Title: egg-shaped House Of The Future (looking for critique)
Post by: Thorin on June 15, 2015, 09:42:02 PM
I've been working on an egg-shaped House Of The Future for my City Of Tomorrow build: http://ov.mc.tomasu.org/planetbob/#/95/64/-179/-1/0/0.  I'm building it with hardened clay, unstained (kinda reddish) and stained white (flesh-coloured).  It's not done yet, but I wanna know, does it look weird to you?  The flat thing sticking out front is supposed to be the jet-car parking pad.

That looks really good to me, are there windows?

There will be a bunch of glass put in the sides once I gather some more sand. I'm thinking of using black tinted glass for it. And maybe a black/white tile floor inside. Also, I want to replace all the torches with glowstone.

It may not be what you are going for, but I like how the place is looking somewhat like a PCB.

I don't get the reference - what's a PCB?

Programmable circuit board. I really just meant plain "circuit board".

Just for the sake of correctness, it's printable circuit board.

if you want to be pedantic, its usually printed circuit board.

Weirdly enough, thats actually what I had thought I'd written.

On the topic: I designed a few basic PCBs recently, and now I just need to find somewhere to get them made.

OpenPCB (iTead), Advanced Circuits, OSHPark, Olimex, and probably more I don't know of...

I was thinking of someone local, but thanks.

Hm, You're in AU right? Check this out (http://www.eevblog.com/wiki/index.php?title=PCB_Manufacturers#Australia_.2F_New_Zealand). courtesy of Mr Dave "EEVBlog" Jones a strange Aussie bloke.

Thanks.  I'll check those out.  There's also a local hackerspace that has open nights every Tuesday, which is my night off.  I keep meaning to drop in there so I can find recommendations for places to do circuit printing as well as use one of their 3D printers to make the housing I need.
