Building in Plastic book coming. I found that a book called Printing in Plastic: Build your Own 3D printer by Floyd Kelly, James, Hood Danel, Patrick. Here is a link: [www.computerbookshops.com] Is this something about reprap production or something else? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79277#msg-79277 Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:29:32 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,347029#msg-347029 Re: Building in Plastic book coming. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,347029#msg-347029

Aren't all 3D printers some sort of cartesian robot?

Many, but not all, 3D printers independently control X, Y, Z position (Cartesian coordinates).

The exceptions -- non-Cartesian 3D printers -- include:
Rostock, Kossel,
Deltic3D, Kiwi remix,
GUS Simpson, LISA Simpson,
Wood-D, Delvien,
Cerberus, Delta-Pi,
TRap, RepOlaRap,
Morgan, Wally,
and the "Robot Arm".

Given that it appears to be documenting the build from start-to-finish, I think it will be a fantastic reference for people wanting to build a machine, but who are otherwise overwhelmed by the flood of disjointed information. I see this as a good thing for bringing DIY 3D printing to a wider audience.

Yes it is just a cartesian bot, but there's nothing stopping you from using whatever electronics or extruder you want. I don't think that's weak... it will be a VERY well documented repstrap (well if you buy the book), which I think is pretty cool and useful. A lot of the parts you can buy at Home Depot.

Here's a video of it printing: [www.youtube.com]

And the end result, I think the quality is pretty good: [www.flickr.com]

Note: I'm a tech reviewer for the book, so maybe I'm a little biased. :)]]> gr0k General Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:08:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79331#msg-79331 Re: Building in Plastic book coming. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79331#msg-79331
There are several home brew extruders, and at least the RAMPS and Gen7 electronics can be made.... ohwell.]]> Anthong Redbeard General Sun, 03 Apr 2011 10:43:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79280#msg-79280 Re: Building in Plastic book coming. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79280#msg-79280 www.youtube.com]]]> Have Blue General Sun, 03 Apr 2011 01:50:57 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79277#msg-79277 Building in Plastic book coming. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,79277,79277#msg-79277 [www.computerbookshops.com]
