Curing the heater core

The main mechanical components of my 3D printer are done, so now I’m on to the electrical stuff. Here I’m curing the ceramic on my heater core. This part heats up the plastic filament to melt it. I’m getting closer!

MakerGear Mendel Prusa Started

I got this Mendel Prusa RepRap kit from MakerGear a month ago but I just finally started working on it last night. I’m going to try to get it working before Heart Rhythm so I can hand out little printed heart models.

The Heart Rhythm Podcast Without iTunes

The Heart Rhythm Society has an interesting podcast, wherein the author of an article in each issue is interviewed, often by Dr. Doug Zipes. I tried to sign up for it here, but it only gives directions for subscribing with iTunes. I don’t care for iTunes these days, so I went about finding the real RSS feed for the podcast.

If you want it, here it is:

Hopefully the webmaster at HRS will wise up and post this link as well. Enjoy!
