Built to Spec

In the months were it's gone radio silent here, we've settled in to a new home at Hammerspace. We've got 400-ish square feet of cluttered awesome:

Me and Jordie have our respective work areas set up and are kind dug in by this point but we're hoping to rearrange things to get us a little more floor space in the future.

We've also got some new toys, not the least of which is this gargantuan laser cutting machine:

The laser's 120 watts so it can slice through 3/4" stock easily and it's got a cutting area of almost 4 feet by 3 feet for nice big projects. I'll be reviewing this guy in depth here shortly.

We're going to have some more new toys on the way soon as well, including a new 3D printer setup to supplement the Replicator we've got now and a CNC plasma setup! We're really looking forward to expanding our metal fabrication capabilities and seeing where that takes us.

Hi. We have been really busy. First it was the Raspberry Pi rush, then another big commission after big commission. Fun times...

Also, I have yet to introduce myself.

My name is Jordie and I work for Craig here at Built to Spec. Online I generally go by RoboLemur.

Some of you might have seen my work such as the Snap together Raspberry Pi Enclosure, the APC Enclosure, the Freescale  FRDM-KL25Z Sled, the BeagleBone Black Enclosure, the APC Rock Enclosure, the pcDuino Enclosure, the TI LaunchPad Sled, the pcDuino Sled, and the Raspberry Pi with Adafruit LCD Pi Plate Enclosure.

I have also worked on multiple commissions for rodent psychology labs and other various projects.

On the side, I also like to make costume animatronics.

My current projects are a pair of animatronic wasp wings:

and an animatronic tail:

These projects are still in development, but there might be a derivative of the wings coming soon. We'll be posting more stuff as we get back into the habit of posting stuff here!
