PureBlizz Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) I have been drawing my own alu bench table this summer, then found this one, and scraped my own project. Looks great, waiting for it to arrive. I do however have a mod in mind, and need the CAD file. When will it be available?

Massman Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hey @PureBlizz, let me check that for you. Should be this month, I think. Depends on the shipment of the first batch of OBT. What did your bench table design look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureBlizz Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 I have some renders and some sketches, but I rather show you some OBT mods in a while. Any news on the CAD-files, now that the product is shiped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Xyala Posted October 3, 2016 Crew Share Posted October 3, 2016 @PureBlizz It's all my fault. I was due to take care of the CAD files in September (according to the schedule). But I ended up spending more time on taking care of making sure everything worked well with the shipping. It will be done this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureBlizz Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Sounds good. Don't mean to pushy, it's you doing the hard work after all. I'm just exited to have a go at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureBlizz Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hi @MR\. Horse The table itself is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License You can read about what that means here. As for modifications, variations and so on, I'm not sure where the line goes for what you can sell. Someone more knowledgeable than me can probably clear that up for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Island Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 does it come with your signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for modifications, variations and so on, I'm not sure where the line goes for what you can sell. Someone more knowledgeable than me can probably clear that up for us As it is a Sharealike it means that event he modified version would need to be the same license. The non-Commercial apply for the actual version and the modified version, it is also a matter of respect of the hundreds`of hours of work put into it and still opening the design. Basically : anyone that want to do, build upon and enjoy the table can do it for himself, but cannot sell the table. Third party accessories are open to anyone to create then anyone can choose their accessories licences ( or just sell them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureBlizz Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 does it come with your signature I don't know what could be arranged, but the table does not come with any signatures. You might have seen images of an early version here on the forum, these had signatures on them. The table - if you buy it - looks exactly like the 2th image on the website.

Crew Trouffman Posted October 11, 2016 Crew Share Posted October 11, 2016 @PureBlizz / @Strong Island - The Signature you have seen might have been only on 1 prototype that was passed among overclockers and they signed it to make it special ( Julius / Jakub / FlankerZ ) but indeed the official version do not have signature on it. @MR\. Horse - Please do so, the fact that we open the design is for anyone to build upon, improve the design or for people with CNC to experiment with it. As a respect for the designers and work done to bring this to life, don't sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Xyala Posted October 11, 2016 Crew Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think everything has been said correctly. The open license for the blueprints of the table are not there to encourage copies of the table itself, but to encourage the development of an ecosystem of mods and accessories made by and "profiting to" the fans around the world that make them. (Note here, we are not selling licenses for someone to be able to make official accessories - its an open opportunity) So for example, you are probably better off spending time doing a specific and useful accessory for table owners that you sell say 15-20$ rather than taking the files and making a cheap copy. These accessories will be of greater use to the community and all the credit is then for you for making them Especially if you have the tooling - there are pretty much endless possibilities. I think if someone wants to break the law of copyrights, he can and he sure will ... But, he probably doesn't need the blueprints to do that ^^. The table as it is, is it's own blueprint. There is no hidden magic, or stuff you can't reproduce without measuring skills and time. At the end of the day it all boils down to personal ethics. Nobody win's from this, and it just spreads negativity. We do entrust our community with these files - and that's what we want to focus on.

I'm sorry, I was totally joking, I was being sarcastic because I couldnt believe that he was asking if he can make a cheaper design based on your work and files and then actually sell them. it blew my mind a little bit, seemed very rude. And then to scoff at the time it took to create, just shows what kind of person we are dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Alberino Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Any news on this? I'm in Argentina and we have 50% of product price importation fees here with other random additionals depending on the shipping, so bench table goes above U$S 300 including shipping, so making one here with CAD files would be a lot cheaper. Of course only one for me, not selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Xyala Posted November 15, 2016 Crew Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) No worries. I'm looking forward to see what you will build with it. Make sure to share with us and post some shots here. EDIT, just saw your edit ^^ Yeah for the sketchup files I know ... it's something I will check with PureBlizz - he is taking a small break right now. I will email through the creator community email when it's updated. Edited November 15, 2016 by Xyala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
