When I have RepRap presentation I always say that I update my printer almost every week.
If you watch my GitHub Repository, you must be puzzled now. It's a long time since my last commit there. But when you look closer you would find out that the printer lived in Felt branch last few months. It evolved into something much slicker, smoother and sexier. While keeping it's workhorse spirit. It was already build on many workshops and it speeds up the build by many hours! Forget glueing the bushings, that was soo 2010. Iteration 2 is the younger, cooler brother of Prusa. Print NOW! I quickly pick some important changes of Iteration 2 1) Push fitWhere it is possible parts are just pushed in without any fastener needed :-) 2) BushingsYou have possibility to use Igus professional bushings, brass tube, felt, pla printed bushing or even printer lm8uu alternatives.All bushings are simply snap in mounted, you can easily maintain your printer! 3) No SAE version.Are you sad??

RepRap by Adrian Bowyer: SomeRightsReserved. Rapid prototyping takes virtual designs from computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software, transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal cross-sections and then creates each cross-section in physical space, one after the next until the model is finished. It is a WYSIWYG process where the virtual model and the physical model correspond almost identically. Source: Wikipedia x close Metropolitan Works Metropolitan Works’ Digital Manufacturing Centre houses one of the broadest ranges of digital manufacturing equipment in the UK.
It is a “factory in the city” where creative practitioners from all disciplines can explore the potential of formerly inaccessible industrial technology to develop their ideas through experimentation, rapid prototyping and production. The Digital Manufacturing Centre operates a Bureau Service which handles all enquiries and work coming through the Centre. I found out about them in 100% design at the 100% detail, they were really cool people to talk to. Vision 3D Printer : An Optimized RepRap 3D Printer: The Vision 3D Printer - an Optimized RepRap Prusa Mendel.
A Quick Build, Optimized RepRap Prusa Mendel Awaiting approval by Kickstarter for our Project. Thank you for stopping by! Check back each week, as I will post a new video showing and highlighting the amazing power of the Vision 3D Printers. If at the end of 4 weeks, you don't want a 3D Printer . . . you never will. The Problem - 3D printer kits have come down in price, but are still fairly high in frustration.
On top of that, the world is changing, 3D modeling is used in everything from the movies we watch, to the toys we play with, to the computer we use, to the cars we drive. This is why I designed The Vision 3D Printer. Because it is a variant of RepRap's most popular printer, it will take advantage of any improvements yet to come. If "Plywood" isn't your color, we've got you covered! The Vision "Basic" 3d Printer - is the low cost entry into the Vision Series of 3D Printers. The Vision "HomeTeam" 3D Printer Series - We didn't stop there, and you don't have to either!

Prusa Mendel Documentation Before assembling a Prusa Mendel, make sure you have all the parts necessary.
For the bill of materials, see Prusa Mendel. For the visually oriented, have a look at this photo gallery of an ongoing Prusa Mendel build. You may also want to watch the complete video series for assembling a Prusa 2 How_to_build_Prusa_2. Notes: Heating the flat side of a bushing with a hair dryer or heat gun before snapping onto the smooth bar can keep it from snapping. If you're using serrated washers these should only be used between nut and plastic - nut-to-fender and fender-to-bearing washers should be flat. Frame Triangles This step takes about 15 minutes per triangle, for a total of 30 minutes. There is a triangle on each side of the Prusa RepRap.

Reprap. A little while ago I started work on a Thing Tracker Network (TTN) Client, with the intention of having at least a working beta before the end of the year. This proved to be rather optimistic, and whilst the work is still ongoing, I thought it useful to write a post outlining the goals I have in mind, and the challenges I believe have to be overcome. At this stage I believe the core design is reasonable, and so feel comfortable asking for opinions, feedback and help. The client concept differs from many alternatives by it being a distributed system. Whereas the majority (all?) Of the existing 3D printing repositories require registration to a central service, this client, in conjunction with the TTN, requires none, and the various Things are stored in the network itself.
This brings several interesting challenges as I shall list later. A few of the factor driving the design decisions are: The client should be cross-platform, and easy to install and use for a wide range of people. Security. Stepstruder MK7 Assembly. Rostock delta robot now moving at 400mm/s. The build area is essentially a Venn diagram of the maximum reach of each arm. The central, intersecting set is the build area. If the reach of an arm is less than the pillar-to-pillar spacing, then there are cutouts in the set where the arms cannot reach. You can see that as the reach of the arms increases, the build area becomes a triangle. As the reach of the arms decreases, the build area becomes a rounded triangle. There is an optimal range in the middle, where the build area is a rough hexagon (pictured above) I am assuming, in that diagram, that the arms can reach a full 180deg arc, but that may not be the case; it could be significantly less, in which case, the shape will become somewhat more complex.
Here's the math for converting x,y,z to ha,hb,hc, the three pillar heights, using arbitrary placement of the pillars: A quick definition, the length of some vector, V, is the square root of the vector dotted with itself: |V| = sqrt( V.V ) |V| = sqrt( Vx^2 + Vy^2 + Vz^2 ) HBot XY Stage experiments with fishing line.

LAYWOO-D3: New FDM filament can print wood with tree rings. Sep.20, 2012 Inventor Kai Parthy has developed a new FDM filament that can print "wood" on RepRap 3D printers. This wood filament LAYWOO-D3 is a wood/polymer composite - the filament contains recycled wood and harmless binding polymers. The material has similar thermal durability as PLA and can be printed between 175°C and 250°C. "After printing it looks like wood and smells like wood. " Depending on the temperature you can even print wooden-like objects with annual rings. At 180°C, the prints has a light color, at 245°C it becomes darker. Afterwards the printed objects can be cut, grinded or painted. Features: near zero warp rough or smooth surface possible during one print printable tree-rings stick well on print bed, no heated bed necessary recommended extruder temperature 185°C (bright) to 230°C (dark color appearance) the filament contains 40% recycled wood Currently, little trial amounts of this revolutionary material is available in a 3mm version via Ebay.

My RepRap Prusa: Three months' progress Earlier this summer my company spent a fair chunk of change on rapid prototypes printed by professional fused deposition modelling (FDM) printers. Thinking this was a huge waste of cash, Google led me to the RepRap project: Personal 3D printing for as little as $350. Of course, I had to build one. The RepRap Wiki suggested a Prusa Mendel. Its bill of materials and instructions seemed well prepared, and the list of suppliers even seemed strong (note the keyword here–”seemed”).
RepRap is a vibrant, rapidly growing opensource community for two reasons. Consequently, RepRap is the child of thousands of ‘makers’, engineers, and programmers around the world. Motors and filament from Ultimachine I thought I’d take the easy route and grab a Prusa kit off eBay. elderfarrer2hy7 had the best price at the time ($160) on a kit which included all printed parts, nuts, bolts, bearings, belts, and a laser cut acrylic bed.
