custom build design Hi, I am considering building a custom built reprap like the ultimaker design the rods are in a different combination from the mendel, if you did not know. Firstly is that allowed? or is it like a copyright? I think maybe the way they have the rods is a better design as they have better results from the mendel repraps imo.

As well as the new printer from Tinkerine Studio called Ditto uses a very similar mechanism.]]> Sublime General Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:09:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,143925,143934#msg-143934 Re: custom build design https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,143925,143934#msg-143934 I would still like to hear what others think about the ultimaker design. Is it the mechanics which gives it great quality prints?]]> dave584 General Sat, 21 Jul 2012 14:56:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,143925,143930#msg-143930 Re: custom build design https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,143925,143930#msg-143930
May I suggest though, that you start out building a regular Prusa V2 as your first printer, before you start experimenting. It's so much easier to build a custom printer when you have a working printer available to make the parts, plus you're going to need the experience you get from the first printer build.]]> Nudel General Sat, 21 Jul 2012 14:14:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,143925,143925#msg-143925 custom build design https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,143925,143925#msg-143925
