You can buy the connectors and crimp it yourself from CPC or Farnell For pre-wired search ebay for 'jst xh wire' you will find some cables being sold primarily as lipo battery balance cables, as a 2-cell (2S) lipo would have a 3 pin jst-xh connector for charge balancing.

It would be great to have some kind of exhibition piece like this, something we can show off at events or get hosted as a display piece somewhere. There are lots of games and things you could make with an XY gantry, for display purposes it would be best if it could be something that was mostly vertical. simple ideas could be a giant plot clock whiteboard maybe a big connect-4 machine magnetic draughts or chess board I suspect most ideas would start with a suitable XY frame set and a carriage where we could bolt on whatever crazy idea we had. What would you need from the rest of us to get this idea started ?

To be honest, i think they are pants. if you enjoy making free hand messes then sure, but a few of us tried and were unable to even make recognisable shapes with it, never mind anything useful. Best way to describe it is just a glue gun, with not very sticky glue, with care, precision and a LOT of practice you might be able to sculpt shapes with it, but it will always be a crude stringy result.

Hi Brian, I think you may be referring to my half-built bioreactor project. The framework was built using MakerBeam, an open source aluminium T-slot profile construction set (http://www.makerbeam.com ) with 10mm wide beams. There are also larger building kits like OpenBeam (15mm wide beams).
