Operation – Save our shit

Amsterdam Squatting movement is suffering the biggest repression ever seen. Since the squatting ban (october 2010) a lot (most of) squats in the city had been evicted. We (SLUG) were also affected by the city policy and were not able to open new squatted hacklab in the “free”city of Amsterdam. That is one of the main reasons we decided to go for more stable option and thanks to BinnenPret collective this was made possible. Still we had to rescue all the junk that we have been collecting through out the years. Recent evictions of couple of squats and coming eviction of The Basement where we’ve been storing most of “our shit” forced us to once again move it to safety. Of course we’re “always looking at the bright side of life” which in this case means sorting out the stuff so we can realize how much old useless junk we have. Continue reading

3D printers bestaan al jaren. Tot voorkort waren het dure apparaten, die
slechts voor grote bedrijven betaalbaar waren. Niet iets waarmee een
kunstenaar, ontwerper of uitvinder zelfstandig aan de slag kan. Dankzij
de ontwikkeling van Open Source hardware is dat aan het veranderen.
Online Communities werken aan de ontwikkeling van Do-It-Yourself
alternatieven.

Inmiddels is er een bouwpakket 3D printer op de markt voor 750 euro en
kan je op internet diverse ontwerpen vinden die je zelf kan nabouwen.
Besturings-software, voorheen vaak nog duurder dan de printer zelf, is
gratis beschikbaar op internet.

In deze workshop vertel ik over mijn eigen ervaringen met de bouw van 3D
printers. Ik laat zien wat er nu aan software en hardware beschikbaar is
en waar we aan werken.
