What does 3D printing have to do with construction? A lot. Using open source machines, we can grind bales of trash plastic, extrude 3D printing filament - and print building materials for the Seed Eco-Home and Aquaponic Greenhouse. This can save a lot of money, and is part of our work on the Open Source Materials Production Facility.
We reached a significant milestone - we have developed a 3D printer with only 40 unique parts. This is our 3D Printer Construction Set - like a set of Lego blocks for building a 3D printer of any size and shape. We are offering a workshop in Kansas City where you can build your own - in one day. Find out more and sign up -

The relevance to the next build of the Seed Eco-Home - prototype 2 coming in late fall - is that we intend to 3D print all the greenhouse glazing, fence posts, plumbing, and plastic lumber. That is serious business for open source. That is almost as good as printing money.
To get there - we are hiring. Volunteer to be a dedicated OSE Developer - see more information at http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Developers.
OBI is a crowd-sourced effort to make affordable eco-housing widely accessible. You can make a contribution to this by signing up as an OSE Developer. The requirement is serious - 10 hours of time per week - but that's what it takes. Our goal is to recruit 12 teams of 12 developers to take this project to the next level. If you have an open mind to learn new skills, this may be an opportunity for you. Please pass this on to your friends.

Friends,
Exciting updates for April 2017. The days of artificial scarcity are numbered, as OSE and Open Building Institute (http://openbuildinginstitute.org) work on wicked problems.
1. We did it - we designed the world's simplest 3D Printer - with only 40 unique parts. Check it out, and sign up for the 1 day build workshop where you can build your own 3D printer in One Day:
2. The Seed Eco-Home and Aquaponic Greenhouse is waking up to spring rains. The 30,000 rainwater catchment pond is now full, ready for purification with our pond-to-potable water system - see http://bit.ly/2nxKife. The house and greenhouse were each built with 50 people over 5 days - our biggest feat of Extreme Manufacturing. You can see the build results at http://kck.st/2m6hviU.
3. Our Roadmap for 2017 is ambitious - http://bit.ly/2nxYCV1 : 3D printer workshops beginning as a regular offering, an experimental build workshop of the CNC Torch Table - and finally the first time that we cut 100% of our steel with our own CNC torch table instead of outsourcing the cutting. After making some more machines - such as our gasifier + solar Eco-Tractor in August - we will be ready for the 2nd iteration of the Seed Eco-Home in late fall. Including 3D printed plumbing, fence posts, plastic lumber, and greenhouse glazing.
4. But we won't get there without the crowds. Sign up as an OSE Developer - http://bit.ly/2nVk2Pt - and learn new skills as we continue developing new standards for Open Source Product Development. We also started the OSE Social Network for Developers - http://bit.ly/2oSMnmZ.
That's all for now. If you wish to opt in or opt out of this newsletter - please go to http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSEmail
