Interview #1 – Elias Bakken: 3D Printer, Coffee Machine and Mini LCD-screen

October 14, 2014 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl Leave a Comment

Elias BakkenLast week I had the pleasure of interviewing Elias Bakken. He is not only a true master of electronics, he also masters the skill of mechanics. And I have to say I am jealous of his mechanical skills.

He is a good friend of mine and my old partner, so I’ve seen many of the amazing things he has built during his lifetime. We’ve also built quite a few things together.

Some of the things he has built lately are

  • a custom 3D-printer (and his 3D printer electronics was recently featured on The Ben Heck Show!)
  • a coffee machine
  • Mangascreen – a mini LCD-screen suitable for Raspberry Pi or other mini computers
  • Replicape – the best 3D printer controller board on the market

I wanted to know how he got started in electronics, and as I suspected – it was NOT by studying theory. He jumped right into the practical stuff and started building things from the start. But of course, now he also has a strong theoretical knowledge.

Do you want to jump right in and start building stuff, just like Elias? Check out Ohmify – my online bootcamp for electronics.

Check out the interview below (the video quality isn’t great, but I’ll do better next time)

Some of the things he mentions in the video:

  • Replicape
  • Manga Screen

Also check out my old interviews:

  • Chris from Pyroelectro
  • Massimo Banzi from Arduino
  • Sparkfun
  • Daniel Garcia from Protostack
  • Alexander Weber from Tinkerlog
  • Seedstudio
