Would be cool to have a whole region with its mountains in 3D laying on your desk :)

I seriously doubt that GoogleEarth imported prototype programming into its output. It basically uses the same technology as Flash. It’s not really sending a 3d image. It’s sending an extended 2d image which means it’s got several flat layers that move at different speeds as you move across the landscape. But that would be incredible wouldn’t it. First thing I’d print would be the Peak of the Himalayas

The cross-section being created using GMAW robot is that of a crankcase.
I thank Dr Devi Saini, Dr John Norrish, Dr Alexander Nicholson and Diego for their kind support. I also thank my family for the encouragement that I have received all my life.

I used a new camcorder instead of a webcam.

If you look closely you can actually see it start the next layer of material!

This 3D printer is a Dimension 768 BST.

The cup is 1 inch tall and 1/2 inch in diameter. The base or floor of the cup is 40 thousands of an inch thick as are the sidewalls of the cup. The stem of the cup is 100 thousands of an inch in diameter.

This machine uses Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM for short.

The machine is basically a large hot glue gun!

StickOS is an MCU-resident rapid prototyping and education environment for highly integrated MCUs. It makes the internal MCU functionality trivially available to a large class of users who don’t otherwise want to become MCU experts. Literally in minutes, hobbyists, researchers, and students can have useful embedded systems up and running, taking advantage of all of the MCU integrated peripheral functionality, as well as Zigbee wireless functionality, without ever understanding traditional MCU I/O registers or software development environments.

StickOS is flashed onto the MCU once, and from then on the user can control the MCU thru a USB, Ethernet, or Zigbee interface using just a terminal emulator. Internal to the MCU is an entire resident StickOS BASIC programming environment (including an easy-to-use editor, compiler, flasher, and debugger), where external pins are mapped to special “pin variables” for manipulation or examination, and internal peripherals are managed by BASIC control statements and interrupt handlers.

When coupled with an MC1320x Zigbee wireless transport, the MCU may be remotely controlled through another MCU, via a telnet/rlogin-like interface, eliminating the need for a direct USB or Ethernet connection to the host computer. Additionally, BASIC programs can access variables remotely from other MCUs, enabling the use of “remote pin variables” or other forms of inter-MCU communication.

StickOS binaries, sample applications (including wireless ones), as well as full documentation and a skeleton source code project for easily porting finished BASIC programs to C, are available from http://www.cpustick.com
