I quit (my job)
Good news!
Today is my last day at Vimeo. While I’m sad to leave such a fun and awesome company, I’m even more excited to be able to devote quite a bit more time to my true passion: building self-replicating 3D printers. It may not be obvious, but I’ve been extremely busy lately. On top of working a full-time job, I’ve been running the RRRF. This in and of itself is a full-time job. I think I’ve been averaging like 80 hour weeks or something crazy like that. It’s okay though, because I’m following my dream. Somehow in between orders, I’ve even managed to squeeze some research in.
The coming months are going to be very interesting, and I imagine that quite a few amazing things are going to come out of it. Obviously I’m going to be able to devote lots more time to research, and I have a list of things that I’ll be working feverishly on:
- lasercut extruder design (by Ian Adkins)
- lasercut darwin design (by Ian Adkins)
- new generation 3 electronics based on the Sanguino
- new stepper driver (cheaper, better, stronger, opto isolated)
- new opto isolator circuit design
- combined PWM / DC motor driver w/ MOSFETS and built-in opto isolation
- cool sanguino breakout shield
- hot new RepRap software and drivers for both Arduino and Sanguino
Basically, I’m really excited to have the chance to follow my dreams. I’d like to thank all the people who have ever bought something from the RRRF (all 800 of you!) Please stay tuned: the revolution has only just begun.
