apparently also used to create patterns/designs on glasses (mate is an optometrist, told me about this) - cheaper than actually MAKING glasses in that design/pattern.

would love to use something like this to refurbish my interior! not widely available in AUS as far as i know

Yeah, apparently they are located in Spain or at least their instructional facility is. Here I am thinking automotive when you're speaking of frames for glasses! That's what I'm so fascinated about. The possibilities!

A mate of mine is actually in the process of decking out a small warehouse on the Northern Beaches with some 3m x 2m fluid tanks and stuff to get this kicked off.

He didn't bother buying the $20k stuff from Spain, just designed it himself, and took it to a welder/boilermaker and got them to knock up a stainless tub with heat exchangers, etc.

Can't wait to see what he does with it. He's just ordered the machine you can load graphics into and will print it onto the sheets that the patterns come from. Pretty expensive start up costs though!

Just to give you an idea, he is about to sign a deal to get some ceiling fans, LED lightframes and some other small homeware stuff custom made for an architect.

But yeah, Sports equipment, car parts, instruments, shoes, pc cases, sunnies, etc etc.

please give us more details when he's got it up and running, and approx costs if possible? this would be VERY useful for people wanting to redo their centre consoles, dashes, all interior trimmings!

No probs mate, will do.

I know his stainless tanks are being made up at the moment, along with a small spray booth for applying clear coats on after, but the printer will be at least a month or so off. Pretty sure he has like 100L of the activator en route at the moment. I know he has started getting the standard patterns already (CF, Alloy, Woodgrain, etc)

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
