"The peachy printer is a Photolithographic printer. That means it uses a controlled beam of light to cure light sensitive resin into hard objects. The peachy moves a laser beam along the X and Y axes to create the shape of the object, while using a drip system to control the level of the resin on the Z axis which determines the height of the object."

""With the Structure Sensor attached to your mobile device, you can walk around the world and instantly capture it in a digital form. This means you can capture 3D maps of indoor spaces and have every measurement in your pocket. You can instantly capture 3D models of objects and people for import into CAD and for 3D printing...""

""While this may not be a high-resolution digital camera, it is nonetheless very rewarding." notes the creator Sarafan. "This camera allows you to not only build a tool, but be creative with it." For example you can expand the circuit to have new functionality, or design your own custom case by modifying the 123D Design build files."

"Why?
One or two people have tried in the past to make big button conversions so that disabled people can operate the slightly fiddly page-turn buttons on the sides of a Kindle. For example in 2011 there was the electronic "Frankenkindle" and so on.
However, since I own a 3D printer and make a lot of things with it, I thought I would try to make a 3D printable entirely mechanical Kindle page turner with large buttons."
