RepRap Morgan
Reprap Morgan is intended to be the next default RepRap, while conforming to the specification of the Gada Prize. In the opinion of the author the main problem prohibiting faster replication of RepRap system are:
- Cost of a stable structure, capable of a long service life at a high print quality
- Relatively hard to construct: Precise measurements are required
In addition to the GADA goals, the following goals will be added:
- Total material cost (excluding build platform) of <$100
- Print, Snap and Tighten assembly process for the main system components
- Vitamins should be kept to absolute minimum, and should be easily available, at very low cost - worldwide.
- Vitamins should additionally be used keeping in mind their original design specification, in order to maximize vitamin lifetime.
Details
We are in very early concept development, and concept drawings have not yet crossed the digital divide... Coming soon A repstrap is in development as a test bed for the concepts, and as prototyping platform for the design.
The complete unit mechanical design will be done in OpenSCAD. Software / Firmware likely to be based loosely off the Printrun / Sprinter combination. Electronics likely to be RAMPS or similar.
