Using http://www.machinekit.io/ and BeagleBone Black plus a Replicape
or BeBoPr to build a 3D printer? Well, now you can print Boris, the
BeagleBoard.org mascot!
I just got some tiny test prints from Shapeways and they looked good,
so I scaled up the model and uploaded it to Thingiverse[2]. The
picture below[1] has a USB thumb drive of Boris (previously available
on http://boardzoo.com/, but currently out of production) that was
used as a reference and 4 miniature test prints in different materials
(WSF, EP, BD, and ALU, respectively).
Have fun and share lots of pictures of your prints! Please share back
any improvements to the model.
