Mushroom Mods closed

[ax]

26650? I'd prefer a scoop for squeezing the bottle. How about slightly flattening the area around the button, so I can fit a FDV switch? Room for a MOSFET?

Picky I know...

I've designed this to fill the hole and to be produced by myself. The Mushroom was a straight mechanical, so is this. If you want the Mushroom enclosure, as soon as that's been released, I'd be happy to print it off for you.

I was being pedantic. I thought it might be a good opportunity to revise the design. I prefer a MOSFET over a mech.

I like the look of the RockMods team up (if I'm looking at the right images..?)

Well I'm actually involved producing in a 3D Printed Squonk box. Take a look at the RockModz facebook page. Ryan's idea, my design and print, his parts.

I've got one on the way
Really looking forward to it [emoji1360]

Mushroom have released the files under a Non-Commercial licence. Basically means you can't sell 'em for profit. This is a bit of a grey area when it comes to printing them for people, as techincally I'm selling for profit, but it's also cost of materials and time, which is basically what you pay for over me brashly printing them and selling the enclosures. It's a difference between being approached to print something and me just printing and selling the enclosures, slim difference but that's how it works.

That all being said, if you want an enclosure to play with, I'll print one for you, just drop me a message on the AxMod or Sledz UK FB pages..

There's no grey area, if you produce one from any derivative of his design and receive money, it breaks the license. But if you're doing it for free, good on ya!

It's a completely moot point, as unless you sell and market them as mushroom mods, who's going to know?
If I pm asking for one, and pay him the cost of printing, no one can enforce anything, unless either of us shout our mouths off about it.
Once intellectual property becomes public, and especially if that company have made it public knowingly, all bets are off without solid proof.

They don't actually make it fully clear what licence they are publishing under. I'm assuming it's the Creative Commons Attribution - Non Commercial. Going by this I've just checked my facts and I'm correct. There are grey areas under the NC licence as it is a broad stroke licence and intentionally so.

So as stated aboveIf someone comes to me to print an NC model, they are paying for my services to do so, however it can be also be seen as they are buying the print off me, but generally, it is understood with 3D printing you are paying for a service to print a model. If they then go on and try to sell it, they are breaking the licence. However if I printed a load of NC models off and plastered them on a webshop so sell I'm breaking the licence.

In the case of the Mushroom they recommend materials to be printed from. One of which is Alumide, generally speaking, no joe-average is going to have an SLS printer to print Alumide, they are going to have to go to a 3rd party company to get it printed. This is known by the Mushroom guys. So case in point, I'm fine to print them for people, I just can't sell them for my own gain.

Great clarification. I'd guess that license also and I guess it's something they probably wouldn't even chase because of that slight ambiguity.

Thanks for the detailed response.

No worries, it's stuff I need to know for what I do, it's all a bit wibbly wobbly, grey and down to interpretation.

I'm actually a software developer myself so I'm intimately aware of the licenses. Just not in relation to hardware :-)
