Stratum Networks Delta is a student project of clay printing Delta 3d printer. Design is published on Instructables and the printer is made with air compressor powered clay extruder mounted on lasercut plywood and acrylic frame.
The output clay objects look rough but the precision can probably be improved.





Project developers, Max Sanchez and Taylor Fulton, are architecture students at California College of the Arts. This project was based in a studio course called "Creative Architecture Machines" taught by Jason Kelly Johnson and Michael Shiloh.

They mixed the clay for this 3d printer out of: EPK CUSTER FELDSPAR SILICA #5 325mesh KENTUCKY BALL CLAY DARVAN: Used as a deflocculant. A few drops of the fluid will make the clay compound more like a slip. GROG: reduces shrinkage WATER

From Instructables description:

Geoweaver is a student designed robot created in the Creative Architecture Machines advanced options studio at the California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco, California, taught by Jason Kelly Johnson of Future Cities Lab and Michael Shiloh. The design is based on a 12-servo hexapod with a glue gun extruder attached, and is the culmination of about 60 days of research and prototyping. Although the robot's official name is Geoweaver, it also goes by many aliases: Servo Killer, Eater of Shields, Melter of Wires, and Destroyer of Regulators, among many others. It is a very difficult and delicate machine, and is not a project to be tackled for the faint of heart.
But if you do take it upon yourself to accept it's challenges, it's rewards are great: it is a six-legged, walking 3D printer. The center mechanism uses two servos to control the pendulum-like extruder head, allowing it to cover a basic XY plane (though curved to the surface of a sphere, see video above), and one servo for the extrusion gear that forces the glue-sticks through the "print head." All of this can be controlled through the software Rhino 5, with the plug-ins Grasshopper and Firefly

it was designed and made by Student Team: Jia Wu, Jeffrey M. Maeshiro, Mary H. Sek at CCA - California College of the Arts Architecture Advanced Options Studio, Prof. Jason Kelly Johnson with Michael Shiloh

Update:

As several commentators on G+ and Reddit noted, they are like puppies pooping ... ;-)

Smart people of Uni Postdam made this hand guided laser cutter. User draws with laser pointer and laser cutter follows the path. There are different laser pointer types for different materials which trigger different operations by laser cutter.

This looks cool. Maybe I'll find a laser cutter (which is not the easiest task in rural Croatia) in the future and try to build it. I wonder what are the heat retention impacts on print quality ...











From project description:

A modified version of the Mendel90 which uses a lasercut melamine coated MDF frame (same fixing idea as the graber i3 frame). It allows an acrylic enclosure to be fitted. 

Main changes:
Frame re-designed, Z axis changed to laser cut parts.
Some plastic parts modified (not many)
Acrylic enclosure added
Wiring simplified - all motors have detachable plugs, endstops are push fit. this allows for a wiring loom to be used.
RAMPS electronics as standard with the Panelolu2 controller.

The assembly process in more detail in in this post:http://blog.think3dprint3d.com/2013/10/mendel90-lasercut-overview.html
The commissioning and calibration in outline is here:
http://blog.think3dprint3d.com/2013/10/mendel90-lasercut-calibration.html
The printer is designed from the start to take multiple bowden extruders as an alternative to a single direct drive extruder. Updates will follow!
