For
the
machine construction, I have built a Prusa Mendel it2 RepRap 3D printer.
First of all I get the printed parts from the RepRap local group.
I started with de chassis assembly.
Here the extruder also built with printer parts.
I made my own hobbed bolt to guaranty correct filament grip on the extruder.
I made my own hobbed bolt grip test with two milk packages and a piece of 1.75mm ABS
For the electronics I used an open hardware kit, called “Sanguinololu”
Here a photo of the machine working.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU...
