Makerspace! E como desenhar com Inkscape, um Touch Screen para o Arduino, a Proporção Dourada(!), Fabpilot, e Acabamentos 3D

Acho esta série de Vídeos muito importante, sobre como fazer, por assim dizer, um Fablab de Garagem, um Makerspace, a nível individual, e com muito pouco.
Têem lá Vídeos para tudo o que é preciso, sobre a Impressora 3D, sobre Ferramentas, como arranjar uma Bancada, um Computador, etc.

The $500 Makerspace Part 1 - Budget 3D Printers

Can you create a makerspace for less than a gaming console? Yes, and this series is going to prove it.

O Programa de Desenho Vectorial Inkscape, já cá foi referido anteriormente, mas com este Artigo da Ponoko, vocês aprendem como usá-lo devidamente, para uma data de coisas como Corte Laser e Perfis que podem ser extrudidos para 3D, am Programas de CAD :

Design Made Easy With Inkscape Vector Tutorials
Shannon Birt

How To Use Inkscape Like A Pro
Want to design products but don’t have the budget for expensive software? Or do you simply like the ethos and flexibility of open source software? Inkscape, a professional vector graphics editor for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, is a great tool you can use to design products for any number of applications, including laser cutting. And the best part? It’s FREE and open source.

Digilent Shield Brings Multi-Touch Display to Arduino
Andrew Back

Neat shield adds a bright 2.8” display with multi-touch to Arduino projects
The Digilent Multi-Touch Display shield 410-317 (136-8068) and associated software make it easy to add a QVGA resolution touch screen to Arduino projects. In this post, we take a first look at the hardware and software support, before trying out a few of the provided examples.

A Proporção Dourada faz parte daquele número de Descobertas dos Sábios Antigos que ainda hoje espantam e maravilham Físicos e Artistas.

E é claro, Inventores...

Como neste Projecto, em que este bacano, Scott Onstot, alacançou um brutal e bem-merecido sucesso de 2,087%!

Uma espécie de Compasso, em que se descobre essa Proporção em toda a espécie de objectos, Naturais, e Fabricados, uma fonte de Maravilha que só enobrece os seu Criador.

Bravo!

Measuring Success: Maker Crushes Kickstarter Goal By 2,087%
Lisa Horn

The Secret Behind The Elegant Instrument That Measures The Golden Ratio
Sir Edward Victor Appleton, 1947 Nobel Laureate in physics, said: “The golden ratio is the key to universal physics.” And for Scott Onstott, founder of SIPS Productions Inc., the golden ratio is the key to a Kickstarter campaign success story that had this maker crushing his initial goal to raise $1,618 by 2087%.
The Golden Ratio Is Everywhere (Even If You Don’t Know It)
From great works of art down to the credit card in your wallet, the golden ratio is everywhere. In mathematical terms, the ratio is 1:1.618. While these numbers may not hold much meaning to the casual observer, they have been studied by scholars for centuries.
“Some of the greatest mathematical minds of all ages, from Pythagoras and Euclid in ancient Greece, through the medieval Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa and the Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler, to present-day scientific figures such as Oxford physicist Roger Penrose, have spent endless hours over this simple ratio and its properties,” says Israeli astrophysicist Mario

Visual 3D Print Finishing Guide
Tom Nardi
With 3D printers now dropping to record low prices, more and more people are getting on the additive manufacturing bandwagon. As a long time believer in consumer-level desktop 3D printing, this is a very exciting time for me; the creativity coming out of places like Thingiverse or the 3D printing communities on Reddit is absolutely incredible. But the realist in me knows that despite what slick promotional material from the manufacturers may lead you to believe, these aren’t Star Trek-level replicators. What comes out of these machines is often riddled with imperfections (from small to soul crushing), and can require considerable cleanup work before they start to look like finished pieces.
