Prusa Mendel (iteration 2)

L'imprimante 3D, cette révolution industrielle qui approche Une machine qui crée n'importe quel objet en quelques clics, voilà une innovation pour sauver le "made in France". "L'imprimante 3D est une révolution industrielle." Clément Moreau l'affirme d'une voix basse, presque sans passion. Pourtant, il a cofondé Sculpteo, la première entreprise française qui propose un service d'impressions 3D, en septembre 2009. Mais l'imprimante 3D est encore chère. Wade's Geared Extruder Wade's Geared Extruder Release status: Working This work is based on Adrian's Geared Nema 14 extruder (Adrian's Geared Extruder) design, and includes many concepts lifted from Nophead's extruder (Nophead's Extruder Tweaks) research. This extruder was designed for the RepRap Sells Mendel (but will work with about any 3D printer, if with adaptors) and is robust, provides a strong force to extrude, is cheap and DIY. no need to buy/use expensive metal gears; no need to do two precision flats on motor shaft; no need to glue the PTFE barrel; Other advantages over other extruders are: extrude/print at high speed; good for use with a low torque/cheap Nema 17 motor ; (Needs verification) no need to use expensive and complex tools - just one hand drill, a file and a M4 or M5 tap; no need to make splines on motor shaft; How to get it While this design is made with DIYers in mind, if you can't make your own, or simply don't want to, you can always buy one.

Lieu spécifique, le centre de documentation s’oriente sur la constitution de documents qui participent à créer une mémoire vive, vitrine rendant visible la densité et la diversité des activités menées par Kawenga.

Heated bed MK3 My first heated bed worked OK but it was slow to warm up and hard to remove objects. The second one was only ever intended for experimenting with vacuums and magnets but I ended up printing most of my Mendel on it. It worked well but limits the build area. I have now replaced it with a full size version, using the lessons learned from the first two. The first bed was the same size as HydraRaptor's table (200 × 200mm) but the build area is only about 150 × 150mm. The other innovations were to make it easier to build. They are also lower profile of course. The thermocouple is mounted with a clamp made from PTFE. Since this bed has a steel plate on top none of the holes need to be blind. On my previous magnetic bed I placed the magnets in blind holes that were almost all the way through. This is the top side. After a suggestion by Enrique that wool was a good high temperature insulator my friend Steve gave me some carpet underlay made from wool.

Testing a Future Building's Energy Efficiency - Software, Energy Efficiency, Sustainability, Technology Simulating and analyzing the daylighting aspects of a buildings design are just two of Ecotect's capabilities. Simulating and analyzing the daylighting aspects of a buildings design are just two of Ecotect's capabilities. The statistics have been quoted time and time again since they were first released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2005, but they still have the power to shock: In the U.S., buildings account for 40 percent of total energy consumption and 72 percent of total electricity consumption. To bring these numbers down to a level compatible with a sustainable future, architects need to make their buildings perform better when it comes to energy efficiency. A number of energy-modeling software packages on the market offer various tools to forecast a building’s energy use and predict its performance. Free and Fast EQUEST is an energy simulation tool available for free download (doe2.com/equest). The U.S. Good Graphics Supporting Multiple Systems

Below is simply a list of suppliers. Do your research by Googling <company_name RepRap forum> before you buy. See here for details of how to get included on this page. RepRap is open-source hardware, so there is not a single place to buy it but rather many options. Vendors To remain fair, all vendors that sell here are up for review. If you get bad service, say so on the forums and help other reprappers. Community There are several subforums in the RepRap Marketplace and Job Shop, where people who have sets of RepRap parts for sale can advertise the fact and others can post requests to buy. Also take a look at fellow RepRap developers selling printed parts on the wiki. If you need help, task on IRC, or try the RepRap User Groups. Project specific parts Stepper motors Filament

codelab Reprap-Fab Herzlich Willkommen Gast! Möchten Sie sich anmelden? Oder wollen Sie ein Kundenkonto eröffnen? Wer nicht weis worum es hier geht, sollte mal auf der Seite www.reprap.org gucken gehen. Alle hier verkauften Kunststoffteile sind auf einem Reprap Mendel gedruckt worden. Ich stelle langsam auf ABS natur um. Einfach der Fairness halber. 123D Scanner - Home made 3D Scanner Hey - have a look at my new project HERE In this project I built a 3D Scanner, that enables generating 3D models of physical objects. The files can later be viewed in 3D software (GLC Player, Sketchup, Rhino, or sites such as and even manipulated into .STL file and 3D printed. The software for this project is completely free, I am using Autodesk's 123D catch, Link:123D catch The 123D Catch is a great software, it requires taking many photos of an object all around it, and uploading it into the software, and it returns a 3D file. Since I really liked the solution but did not wanted to take the photos myself - I built an instrument that does that - description hence. Please note that this document does not intend to explain how to use 123D catch (this can be found here)

Easy 3D Printer Toolchain « printthat The software that controls open source 3d printers is still in a state of flux. It can be difficult to navigate your way through all the options to try to put together a toolchain that will do what it is supposed to do. I know, I’ve been doing just that for a while now. Eventually I figured that I was only really helping myself because I was piling one patch onto another trying to make things work in my specific situation…and it wasn’t working all that well. The primary factor in deciding what toolchain to put together is the operating system your computer runs on. From that point forward all you have to do is download Java, which is free, and Python, which is free, and Arduino, which is free, and in this case I’ve choosen ReplicatorG (best and best supported), which is also free. But don’t worry. *I am sort of assuming you’re using RAMPS and Windows, but I can’t test this process with anything else at the moment. Like this: Like Loading...

Fais signe à la caméra… Qu’il serait agréable de pouvoir commander d’un simple mouvement de la main les applications sur son smartphone ou sa tablette. La commande tactile de divers appareils semble aujourd’hui entrer dans les mœurs. Pourtant, le développeur israélien eyeSight Mobile Technologies va encore plus loin. Sa technologie Gesture Recognition permet en effet de commander les tablettes Android et les ordinateurs portables basés Windows et équipés d’une caméra en déplaçant simplement la main devant l’objectif. Cette application est compatible avec quasiment n’importe quelle caméra incorporée. L’interface utilisateur Touch Free d’eyeSight est disponible pour les développeurs qui peuvent l’intégrer à leurs applications, à condition de souscrire une licence sur le logiciel.
