About

Hardware hackers, artists, and scientists alike have had a long history of reimagining 3D printers as platforms for experimentation by modifying the hardware to do something besides simply printing filament. In the last decade, we've used printers to color gels, ooze pancakes, and lay down antenna wires. But what if extending these machines to custom tasks was straightforward?

To fill the gap, Joshua designed Jubilee, a multi-tool motion platform where extensibility to custom tasks is a first class feature. In this talk, he will discuss how Jubilee's automatic tool changing and manual bed changing make it a convincing platform for developing your own multi-tool operations. We'll walk through the design choices that make Jubilee rugged, but easy to reproduce, and he will showcase some of Jubilee's capabilities with a few demo applications.

About ETA Sunday Tech Talks

Mark your calendar for the second Sunday of each month when ETA holds a free tech talk. Topics are wide-ranging by design. Free for members and non-members. Contact eta.lead@bainbridgebarn.org to volunteer for a future talk or to share your ideas for an interesting topic.

Instructor Bio: Joshua Vasquez picked up his engineering degree from Harvey Mudd College back in 2014 where he gave life to GameCube-Bot in the underground machine shops. He’s had his industry stint building robot hardware and writing industrial control software, but these days, he’s designing open source machines that push the bounds of our fabrication abilities in grad school while moonlighting as the occasional Hackaday writer.
