Alright. I love this thing for many reasons:First, I love that you had concept thumbnails made for the aesthetics and kept the form in mind (following functionality of course). It looks like it belongs on the set of 2001: A Space Odyssey next to a HAL-900 interface. I mean, come on. I also super dig the use of the button pad and the way it's illuminated. Second, the pumps are externally mounted which would make cleaning and servicing all the easier to do. It also incorporates them as an external design element along with the rest of the project.Third, this is one of those projects that not only you can be proud of it upon completion and enjoy it just by looking at it, but it has a functional utilitarian purpose that it can provide - digitally measuring mixed beverages, it remembers the re…

It provides an experience rather than just does a thing, which I love.I'm curious about the pumps and the long tubes. Does it have to be primed somehow, or are there any issues with extra liquid (not always a bad problem depending on your taste I guess!).Any ideas for one could add ice, or stirring/shaking/straining or motion to the drink? Asking for a friend.If you read all this, thank you and thank you for sharing this incredible build. I hope it serves you (and many others) well. I'll for sure be saving any available files for this so I can make one at some point. Until then, cheers mate.

That is extremely satisfying to look at.

Quite a clever workflow! This is a wonderful instructable and is a wonderful resource for anyone wanting to model from complex forms for reverse engineering.
