WOW… that’s just… WOW.

Looks a lot like the one I built here at Printrbot - a precursor to the Printrbot pro :wink: really a cool looking bot!

Well, you can hide ALL the ugly guts if it’s CGI. :wink:

Agreed. It did give Brian and I some ideas. We think we can build this! If only we had the time :wink: next year maybe

Except the missing wires, this is certainly doable, even then, cable chains do a good job at that. I would want to make the structure and mechanism more substantive though.

But then you’d just have an injection molding machine and two robot arms…and that doesn’t represent Teh Future™

That’s true. But you can get a good void by molding it in half and putting the halves together.

They show the printing in time lapse mode. Wonder how long it actually took to print one block. Also wonder how long it would actually take to print the whole office as shown?

I’d actually expect there would be a fleet of printers. Pull them in on a trailer, have the two arms move about, picking parts off as they’re done…and there’d be no reason for them to be identical, either.

@Mike_Miller , there could be a RepRap version! … I imagine the trailer would be towed by bicycle and the printers running on solar/wind power. There would be DIY quadcopter drones moving the finished parts, or maybe just well trained dogs. :wink:

Bla bla bla, let’s just build it for fun. Anyone can send me the stl file? I’ll set up a wiki page with the address later and find a space to build it. Like Project egg

STL file for the brick? It might not exist except as an animation model. Which I guess could be exported to STL, provided it’s a properly sealed mesh.

@Jeff_DeMaagd where’s your CAD god now? :slight_smile:
