🦜 Talk: Share your Minimal Viable Project!

Please share the description of your MVP here, so we can discuss it and give eachother feedback

I’m going to start with the 3D Metal Printer project. This is the first Open Source 3D Metal Printer using an electron beam.

The goal is to make 3D Metal Printing more affordable to makers, hospitals, small institutions, organizations and companies around the world. Specifically for developing and low income countries.

Doing all this takes a lot of time and effort. Your support will help develop the 3D Metal Printer, purchase materials, tools, and equipment. All results, methods, schematics and design files will be posted here and Youtube.

Hi @inspyros

That is cool! I am making some efforts on that front as well. Maybe we could get in touch at some point.

We have developed a new, portable and cheap assay to measure platelet function by combining the microfluidics and platelet function tests. The Imaging Rig consists of Raspberry Pi, camera, servo motor, LED lightbox, and 3D printed parts. To make it viable, the camera, servo motor and light source have to work simultaneously (via software).

Hi Everyone,

Shazam4BB is a DIY birds and bats species audio classification device, which consists of both hardware (microphone, single-board computer) and software (classification algorithm and web server). To make it viable, it has to implement local bats or birds species algorithm, have an internet connection and save results into a web database.

  1. Process: Audio recording. Microphone. Single-board computer with Audio Input
  2. Analysis: Audio analysis. DL Algorithm to identify species in spectrograms.
  3. Visualisation: Audio results. Save results in a database.
  4. Components: Microphone, Computer Processing Unit (CPU, GPU), Power module, Communication (Wifi, LoRa) Module

You can follow the project on GitHub over here
