First, some good news – we’ve made several improvements to our GoodEnoughCNC Hybrid, which are simplifying the design and making the machine more robust. Z axis: We completely changed the structure of the Z axis. Instead of the axial bearings used for railing system we decided to use a linear bearing with casings, which makes the axis sturdier and much...
We believe open source knowledge and digital fabrication can serve as a platform for empowerment and life improvement since it enables local production of solutions a certain community needs as well as it lowers the entry barrier into manufacturing for small local businesses. We plan to run several pilot projects to establish a good practice for setting up local digital...
In the last year we proved that low-cost CNC milling and plasma cutting is technically feasible and that our approach of a “suitcase kit” works - we lowered the entry step in digital manufacturing and made it possible practically everywhere around the world. That is why we are now exploring options how to distribute more GoodEnoughCNC Hybrid machines globally to...
Last year we started developing a low cost platform for scientific applications, to enable scientists globally to simply automate research tasks, have computer controlled microscopes and use it in various other applications. Our solution PreciseXY is a 3 axis translation stage, based on CoreXY project. Testing and using of the first version revealed a few weaknesses and some possible improvements....
Luka is flying overseas at the end of this week. He’s participating at Open Hardware Summit 2016 on Friday afternoon, where the open hardware community will meet and discuss hot topics from the field. He’ll contribute with a talk on open and good enough manufacturing solutions at 3.20 pm. Update: You can watch the recording of the 4th summit session,...
There are two big events coming up in October. On 7th October Luka is travelling to Portland, where an annual Open Hardware Summit is happening. An event, which brings together professionals, artists and enhusiasts from open hardware community, organized by The Open Source Hardware Association, an organization that aims to be the voice of the OH community, ensuring that technological...
Our GoodEnoughCNC Hybrid found its way to Nepal, where enthusiastic young makers have built it from a suitcase kit and are now using it for their community projects. Sharing the idea of empowering communities through collaborative making, we connected with Communitere, which is an innovative non-profit, pioneering an effective international model for sustainable disaster recovery. They are creating dynamic hubs...
We are announcing GoodEnoughCNC Academy, a week long program of workshops that will empower you to take open hardware out to the field and build fabrication capabilities anywhere around the globe. WHEN? 7-11/11/2016 WHERE? Maribor, Slovenia, Europe Join us and learn all the necessary skills to build, operate and maintain two GoodEnoughCNC machines, Hybrid CNC and Troublemaker 3D printer and...
For this year’s edition of Art kamp at Lent Festival here in Maribor we prepared many interesting projects and activities. We have extended GoodenoughCNC machines to operate on solar power for off-grid applications and sustainable manufacturing. With a selectable power supply setup Troublemaker V2 3D printer and Hybrid CNC machine with mill or laser tool-head can operate in any sunny...
¡Ya tenemos casi todo listo! - We’re almost ready! All the components for our GoodEnoughCNC hybrid with a mill are packed and on its way to Barcelona. Come meet us at Fab lab Barcelona on Monday, 20th June 2016 to find out more about the machine or join our workshop to learn how to build it on Wednesday, June 22th...
