We are a workshop with RepRap Printers - Ormerods & Fisher Deltas run by Sally and Adrian Bowyer. Adrian has around 19 years of 3D printing experience and over 50 years of 3D design experience. We use our printers 24/7 for prototyping and printing parts for other 3D printers as well as customer orders for parts. We can ship out daily or come and collect from our workshop just outside Chippenham.

Inspired by XRobotsUK James Bruton 's gearbox for his Open Dog, we have written a Python program for FreeCAD to generate the active components of contracted cycloidal gearboxes automatically. Useful for robots and other applications.

A few days ago we mentioned on Twitter that we have been thinking of developing an open-source 3D-printed spacemouse for rotation and translation input to CAD systems (and possibly for gaming as well). Lots of replies said they thought this was a good idea, so we've set up a repository (https://github.com/RepRapLtd/6DInput) for people to contribute, and have started some experiments ourselves.

Initially we have been looking at using Hall-effect sensors and small magnets to digitise position and movement. These have the advantage of being both very cheap and robust (though they might make the finished device subject to interference from magnetic fields).
The picture shows one experiment. We mounted three sensors in a ring, then used a RepRap machine to move a magnet (in the Blu Tack lump on the carriage) about in the space above, recording the Hall readings. After that we repeated the movements and used the readings together with the record to work out the magnet's position and compared that with where we knew the RepRap carriage to be. In a cylindrical volume above the sensors, positions were recovered perfectly. There were small errors outside the radius of the centres of the sensors.

We've done more work on the open source spacemouse #os3DMouse. We now have a working force sensor, and can use several of them to move things on the screen. Next: integrate six into a single device. For more details: https://reprapltd.com/an-open-source-spacemouse-for-cad/
