  We are getting ready to CNC carve the next 6 string guitar. Here is the latest version of the 3d model used to carve the wooden parts

  "An orphan picture. Other than it is a spider wasp and came from the county I work in I don't know much more about this azure beauty. It was taken when we were first setting up the camera rig in 2012....so likely just fell between the cracks."

  Marabunta is on hold until the Denver Maker Faire ends this weekend. I will be hosting two booths, the robot spider petting zoo and the levitating laser vaporizer in the Colorado Inventors Showcase. The spiders are closely related to Marabunta, running a custom linux OS that was designed to function as a universal audio workstation. If all goes well, the Marabunta instruments will soon be able to control a swarm of tap dancing robot spiders.

• Naming Conventions

  Andrew Benson • 10/10/2018 at 05:38 • 0 comments

  I tend to name my instruments after insects and spiders; When I started this project, I called it the hornet. It turns out that there is a hornet bass already on the market, even though there is no hornet guitar. As this system is designed to be capable of creating guitars, basses, mandolins, etc... It seemed worth it to change the name, and avoid the confusion of being the second electric bass called the hornet. Marabunta is a South American colloquialism for hornets that hunt spiders, and is an uncommon enough term that I was able to score the domain for marabunta.net.

  underpants gnome scheme:
  
  create documentation on how to fabricate AN instrument, then rebuild structural geometry

  release geometry, and translate geometry to python/blender

  collect prize
