OpenShoe

Today a for­mer mas­ter the­sis stu­dent showed up at our lab with home­made Open­Shoe cas­ing in his hand. He hade bought a 3D printer (http://www.ultimaker.com/), assem­bled it and printed the cas­ing the same evening. He esti­mated the cost for print­ing a cas­ing to around €1. Pretty impressive!

We have been con­sid­er­ing buy­ing a 3D printer for quite some time now so I guess we are now run­ning short of excuses.
