Several ppl have messaged me about building a RepRap. to answer the FAQ's.... Build the Prusa mendel. http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page It'll cost you < £500 to build one. How much less depends on what you already have/ make /scavenge. Get the frame Square - I mean as square as you can get it. Don't skimp on the motors. Start with a 0.5mm Print Nozzle size. Start printing with PLA on to Blue 3M Painters tape. Good luck with your RepRap builds. It's a great fun project and very rewarding. randome Picture of Printed coat pegs. |

Hi Alex :wave: As said, welcome to the collective :borg: I'm thinking you'll fit in just fine. A project log on your paddleduck build will I'm sure be well received too :thumbup: Don't worry about the writing... Small amount of text and a few choice pictures is a good way to go , then we can all sit back and see where you're upto without bothering with too much of that reading nonsense! :coffee: :) A few notes in whatever section suits about this 3D printing would be nice too... I have seen them but never really looked into the quality of the components produced etc. One for the future eh? Basically, enjoy yourself and let us know about the results :headbang: Ralph. |

Thanks! Eric |

Hi Guys. Thankyou all for your very warm welcome. Trying to summarise 3D printing is not easy. I will however as requested do some sort of write up on the whole subject during the week. I'm learning that the Puddleduck is rather hard to make with just a Lathe and a milling slide. I'll get there but the scrap bin is going to overflow soon ! Alex. |
