Every attendee of the Chaos Communication Camp 2011 get a r0ket-badge. It is possible to enhance the 5-way-switch to get a better look an feel by using a 3D-printer to manufacture a nipple-mouse for it.
Here a some pictures of the r0ket with and without the printed cap.
You can get the .STL at thingiverse.com and print your own:
Nach zwei Tagen Vorbereitestress und 5 Minuten vor Beginn auf der Bühne fertig gestellten Folien hat der RepRap-Vortrag wie am Schnürchen geklappt. Sogar der RepMan hat trotz massivem Gezicke beim Testen nach dem Umzug in den Vortragsraum brav gedruckt, als es darauf ankam.
Das hasenförmiges Schnitzel gabs dann danach in der Weltwirtschaft :)
I somehow managed to lost the key for the sliding door to my kitchen. It probably fell into a trash bag, which I sometimes hang on the knob of said door when they are full and ready to throw away.
Of course I have newer locked the door until now, but robbed of the possibility to do so, I was overcome by a sudden urge to be able to lock the if need should arise.
The boring way to get a new key, would probably have involved taking a picture of the lock, show it to a locksmith and hope to find a fitting key.
But since we have build a 3D-printer a couple of month ago and "missing" keys had been printed successfully already, I wanted to try to design and print a new kitchen key.
After measuring the dimensions of the keyhole I started designing the new key in HeeksCAD. After only 3 not so perfect key designs I managed to print a really nice looking, working, new key for my kitchen door.
Here you can see a progress of the design:
