RepRapWiki TEDxEWB Talk: Adrian Bowyer at Imperial College, London, introduces RepRap RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017.

Ultrastar.fr › Nouvelles Formlabs Creates a Low-Cost, Light-Based 3-D Printer | Wired Design An example of a translucent part printed on the Form 1. Colored liquid can be forced through the integrated channel. Its technology stands out, but the product’s design is breathtaking. Cranor and his co-founders invested early in clever engineering and quality industrial design. The Form 1 only has a few moving parts making for quiet operation, while the anodized aluminum housing gives it a respectable, serious look. The Formlabs team sees the product in a different category than the current class of plywood-clad, low-cost printers and wanted the product design to reflect that. The translucent orange box on the top of the machine protects the resin inside from UV rays, but also lets designers see their products being built in real time. In the rapidly changing world of rapid prototyping, the Form 1 sets a new standard for low cost 3-D printing. Reches says “Existing 3-D printers cannot live in the office because they are too clumsy and messy. | MakerBot Replicator 2Formlabs Form 1

YouTube Heated "One on One" debate between Cenk Uygur (The Young Turks) and Ann Coulter at the 2015 Politicon Conference in Los Angeles. Friday October 9th Hour 1: Power panel live at Politicon, Cenk, Ben, Iadarola, and Jimmy in front of a live audience. Talk about another shooting at another college campus this morning. One person is dead at Northern Arizona University. Gun control talk. Ben Carson told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that Hitler might not have gained so much power if the people only were allowed to have guns to the extend America has. A poll showed that 80% of the public is in favor of getting rid of Citizens United. Hour 2: Ana replaces Iadarola on the panel. Justin Bieber was photographed by paparazzi without his pants on.

RAMPS 1.4 Release status: Working In RAMPS 1.4, the resistors and capacitors are now surface mount to fit more passive components. This does add another set of steps to assembly, but we stuck with larger sizes to make it fairly painless. Reference board orientation is component side up, power inputs to the left. Once you start putting electricity into your RepRap - even at just 12 volts - you have to take basic, common sense precautions to avoid fires. Just in case these fail, test your workshop smoke detector. A "thermals" design flaw has been noted in the RAMPS 1.4 Eagle CAD files. This image is also in error (it isn't: it's a photograph of an existing production RAMPS 1.4 board), the left two unpopulated pins on the image are for the always on fan and use very little current. The problem may be fixed in the Eagle CAD files - for a future version of RAMPS only - by disabling "thermals" on the GND, +12V and the +12V2 Copper pour. Other production boards found in the wild Component Soldering Top pins

Cyclone PCB Factory Cyclone PCB Factory Documentation Cyclone PCB Factory v2.1 Release status: working Introduction The Cyclone PCB Factory is a 3D-printable CNC Mill released in May 2013. It has been inspired by many other designs like the Mantis. A summary on the Cyclone development can be found in this article. The new Cyclone v2.0 has been released! Video summary of Cyclone, as of Summer 2013: Pictures Milling plexiglass by Martin Zabojnik (video) Dimensions The external dimensions of the Cyclone PCB Factory are approximately 25x30x40 cm (intended footprint was a DIN A4 paper sheet). The machine is optimized to work with 100x160 PCB boards and has ~3cm of usable Z range. Main improvements The following is a list of the main improvements that this project is developing: Rep-Rap alike, anyone can print the parts and build it Simple implementation of Z height probing to allow high precision milling (see the Software credits for details) Development Mail list / Forum Bill of Materials Electronics Power supply Community Credit
