Hello world !

<< < (2/3) > >>

ParCan:
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.

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:

I second that request... if you don't mind, maybe a quick overview of how it works??

Thanks!

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.
