It’s Triggy is a YouTube channel showcasing engineering builds and how-tos. From testing whether wood glue is stronger than wood, to how to make polynomial curves, and how to make a rocket from office supplies, it errs on the side of nerdy. Triggy took umbrage at a commercially available multi-channel pipette system, which cost $18,000. Pipetting robots come in all sizes, prices, and quality levels, of course. Now Triggy has used 3D printing to make one for $250 in parts. The resulting CAD, explanation, and firmware are now available on GitHub.
The 96-well plate pipetting robot can be used to mix and handle pipettes for medical tests. These kinds of machines are workhorses in R&D labs and hospitals. They can be used to move around samples, dilute samples, place cell cultures, and add reag
