Introduction

This whiteAnt is made out of plywood and only requires basic tools to make. A drill press and bandsaw are recommended. In addition to 3D printing, whiteAnt's height can be adjusted to add strength to the frame and a router mounted and allow it to be used as a small CNC machine. Instructions on how to build this RepStrap will be in the book Printing in Plastic. Once the book is complete, more information and the plans will hopefully be made available here. Kits will also be sold by Build Your CNC.
