There's a more detailed tutorial on how to use physics to do 3D part packing here: http://amosdudley.com/weblog/Stochastic-Part-Packing

Both. All in one print!

I've made the source files are available for people to experiment with: it's not a perfect process yet, and I think with some crowdsourced effort it could get a lot more refined. T…

The camera has a micro 4/3 mount at the moment. The tricky part is that the flange focal distance on the SLO is not to Micro 4/3 spec (or any standard spec), because of the fairly …

The only equipment here that might be an issue for most people is the laser scanner. I'm not sure where I'd find one of those outside a university that's accurate enough. The Maker…

Smiling is incredibly important! Didn't put that part in on a lark- I really am noticeably happier for feeling like I can unselfconsciously smile.
