No, there was a story here about DIY CPAP about a month ago. None of this is new though efforts do appear to be gaining momentum.

What is new is that the tools and technology (think dirt-cheap microcontrollers that you can easily (re)program, 3D printers etc) are getting to the point where it's becoming more realistic for more people to be successful with less effort/risk along with a means (i.e. the web) for people to collaborate and share information.

That said: yeah, one better do their homework as they are definitely taking their own health (or even life) into their hands.
