Hi guys,
Thanks very much for your note, Mac, and it is very nice to e-meet you, Cathal (Thanks very much for sharing your Dremelfuge design). I've still got a few bugs to work out with the GoGoFuge (some resizing and some different components, but I'll share the build files with the world when I'm done. My goals for the project now are:
1) Find cheaper electronics to use. I chose to use the Gogo Board just because it was the quickest thing available to me for my class, but it is quite expensive (~$100 with the display and relay) and a real pain to work with. Do you guys by chance know of an ultra-low cost board that could handle about 4 switches, about 50 lines of code, and control a LCD screen and a relay?
2) Fix the "vortex" function. It's not supposed to be intermittent like it shows in the video.
3) Test out the safety of the acrylic, like you suggested Mac. We did have one mishap that led to a tube flying into the acrylic lid, and the acrylic survived with a scratch. But more crash tests should be done.
Anyways, thanks for the support. Let me know if you have any more suggestions or questions.
Take care,
Keeg

Keegan Cooke (maker of keegotech mudwatts) recently developed a case and interface for a dremelfuge for a class at Stanford. He released a video of his first prototype here: http://youtu.be/Qcl04sqXqY4. Pretty cool, although I think the lid needs a locking mechanism and I'd love to see some crash tests of the acrylic he chose for the lid windows. Lasercut wood cases are so hip right now :) Anyway, I would build one. Are the plans online anywhere, keegan?mac--
