OpenBuilds.com is LIVE!!!

Hello fellow builders,

The PhlatBlog will no longer be updated as now we have OpenBuilds.com to share projects with one another and the world! 

"We think of OpenBuilds as a kind of virtual hackerspace dedicated to open source hardware and design." says Mark and Trish of OpenBuilds team. "We believe that most new ideas in this industry come from the creative minds of DIYers and OpenBuilds gives a place to showcase these ideas and projects."

So please stop by and join in on the open source project sharing revolution.

The Biggest Baddest 3D Printer in its Class!

HBOT Pro 3D Printer

HBOT Pro Video

Working on the Hbot Pro 3D printer design

This system keeps the weight of the steppers off the gantry to maintain high speed as well as being capable of expansion in all X/Y/Z directions!

Prototype pics to prove the concept can work.

This is the machine that can print the 3D FunPod for your friends!

We are using geared reduction to get higher resolution on the Z axis

 We are looking to push the envelope with speed, size and precision using the HBOT Pro

Stay tuned for updates as well as check the PHLATFORUM for more details

Here is an idea we had for creating a  mini 3D printer that can be printed on a 3d printer as well as being a 3D scanner! A true replicator.

Still working on the details stay tuned...
