kanzure"In 1921 in the city of Kane, Pennsylvania a doctor desperate to prove something to the medical establishment takes a knife and under local anesthetic cuts open his own abdomen. Dr. Evan O’Neill Kane a 60-year old Chief Surgeon “believed that ether was being used far too often when less dangerous local anesthetics could be used”. Dr. Kane propped up on the operating room table with a mirror over his abdomen successfully preformed a surgical procedure to remove his own appendix."00:26

kanzureany thoughts on what format to export this thing to? STL will not work because it's not a single solid, the IGES exportation thingy crashes HeeksCAD, and I can't quite figure out how to export STEP yet12:56
kanzureI don't know why I thought gmsh would work .. especially since I compiled gmsh with OCC support, and that's what HeeksCAD is running on13:06
kanzurecan anybody tell me if this file is bullshit? http://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/gears/CADgears/cylinder.iges13:07

kanzurePCR via a spiral design.. different quadrants with different temperatures due to different heating/cooling elements at the four corners of a bounding box of the spiral design15:24
fennso? that's the same as the $10 thermocycler15:24
fennbut on a chip15:24
kanzurethe $10 thermocycler was using some custom plastic part I thought?15:27

kanzureI find it weird that somebody from NY Times Magazine posted to the diybio-nyc group asking for people to interview with,17:45
kanzureespecially when I was able to tell her to go talk with Jack Hitt, the last NY Times Magazine guy who interviewed me 17:46
kanzure"oh, my editor transferred the project to me"17:46
* kanzure wonders why he knows more about internal NY Times Magazine politics than its own employees17:46
cis-actiondon't brag17:50
kanzurejust pointing out their own pitfalls :)17:51
kanzurefenn: how was the $10 thermocycler supposedly structured? 17:54
kanzureI remember reading the paper multiple times but I don't remember the shape17:54
fennthere was a triangular prism with a teflon tube wrapped around18:04
fennthen there's another version that's a square with teflon tube around it18:06
fennit's just a loop that goes around and around though, not a spiral18:07
