If I can I will try to share a liveview of the event ... otherwise I will post some pictures of the Mechmate on Faire !
Sunday at 12:00 I will do a little speech describing my experience ..... as I am going to tell a story of the Mechmate ... Gerald, I am alowed to talk about you ? what about a mugshot of you in the presentation of the Mechmate ? :-)
I can show some of the work of this comunity ... is this possible ?
Thanks
Sergio

I can only speak for myself, but anything I have posted here, feel free to use as long as it isn't for personal gain.

thank you Darren, everything I will use is just to let people know the Mechmate project and to show what so many different people aroun the world can do with this machine.

I figured as much. The disclaimer is more there in case I find any of my stuff on a competitors website. I've had pics of completed basement jobs show up all over the net with others claiming credit for the work.
Good Luck!!

Some picture of the faire ....

I love it !! Nice Shirts as well !

Very Cool. Well done.

Well done .
Good show.

Congratulation, great team with cool blue shirt!!!
blue man group :D

:o An interview on OpenElectronics ....

http://www.open-electronics.org/serg...ter-on-my-own/

It didn't seem to be obvious at 1st glance, but the extruded cross channels seems a good idea now.

:cool: Nicely written Sergio, thank you.

Well it was a sort of interview with Simone Cicecero ( http://2013.frontiersofinteraction.c...simone-cicero/ ). He wrote then the article as you see .... I just gave him the story ... :-), hope Mike and Gerald do not mind ... :-)

Nice Article.

Very nice article. My BIL visited the shop last month and asked where I got my MM.
When I told him I built it from plans on the net, his response?

"Why can you never give me an honest answer? That's too nice to be home made"

Good article.

Darren, I had the same response when a friend came over to see my machine a few weeks back. It took him little bit to understand that I had built it and not bought it.

The 2nd European Maker Faire is starting this weekend here in Rome .... the MechMate will be present in the FabLab area ... The base table I made last year was incredibly thrown away this summer :eek::mad::confused:
Thanks to SpqWork FabLab we made a new base in a very short of time, hopefully they were starting their build and they alredy had all the metal ready ....
Tomorrow morning I will mount and test the machine that will use the moving parts of my Mechmate ... I am a bit overloaded :-) but as soon I am sure everything is working I will breath and post some pictures ...
oh I forgot to say ... SpqWork Fablab decided to paint their base RED Ferrari .... so at the maker faire we will have a two color MechMate :o

I need a rest .-)

Great pix. Looks great!

That must have been a rush ! Good work.

Thanks,
I am waiting other pictures ... we partially did a Zome, the MechMate have worked 5-6 hours in the 2&1/2 days showing his potential to the visitors ... we also had a stand with the work of one of our (me and Giovanni) project "Zulu Design"

P.S.
Fox, that was much more than a rush !!! :-)

Nice work ! Are you also the one who made the game ball maze/labyrinth that two kids can carry on their neck I saw somewhere ? If so are you willing to share that file, I want to make some toys with the MM and that looked cool.
