We have only scratched the surface in developing 3D printable tools for COBLE. We began with microscope adapters and a gel imaging system, and quickly realized the number of additional pieces of equipment that could be fabricated via 3D printing in the process of extracting DNA from plant material from tissue prep to running a single gel. The manuscript for the equipment created as part of this study has been submitted to Applications in Plant Science and is currently in review. A preprint will soon be available on BioRxiv as well.

We recommend printing at a minimum of 40% infill for our models. We have only tested these models in petG and PLA plastics. For any files that may be exposed to liquid or any amount of force we strongly recommend using petG or plastics with stronger tensile strengths.

Designs we remixed for COBLE:

  1. Tabletop Centrifuge
  2. Gel Boat and Combs
  3. BeadMag System (96 well plates) (1.5/2mL tubes)

Suggested Projects that complement the BAIR system:

  1. RPi 7in Display Case
  2. Mini Lab Bench Variable Power Supply
  3. Bluetooth Scale
  4. 2x Gear Grinder v2
  5. Biropipette
  6. Biropipette Stand
  7. Rotating Stand
  8. Electric Pipette Stand
  9. 200 uL tip sorter
  10. 10uL tip sorter
  11. Swiss Army Tube Block
  12. Numbered Tube Block (Multiple Options)
  13. Solid Tube Blocks (Multiple options)
  14. Millenium Falcon-tube Rack
