SIU students create first open source 3-D printer

Imagine being able to create an object out of thin air. Whether it is a new car, shoes or cell phone, a group of SIU students are working on making that a reality.

Six engineering students are working on a senior design project, titled Project Photoresin Additive Manufacturing, or PAM, a one-of-a-kind 3-D printer prototype.

Jeff Burdick, project manager and senior from Clifton studying mechanical engineering, said traditional 3-D printing is known as fused deposition modeling machines, or “spaghetti machines.” These printers lay down plastic filaments in layers, like a hot glue gun, following a blueprint from a special computer file, Burdick said.

Projects made on spaghetti machines take a long time to produce and are not as high quality. PAM fixes those problems by using a light-curing resin.

Jeff Burdick said the resin sits in a vat at the bottom of the stand. One or two high-resolution digital light processing printers, the same kind that would be used in a classroom, sit at the top projecting a laser down on the vat. The resin hardens as it comes in contact with the laser.

Daniel Olsen, a senior from Newberg, Ind. studying computer engineering, said PAM is set up to hold two projectors, increasing the possible build size of the final product.

“With most DLP printers, your build area is just a couple of inches, most of them use petri dishes,” Olsen said. “Ours is two to three times larger.”

Olsen said this method has several benefits compared to spaghetti machines. This machine creates a higher resolution product, with higher build volume––up to nine liters––and their design is cheaper than other DLP printers. There is just one moving part, so the device will not jam, as spaghetti machines are prone to do.

3-D DLP printers are becoming more popular in the world of 3-D printing, but what makes this machine one-of-a-kind is the fact that it is completely open sourced. Olsen said this means the hardware and software used by the group is available for the public to use, edit and improve.

Olsen said there are other printer developers that claim to be open source, but do not provide the proper documentation or access to their files. Project PAM follows the guidelines set forth by the Open Source Hardware Association, an organization that seeks to make technological knowledge available to everyone.

Being open source means the group will not make any money by patenting its designs, but that was not the goal with the project.

Citizens expressed their opinions about media coverage of the events in Ferguson, Mo. in the Carbondale Civic Center on Monday night.

A panel of media professionals and specialists, varying from radio to photography and cinema, gathered to discuss journalistic practices covering recent events including protests, looting and the death of Michael Brown.

William Freivogel, former director of the SIU School of Journalism, said the Michael Brown case was the biggest story he had covered in his 45 years as a reporter. He also said he witnessed the influence of media biases on citizens, and the media’s inaccuracy, which incorporated itself in news.

“Many of the crowd on Twitter as well as on the street demanded that Gov. [Jay] Nixon should immediately arrest officer Darren Wilson for murder,” he said. “And that the arrest be done in the name of civil rights, hardly mentioning the fact that officer Wilson has some civil rights too.”

The panelists’ dialogue focused on different types of media, and the role social

networking sites such as Twitter and Vine played in educating the general public.

Patricia Bynes, a Ferguson resident and citizen journalist, said social web outlets contributed to some of the inconsistencies in information regarding the events in Ferguson.

“Being brief and concise and be able to get people’s attention is what you want to be able to do,” she said. “We want information first rather than wanting it to be accurate, and there’s been many instances in which the community reacts to what they see in the media. Sometimes that’s a good thing and sometimes it’s a bad thing.“

Following the panel discussion, Carbondale community members shared their opinions on media coverage and representation, as well as certain factors that could cause news sources to report different versions of information.

Sabrina Hardenberg, an independent researcher from Carbondale, said another inconsistency in media reporting could be news sources having agendas.

“I’m inclined to think that some reporters are influenced by shareholders or publishers,” she said. “Shareholders of the paper may direct a certain slant of the

news and what can be published and what can’t be. And that’s perhaps why social media is trying to transcend that limited display of information.”

Robert Cohen, a St. Louis Post-Dispatch photographer who photographs the events in Ferguson, said no matter the profession, people come in with bias and predisposition. But as journalists their goal of reporting is to present the most unfiltered version of news.

“There’s no person out there that can present something as totally an observer with no life experience,” he said. “If all factions are hating us, we’re doing something right along the lines. People go to sources that validate their opinions on how things may be.”

Maurine Pyle, community activist and alumna, said her residence in Alabama, and the discrimination she witnessed early in her life has affected her perception of controversial events involving people of different races.

“It’s almost impossible to avoid a racial undertone when events like this take place,” Pyle said. “The possibility that [the Michael Brown case] wasn’t police action, but a race-based murder is my gut reaction, but that might not be true.”

“We wanted our efforts to go towards improving the world, not just making money, because you don’t make money on a senior design project,” Burdick said. “Not putting all of this effort in and watch it get stuck on a shelf and cannibalized for the next semester.”

Casey Spencer, a senior from Benton studying electrical engineering, has been working on the motors that make the printer move. Spencer said he had a basic knowledge of what 3-D printing was before the project, and has enjoyed actually being able to use some things he has learned in classes. He also said he enjoys being a part of the first team to do this.

“Our goal has shifted from the senior design thing, to actually doing something to really advance the open source community, and have

it evolve,” he said. “3-D printing is still, at the consumer level, very new technology. People like us and everyone else who is doing it now are kind of like pioneers, so it’s been fun to be a part of that push.”

Burdick said the team received a small amount of money designated for senior design projects, but they went through their allotment before being able to purchase the projectors. The cheapest projector is around $300.

The group created an Indiegogo campaign to crowd-fund the remaining costs. They asked for $2,500, to spend on the projectors and additional materials, with leftover funds going to create a makerspace in the College of Engineering. A makerspace is a community-operated workplace where people can come together and use the printer.

“We decided to crowd-fund because

the project, being open source, will benefit the entire community of makers,” Burdick said.

The campaign is set to end Tuesday, and so far the campaign has only raised $311.

“We’re going to use whatever we get to at least get one projector,” said Olsen.

Burdick said if the goal is not met, they will create another Indiegogo campaign to run longer, and resort to using money from their own pockets to keep the project going.

Project PAM has to be completed by the end of the semester in accordance with senior design project rules. They have also applied to enter PAM in the Intel-Cornell Cup, a college level design competition.

Bicycle traffic deaths soar; California leads nation

If you are going to be killed by a car while riding a bicycle, there’s a good chance you are male, older than 20 and living in California or Florida.

That’s the finding of a report issued Monday by the Governors Highway Safety Association that also noted that between 2010 and 2012, U.S. bicyclist deaths increased by 16 percent.

California, with 338 cyclists killed in collisions with motor vehicles, and Florida, with 329, had the highest totals during that period, the report said.

They also had the largest increases in annual cyclist traffic fatalities from 2010 to 2012. Florida’s deaths rose by 37 to 120 in 2012 while cyclist traffic fatalities in California rose by 23 to 123. California had the most bicyclists killed of any state in 2012. But Florida has a higher rate of per capita deaths because it has a smaller population and nearly the same number of fatalities.

Nationally, cyclist traffic deaths jumped from 621 in 2010 to 680 in 2011 and 722 in 2012. The 16 percent increase was far greater than other motor vehicle fatalities, which rose by just 1 percent during this same time period.

Bicyclist deaths account for about 2 percent of deaths involving motor vehicles nationwide. But they account for about 5 percent in Florida and a little more than 4 percent in California.

Just six states, California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Michigan and Texas, accounted for 54 percent of all cycling traffic fatalities from 2010 through 2012.

Allan Williams, formerly the top scientist at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, analyzed fatality data to uncover bicyclist crash patterns and compile the report.

He noted there have been “remarkable changes” in who is dying in crashes involving bicycles and cars. For example, adults 20 and older represented 84 percent of bicyclist fatalities in 2012, compared with just 21 percent in 1975. Adult males made up 74 percent of the total number of bicyclists killed in 2012.

The lack of helmet use and alcohol impairment continue to contribute to bicyclist deaths, Williams said.

In 2012, two-thirds or more of fatally injured bicyclists were not wearing helmets, and 28 percent of riders 16 and older had blood alcohol concentrations of .08 percent or higher, the level at which someone is considered impaired, according to the report.

“What’s notable here,” Williams said, “is that the percentage of fatally injured bicyclists with high BACs has remained relatively constant since the early 1980s and did not mirror the sharp drop in alcohol-impaired driving that occurred among passenger-vehicle drivers in the 1980s and early 1990s.”

Despite the recent increases in cycling deaths, the total is still below the 1,003 fatalities that occurred

in 1975, when researchers started tracking the data.

The report did not say why bicyclist deaths have increased in recent years. Williams said there were mixed data on whether cycling is increasing in the U.S., although he did say there is some evidence that suggests there are more bicycle commuters than in previous years. That could result in more cyclists being exposed to urban auto traffic.

The report observed that “roads were built to accommodate motor vehicles with little concern for pedestrians and bicyclists. Integrating motor vehicles and bicycles in already-built environments presents challenges.”

It said cyclists are safest with a physical separation of bicycles and motor vehicles by providing “cycle paths.” But it noted that such separated paths “are rarely feasible.”

In their absence, states and cities should consider:

Building more marked bike lanes.Bicycle boulevards that travel

through a network of traffic-calmed roads that parallel urban arterials.

Using bike boxes—spaces in lanes before an intersection solely for bikes —that provide bicycle visibility and protection against cars turning right across bikes’ paths. So called “right hooks” where cars turn right into the path of a bicycle that has the right of way are one of the most common car-bicycle crashes.

Build separate bicycle traffic signals with advance green lights for cyclists.

GOP fear-mongering about Ebola and Mexico is baseless

Republican claims that Ebola could slip into the United States through Mexico are completely unfounded.

Former Massachusetts senator and current New Hampshire senatorial candidate Scott Brown recently made such an assertion.

“One of the reasons why I’ve been so adamant about closing our border, because if people are coming through normal channels can you imagine what they can do through our porous borders?” Brown said in a radio interview.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and North Carolina GOP senatorial candidate Thom Tillis have expressed similar sentiments. Tillis actually demanded in a recent debate that the U.S.-Mexico border be sealed. And Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, has opined that the Ebola outbreak may not be a completely bad thing, since undocumented immigrants will be terrified to cross the border with infected Africans.

But such notions have no

basis in fact. There’s never been an outbreak of Ebola in Latin America. And there have been no reports of Africans sick with Ebola attempting to enter the United States via Mexico. Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, responded at a congressional hearing, “That is not happening,” when asked about the probability of Ebola reaching the United States through its southern neighbor.

The fear-mongering by Republicans is not surprising.

After a summer in which any and every possible contagious disease was purported to be carried into the United States by innocent child refugees, GOP scare tactics show no signs of stopping. So, last month, it was Islamic State terrorists that threatened to come rampaging through our southern border, with border state politicians such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., stirring up this idea. Now it’s Ebola.

For those of us on the border, none of this is new. Mexicans and other Latin Americans have long dealt with being the targets of unfounded fears. Mexican laborers and housekeepers crossing into El Paso 100 years ago were often stripped nude, subjected to chemical sprays or doused in gasoline to prevent disease-carrying lice from crossing over. Well into the 1950s, these laborers were exposed to dangerous chemicals like DDT in a ludicrous effort to prevent disease.

The linking of immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border

with frightening diseases is just a continuation of a worldview in which Latinos are seen as unclean. This is the reason that conservative politicians and media outlets have found it so easy to link immigrants to epidemics such as Ebola.

Until we all learn to recognize that the racialization of disease undermines efforts to deal with the reality we face, right-wingers will continue to use divisive tactics. As responsible citizens, it is our duty to stand up to these reckless claims and demand that our politicians act on fact, not fear.

Jose Miguel LeyvaMcClatchy Washington Bureau ‘‘O ne of the reasons why I’ve been so adamant about

closing our border, because if people are coming through normal channels can you imagine what they can do through out porous borders?

Never count a movie out. Even with the odds stacked against it, a film can hit you with a left hook leaving you stunned.

“John Wick” (Rated R; 101 min) is not to be underestimated.

“John Wick” is an action film directed by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski that stars Keanu Reeves, Willem Dafoe, Adrianne Palicki and Michael Nyqvist.

John Wick, played by Reeves, is a former assassin who retired years ago for a normal life. Once his wife dies, he becomes a broken and devastated man. He is devoid of purpose until he receives a puppy in the mail from his late wife. Soon, his life has meaning and he starts to come to terms with his loss.

This all changes when Wick is attacked by a group of Russian thugs. They attack him for his car, but end up killing his dog in the process. Figuring out the thugs work for his former employer, he starts an all-out war to destroy the organization.

This movie had all of the

signs of a terrible action movie. The film was low-budget and stars actors past their prime. It looked like something made to be released in a theater and then delegated to video on demand. However, looks can be deceiving, especially in this case.

The world this movie creates is fantastic. Action films are rarely known for having functioning and entertaining worlds. If a world makes sense, it is a plus, but it is not the focus of the genre.

Wick, while a fascinating main character, is the least interesting thing about this movie. Crime syndicates, battling assassins and a demilitarized hotel make up the world within the film. They have a rich backstory, but it is never told through expository dialogue. It all comes out naturally.

This film’s action scenes are set up perfectly. In a time of shaky-cam fight scenes where nothing is visible, it is great to see a movie that is unique. The two directors come from a stunt coordinating background and it is evident. The action scenes are clear and easily understandable.

This was the only appropriate approach to the action. Wick’s

character is described as a boogeyman, a ruthless killing machine. Any fight scene involving him needed to be brutal and shown in its fullest.

The film does a lot to build up Wick. Tough mafia soldiers cringe at his name, and tales of his impossible hits are told throughout crime circles. A death warrant comes to all those who mess with him. This is largely because of a well-written script, but would be nothing with out Reeves.

Keanu Reeves is at the top of his game. He plays his traditional quiet, soft-spoken character, which works for Wick. Beyond that, Reeves brings a frightening quality to the screen. A rage is always building behind his silent exterior.

Please go see this film. It will be the most fun you have in the theater this year. You will be exhilarated, excited and pumped after leaving the theater. If you are a fan of action films, this will not disappoint.

Lionsgate, the company be-hind the “Hunger Games” mov-ies, and Tribeca, which runs the Tribeca Film Festival, plan to call their service Tribeca Short List. The new offering will be run from New York.

“Tribeca Short List aims to be a service where you can see films you never got to watch, forgot to watch, and want to watch,” Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Enterprises’ chief executive, said in a statement.

Davies Crazies boost team at homeStudents, families and the swimming

and diving teams were all in support of SIU volleyball to give Davies Gym its 10th highest attendance Friday against Indiana State.

Davies Gym held 615 fans in the Maroon Game on Friday. The Salukis defeated the Sycamores 3-1. Coach Justin Ingram said the team fed off the energy built up by the fans.

“There was no band and still this place was deafening,” Ingram said. “When that happens, it’s just constant energy relayed to our team. They love it. They embrace that kind of support. It helps each and every time we can get this kind of fan base to support our group.”

Ingram said the swimming and diving teams are one of the most supportive teams because they come in masses. He said he greatly appreciates SIU student athletes regularly attending.

The swimming and diving teams had their annual Saluki Strip and took off one article of clothing when the Salukis scored until they were down to just their swimsuits.

“It’s such a close-knit family as far as the teams supporting each other,” Ingram said.

It is not just student athletes attending though. Christopher Dion, a senior from Villa Park studying Civil Engineering can be seen at nearly every home game cheering the team on, and he goes the extra mile by making signs.

“I make a sign every game, but I might bring an old sign back if the team needs to see that message again,” Dion said.

Dion said he keeps coming back because of the excitement of the sport.

“I only went to one game my freshman year,” Dion said. “Just the excitement and the intensity of the game drew me in, so I’ve come ever since.”

Dion also recruited one of his friends to come to most of

the matches with him. Michael Giusto, a junior from Lansing studying anthropology first came to the Saluki Invitational at SIU Arena in September.

“Chris invited me with the chance of getting on the big screen,” Giusto said. “I thought, ‘This is it. This is the opportunity, I’m going to be on the big screen.’ We did make it, dancing of all things.”

Giusto dances during every timeout, no matter what the music. He talked Dion into doing that with him.

“Usually I get bored really fast,” Giusto said. “I cheer my boredom

by dancing through the timeout, because otherwise I’m staring at a blank gym. It pumps me up, it makes me want to keep cheering for the team.”

Giusto said he hopes the Salukis can see him dancing and be inspired to win.

The Salukis also see multiple families at every match. Freshman libero/defensive specialist Ashley Edelen’s father Jude Edelen and mother Laura Edelen have attended every match.

“Volleyball is kind of our vacation,” Jude said. “That’s all we do instead of going to Florida and

the beaches. We’ve pretty much done the volleyball scene ever since Ashley was nine years old.”

The Edelen family resides in Louisville, Ky., but stays with family in Paducah, Ky. when the Salukis have multiple home matches in a weekend, making the majority of the cost gas money.

He said Ashley has always played for good teams, so it is slightly different watching this team since the Salukis are sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference. But, he said he sees a lot of young talent on the team.

“It’s kind of like watching a puzzle through the year,” Jude

said. “I keep seeing little pieces every game and it’s starting to grow and grow. We’ve been to about every game this year and it’s fun watching and seeing how much they improved or the things that are different from game to game.”

Freshman middle hitter Alex Rosignol said fans likely do not understand how much they boost the team and how much the team appreciates their cheers.

Dion said he has attended nearly every home game, bringing signs he made to motivate the team. Giusto said he dances during every time out to keep his enthusiasm. “It pumps me up, it makes me want to keep cheering for the team,” Giusto said

Former swimmer follows his passionAthletes make sacrifices for their

sport, but sometimes have to sacrifice their sport for their passion.

Andrew Spencer, a senior from Knoxville, Tenn. studying cinema spent his first three years at SIU as a swimmer, but left the team to focus on his schoolwork this year.

“My passions definitely switched,” Spencer said. “I used to be super passionate about swimming, and I still am about the sport, just not being involved as an athlete. I did an internship over the summer and definitely switched completely over to filmmaking, almost 100 percent.”

Spencer still attends the Saluki swim meets to support his former teammates and do some video work for the team. Spencer made a video

to promote the Salukis’ season and it has more than 400 views in less than two weeks.

Coach Rick Walker said Spencer is still a part of the team because he is still around the pool deck doing projects like the video, which could potentially help recruiting down the road.

“Not having him in the pool is probably one of the things I miss the most,” Walker said. “He’s a good hard worker. He sets a very high standard for everybody else to compete at in practice.”

Spencer said he definitely misses swimming, but he probably would not have time to accomplish all of his goals in filmmaking this year if he was on the team.

“Where he is going and what he is doing, he needs that time in order to excel,” Walker said. “That was a decision I supported, even though it was a loss to us.”

Spencer is working on an independent study film called “JUXT” this year. He said it is a story where the viewer roots for the antihero because it is a common theme in movies and television shows today. He hopes to make it nearly 30 minutes long and wants to submit it to film festivals after completion.

“Just with storyboarding, and getting the script completed and meeting with my professor, it’s just

so mentally exhausting,” Spencer said. “I don’t think I could handle the exhaustion of being a swimmer and being an artist. I struggled with that in the past.”

Walker said swimmers have quit before because it is common in life for people to quit something to put more focus elsewhere. Junior swimmer Till Pallmann said his top priority is swimming, but it is challenging with schoolwork,

because he wants to do well academically as well.

“It gets stressful at some points,” Pallmann said. “Especially during the week when I have a lot of homework to do and I have to go to a weekday morning practice. Sometimes I can’t make that because I have to finish my schoolwork first.”

Spencer said when he looks back at his older work he notices a lot of things he would do differently, but realizes he did not have enough time to perfect his work.

“I felt like I didn’t belong in the pool anymore,” Spencer said. “I felt like I belonged more behind the camera than in the pool.”
