Preparing to Build the Printer

The RepRap Logo

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!
