What is Bitbeam?\nBasic Info from Bitbeam Repository:\nBitbeam is an open-source construction toy/hardware prototyping platform. A collection of LEGO Technic compatible parts (beams) that can be combined to create whatever device the user has conceived.\nThe Bitbeam project aims to define a set of parts that users themselves can manufacture using increasingly available technologies for local fabrication like 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC mills.\nThe name for the project is derived from the full-size modular building system Grid Beam (formerly Box Beam).\nWhy m-Bitbeam?\nm-Bitbeam is an extended Bitbeam 3D printable set used when teaching children (STEM education). For more information, see the section on 3D models in the magazine e-Mole. All models are free to download.\nVisit m-Bitbeam construction set - parts in DAT format for LDraw and m-Bitbeam info page with a small demonstration in PDF format.\nList of HW components with links (where to buy): m-BITBEAM sensors + modules list\nOverview of basic m-BITBEAM kit in PDF\nVisit the latest m-Bitbeam construction set - parts in STL format for 3D printing on GitHub.\nIf you want to collaborate on further development, I would be happy.\nNews:\nOctober 2, 2018\nHave you started using OpenSCAD? If not, maybe it's time to give it a try. Ondřej Tůma has created a great OpenSCAD library that allows you to quickly generate various Bitbeam parts exactly as needed.\nPrinting Settings:\nPrinter Brand: RepRap\nPrinter: Molestock\nResolution: Layer height 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm\nInfill: 80% (straight, better octagonal) or 100%\nNotes: Test prints are made with a nozzle 0.4 mm from PLA, ABS, POM, and Carbon.
