Nice!

on behalf of problemjay and TriniStar, let me be the first to say: "yawn"

In reply to JahJah




but you didn't see one of the guys is a Trini!

In reply to birdseye

Oh, those two speak well.

I'm impressed.

In reply to birdseye

Fabulous - love this initiative

In reply to birdseye

Only last night I was wondering how come we as a region cant pull our resources together and build our own Ventilators?

In reply to JahJah

You jus jalas

In reply to birdseye

Correction, Birdie, you're addressing Jah Jah so you need to say "Dem jus jalas".

--Æ.

It would be good if they could get funding and take this crude concept into commercial production.

Innovative...outstanding & nuff respect.

In reply to BeatDball

A so me seet to bro --

In reply to JayMor

Fi real.

In reply to JahJah

Birdie still don't get it at all, at all.  At least by now him shoulda know your modus operandi here.

--Æ.

In reply to birdseye

The Ghanaians are now in on producing low-cost ventilators to fight COVID-19 too. Might we be witnessing the initiation of local solutions to local issues? Time will tell.

--Æ.

I see nuff Ghanaian floating up into the air filled with methane

No one. In Jamaica with a jig saw to shape the plywood nicely before presenting on National TV
Look like a jahjah cutlass carving during break at the farm

E for effort

In reply to JayMor

The ability for such achievements has always been there – that could well be a silver linings outgrowth of this tragedy the world is currently experiencing. Keep hope alive

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Yuh disappoint mi.

In reply to Headley

You be aite

In reply to Headley

Never put your faith in a skunt like it.

In reply to JahJah

you put yours in Jesus and he did not deliver you from your bondage "JahJah"

Here is one for under $300 and will be be ready this week ....

Toronto student part of team building build cheap, 3D-printed ventilators

In reply to Kay

They are not telling you the true cost of 3d printing or did not include it.
I have a Markforge 3d printer at my desk and a stratasys Upright in the office.
You would have to invest 100s of thousands in tooling, moulds ets to produce at those cost.

A feel good story

Good work and great intentions,but dey coulda rig it up a lil better though..

Remember the wheel is already invented and in use,no sense in rough carving one out of stone or wood if you serious ..its not a good look .

And this would apply to anyone not only Yardies...

Dey coulda do dis. Dey coulda do dot.

Fcuk dat nize.

Good effort fellas.

In reply to JahJah

They managed to rigged something up.

There are many stages and phases of product development. this has a long way to go.
I see an automotive starter, non medical pneumatic hose an quick connect, computer power supply cables, 2x4, plywood.

Like, I said. a long way to go.

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

blah blah blah. He doing something useful, unlike you. Keep it moving.

In reply to JahJah

I can mentor these fellas. Design, Manufacturing and quality

Cradle to grave.

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

No one wants a bitch to mentor them...

In reply to Barry

A skunt with multiple handle is of sound mind

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

I have one handle and a keen sense of social justice brother- I am here to deal with you....virus

In reply to Barry

Man. Just haul your delusional white skunt
You are not sure if yourself. That is the reason for multiple screen names

You are Donald trump twin brother

In reply to Barry

Just argue between y’all self

Read this Fredo

In reply to bravos

It's just a prototype, the aesthetics can be worked out later. The main thing is to make sure that it is fully functional.

Great work by the yardies.

In reply to black

On an already decades old product ? It's like trying to reinvent the wheel from scratch with stone and wood..

Listen brother even if these guys were Trini the criticism would be the same..

How hard would it have been to rig it on some aluminium or plastic panels with industry standard components?

Listen bro as far as ventilators go there's nothing impressive about that prototype,seems like a very weak effort as far as ventilators go,or are we prepared to accept such mediocrity as Caribbean innovation and progress ?

Not me sir...I mean if someone can Mcgyver a ventilator out of some plyboard and low quality everyday components and save lives great in the circumstances,but if someone is looking to make a serious quality and marketable product under the great flag of Jamaica I say noo..

What a successful system would do is try to guide assist and nurture these ambitious gentlemen to a viable quality product,but the idea that such a ventilator is something groundbreaking is promoting mediocrity...

They should at least make a better presentation if they want to be taken seriously because in reality they have nothing new to offer,and when you're offering such you must come good..

I'm.sure there are Jamaican schoolboys who could come up with a better mockup than that, and had it been school children well 10 out of 10,but not dem two big hard back man,no sir..they obviously have many screws loose there,literally..

Calling this Jamaican innovation is saying Jamaica is mediocre,is it ?

Had it been a time machine ,a flux capicitor or a cancer prancer looking like that well different story,we'd have no choice but to listen and learn..

But we've seen better ventilators for decades and even from kids' school projects..

In reply to bravos

Listen, you are being too harsh, you have to understand that this is not what these guys specialize in and it was crudely constructed to help out in an emergency.

If this was a long term project that they spent months developing and came up with that, I would have been more critical.

Gteat job by the fellas.

Nice! Those guys did a lot of local fabrication too! Some 3-d printing of face shields ("masks"), valves, etc. Simple technology, but operational.

Are the other Caribbean countries paying attention?

In reply to bravos

The fact remains that Yard is producing needed ventilators, but other English-speaking Caribbean countries are not (as far as we know).

It would be interesting to see how the Yard ventilators would perform in real life conditions. Nevertheless, this is very commendable, and daring.

In reply to Norm

Our boys coulda come better..that's all I'm really saying brother norm...I care what they think of us..

In reply to black

Ok well if you think that's a great job well I think it could've been better,and it wouldn't have costed much more..

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Wait you can’t be a socafighter avatar- he is not truly racist- he is just a fat arse...

In reply to bravos

Coulda, woulda, shoulda but they didn't.

What is stopping them from doing so?

In reply to black

Dem run out of resources.

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

I'm willing to bet that if it weren't for the Granger (admin) ineptitude, Guyana and Guyanese would've been more creative even more 'refined'.

In reply to Drapsey

In reply to Drapsey

Granger is inspiring the plantain chips and cookuprice posse

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Never let humor overtake the message you are trying to relate.

In reply to black

The message I am trying to relate flies past the head top of the main characters.

Granger did say that, if you want me to post a link

If someone is looking for a design or design inspiration.
Grabcad dat com
Create an account and the downloads are free
You need some cad skills
Most common file type is solidworks
You can get a 3D printer for 300 on eBay
The need a mentor. Someone in Jamaica could help them
A trade school could take it on as community project

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Not to speak of the Guyanese 'expatriates' who're so refined and skilled in modern techniques/technologies as cad and 3d printing, who choose to be messageboard viragoes instead of showcasing their skills at this opportune time, thereby leaving the primitive Jamaicans in the wake of their collective dust.

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Trade schools have 3D printers? They are working medical staff and engineers from Mona...Mona is world class in medicine- where are you from?

In reply to bravos

I have no doubt, but therein lies the difference. Yardies very often show the most initiative among the English-speaking Caribbean.

In reply to Norm

I agree.

In reply to Drapsey

Guyana has had research facilities in place for decades, at the Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (IAST), on the Demerara campus of the University of Guyana. IAST's performance over the years, however, has been very similar to GECOM (the Guyana Elections Commission) today.

In reply to black

Sorry to hear about your sister catching this virus, bro. Scary, but her chances to beat it should be very good.

In reply to Norm

Thanks.

She said the only symtom she experienced was loss of smell. I have no doubt that she will recover but I warned her to be very cautious around her family. She is isolating herself from the rest of family.

In reply to black

This seems to be a common symptom of this virus, along with loss of taste. Don't underestimate this virus's capacity to spring surprises. A lot of open love for your sister should help to keep her safe, I would think.

In reply to Norm

True, but she thinks she has had it for a few days now, in hindsight. Her condition is not getting worse.

In reply to Barry

Trade school in North America do have 3D printer
High school does

A manufacturing program ( I am on the board of advisor)
Design using solidworks
Manual machining... mills, lathe, surface grinder
CNC lathe, mills
CNC programming using Camworks and HSM
CNC router
Water jet cutting
Laser
That is the typical 1500hrs program.

I can post the curriculum

Jamaica is not there if that was allowed on tv. Two well dressed fellas with logo on their shirts presented that dogs breakfast. No leadership, mentoring and apprenticeship. At a basic level, they are too grown to think. Let’s show that?
No one wiped the grease off the starter.

I know ur angle is fuckry

Mona is world class at medicine? They are shit at creating a prototype

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

In North America even kindergartens have 3D printers- damn arse, you
Do you know who or what Mona is? You are one crazy know nothing...
I can take you on anytime but just say what Mona is- The young men have companies and this is an engineering task... not driving a truck. Functionality is the key, creep...

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Jamaica has two fine local Universities ... you could only work there as a cleaner ...maybe at UTECH they might employ you as a bum bum fly.... have you ever been to Jamaica?

In reply to Barry

Caribbean community college(Mona is a campus)

Grabcad see what a design looks like.

This done...CCC, Mona
I can’t waste time with you further
