FoldaRap2 Release status: working In my obsession dreaming of a folding RepRap, I finally started to make one, after 5-7 months of development I'm able to travel with it around the town/country/world :) (adventures pictured on flickr / youtube / ustream) And now several people have build one : FoldaRap_Hall-of-Builds, even some by sourcing themselves the parts : google-maps (the red dots) Specifications Printed Parts: 33 Non-Printed Parts: 285 (including every bolts/nuts/washers/ferules/etc.) Special Features Foldable ! Community FoldaRap 2.5 new plates arrangement for the v2.5, to ease color associations ;) FoldaRap 2.1 after several tries and suggestions with Xav83, I ended with this simple piece that hold an endstop with a zip-tie :) (for the Z-endstop, or any machine using 20x20 extrusions) FoldaRap 1.0

The shape of things to come: A consumer's guide to 3D printers CES 2013 proved to be something of a coming out party for consumer-facing 3D printers. Sure MakerBot earned a fair amount of attention at last year's show with the announcement of the Replicator, which snagged its share of awards from various press outlets. This year, however, saw a relative deluge in 3D-printing representation, with strong showings from 3D Systems, FormLabs, MakerBot and the cloud-based 3D printer, Sculpteo. Even with so many companies rising to prominence, the dream of truly mainstream 3D printing still feels a ways off -- if that is indeed where we're inevitably heading. These nascent days are an exciting time, with a diverse array of companies and organizations vying to be the first to bring the technology to our homes. Most of these work by melting plastic (largely Lego-like ABS or biodegradable PLA) and squirting it out through extruder heads. 3D Systems 3D Systems has been in the 3D-printing game since before the term was coined.

3dkits: Kits mecánicos para impresoras 3D hechos en España | MADfab A través de 3ders nos enterábamos de la existencia de estos kits hechos en España con un aspecto muy profesional y limpio. José, de 3dkits ha accedido a contestar unas preguntas para los interesados. Hola José, muchas gracias por atendernos.No se merecen. Siempre es un placer atender a una comunidad como la vuestra. ¿Dónde se fabrican vuestros kits? Parece sencillo acoplar una fresadora al soporte, aparte de un extrusor de plástico. ¿Hay resultados mediales de la resolución que se consigue? ¿Qué posibilidades de ampliación hay? Se echa en falta en vuestra Web algún resultado. ¿Qué motores se usan y qué electrónica y software los controlan? Si hay algún lector de madfab interesado en probar una, ¿cuánto cuesta y qué incluye el kit? José nos promete más material según lo vaya generando por lo que seguiremos informando.

fr RepRap est la première machine autoréplicable de production d'usage général fabriqué par l'homme. RepRap se présente sous la forme d'une imprimante 3D, pilotée par un logiciel libre, capable d'imprimer des objets en plastique. Puisque la RepRap est composée de plusieurs pièces de plastique et que la RepRap a la capacité d'imprimer ces pièces, la RepRap peut être considérée comme autoréplicable — tout le monde peut la construire avec du temps et le matériel nécessaire. Le concept RepRap relève de la production de machines autoreplicables, ainsi que de les rendre librement accessibles au bénéfice de tous. RepRap.org est un projet collectif, vous êtes donc cordialement invités à modifier presque toutes les pages de ce site, ou mieux, créer de nouvelles pages personnalisées. RepRap a été la première imprimante 3D à faible coût. RepRap est devenue l'imprimante 3D la plus largement utilisée parmi les membres mondiaux de la Maker Community :

Inicio - Página web de 3D kits Fabrication d'une imprimante 3D par un novice : introduction Accueil » Imprimante 3D » Fabrication d’une imprimante 3D par un novice, partie 1 Introduction L’imprimante 3D est présentée comme un modèle d’avenir, comparable à la révolution informatique apparue aux États-Unis dans les années 1970. Pour bon nombre de personnes, elle apparaît comme une technologie abstraite, à l’intérêt limité pour le moment. Ils n’ont qu’en partie raison. Je suis l’un d’eux, une personne lambda, ni ingénieur en informatique ni génie des mathématiques obnubilé par la quadrature du cercle ou les équations à trois inconnues. La lecture de L’Éthique des hackers, livre culte des passionnés d’informatique, écrit par Steven Levy m’a permis de mettre en parallèle la révolution des ordinateurs et celle en cours dans le domaine des imprimantes 3D : des passionnés pris pour des fous, dans un domaine encore considéré comme marginal, qui changeront certainement l’avenir de sociétés moins obsédées par l’accès libre à l’information que par la consommation.

OpenSL 3D Printer: A Stereolithographic printer, For Everyone. What is sLAMPS? sLAMPS is an open design for a 3d SL (Stereo Lithography) resin printer. I've been working on it for the last few months and have gotten it to the point where it is ready to print -- once I get a good supply of resin. How does it work? The printer works using a galvanometer and mirrors to steer a laser into a cured vat of resin. Why do I need funding? I'm seeking funding for two reasons: 1) To be held accountable for my design to ensure that this design makes it into your hands before people are mistaken into spending a lot of money on something that doesn't need to be that expensive. 2) To accelerate my prototype. Big purchases? Well, the funding, if received, would go towards: * Resin Development / Manufacturing / Supplier. * Laser Cutter. Why aren't you selling lots of full, assembled printers? The printer in its current state is still very much a beta. What have you done so far? * Designed and printed several interations of plastic parts for the printer * Built sLAMPS 1.0
