If I ever get my RepRap going, this is the sort of thing I'm looking forward to...... https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67178#msg-67178 Sat, 10 Oct 2026 15:43:27 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67232#msg-67232 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67232#msg-67232
PCB heated bed, you can get it from reprap source

a relay to drive it, you can get one from makerbot, if you try to run it through the extruder controller you'll be disapointed.

an all metal hot end similar to the MK5 hot end on makerbot store... there are some recent posts from other who've done it and one guy who's going to sell them by christmas.

I'm also interested in doing the biped servo robot body in printed parts, but have to get my printer to be reliable 1st.

Good luck. -Anthong]]> Anthong Redbeard General Mon, 29 Nov 2010 21:22:43 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67228#msg-67228 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67228#msg-67228
I am having miles of nightmares with the electronics... but slowly getting there.

good luck]]> AgeingHippy General Mon, 29 Nov 2010 19:07:35 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67213#msg-67213 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67213#msg-67213
You sense my frustration?! I'm having a little break from the build, partly due to time shortages but mainly as i've been close to launching it, or my computers out the window!

I've tried Linux, Vista and Mac OS and each has hit a dead end. Assembly, no problem, making a computer talk to a home made machine, hmmmm. Different problems on different OS's.

I don't give up that easy plus there are plenty of people here that are generous with their time helping out.

2011 new years resolution, finish what i started!]]> mattuwattu General Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:58:39 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67212#msg-67212 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67212#msg-67212
If you are serious about RepRap don't say if but when.

I think most people can manage to build a working printer with enough perseverance (and funds lol)

Looks interesting though doesn't it.]]> AgeingHippy General Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:49:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67178#msg-67178 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,67178,67178#msg-67178 If I ever get my RepRap going, this is the sort of thing I'm looking forward to......]]> mattuwattu General Mon, 29 Nov 2010 05:20:02 -0500
