Art: Extreme Knitting, Banksy Tribute at WomansDay.com While some people may think knitting and crocheting are just for grandmas, that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, in the last few years, there has been a huge resurgence in these techniques, and the projects go far beyond scarves and gloves. Crocheted and knitted artworks have taken the world by storm, both on the street—a movement referred to as “knit graffiti,” “yarn bombing” and “urban knitting”—and in modern art circles alike. Loved for the humanizing quality it lends to everyday objects, the medium continues to attract artists, who have no doubt been inspired by the pioneering works below. "Locker Room" Through his artwork, New York–based artist Nathan Vincent works to gender-neutralize objects associated with overt masculinity. Banksy Tribute “Captured” In 2009, textile artist Liliana Crespi installed a group of three 6- to 8-foot-wide "spiderwebs" at Sculpture Key West, an art festival in Key West, Florida.
