Prusa Research launches Multi Matter addon for Prusa MK2. Have been evaluating Prusa MK2 for a long time, no it clinches the deal. Need to understand how it works before taking the leap.

inIt is one of those times where you think why did I not think of that. Finally a good use for Amazon Dash buttons.
This guide shows you how to hack an Amazon Dash Button to shut down or reset your Raspberry Pi.

inMy PrintrBot z-axis got misaligned when I inadvertently left something on the printer bed after sending a new print to be printed. Did not realize till I heard the grinding noise. I cut the power but it was already too late. Upon restarting, the Z-home was almost an inch away from the bed.
Watched couple of videos on z calibration. Manually brought down the hotend till it was almost touching the bed and then fired up the auto leveling wizard. Tried a cube print first to see if it would turn out to be ok. The resulting cube was 0.3 short all around (from earlier reference cubes printed).
The M501 command showed that the Z axis was compensated almost -1.25.

Took a wild guess and adjusted the Z-axis offset by 0.5
// Reset Bed probe offset (mm)
M212 X25.00 Y0.00 Z-1.20
// Save settings
M500
Tried cube after the reset the offset, much better z-axis 3.01 to 3.02 all around.

Was looking into 3d Scanners. Makerbot makes one that is $799 but did not feel like shelling out that much and their approach to open source. The Ciclop is a open source design by a spanish company BQ who also sells a kit by the same name. This kickstarter takes their design and has made it more affordable. This is ofcourse based on the assumption that the backers will be printing their own 3D parts for the scanner.
$99 gives you everything except for 3D printed parts.
Thingiverse had the the 3D printed parts published by BQ.

inPossibly one of the coolest projects ever using Raspberry Pi. Zheng Wang makes a self driving car using Rpi. The main processing is handled by a PC while Raspberry handles sensor input and transmission of sensor data to PC. The RC control is handled by an Arduino which receives its control from the PC.

inHere is an exceptional mod where a teeny USB hub is paired with Raspberry PI zero in a custom case. The result looks like a professional designed product. Will need to try out.
