Hello again! I write bearing exciting news. We have all of
the parts we need to start assembly!
We are still missing parts such as circuit
boards, belts, and the printing surface, but we are going to try our hand at assembly first. If you are interested
in technical specifications of the printer, interested in building one
yourself, or want the bill of materials, you can find all of the information
you need HERE.
We cleared off a table in our basement to assemble the
printer on, and have sufficient room for parts.
Our next steps are to start assembling the frame and perform a final sort on
all of the parts to make sure we have enough of them. We've bought some
inexpensive disposable containers to keep parts organized. The build manual we
are using can be found HERE. This is an
older model of the RepRap printer, however it has been perfected and is no longer in active development. This makes it much harder to source parts, but it means that the documentation is of
a higher, finished, quality, as it is no longer a work in
progress.
That's about it for this week. Other that that, thank you for your continuing support. If you
have any questions or comments, please do write them in the comments section
below and, as always, have a good week!
