Hi everybody, We're a gang of people who will shortly endeavour on building a RepRap, with the aim of exploring everything! This will involve frequent meetings, learning about the different aspects that may be outside individuals' expertise (electronics/microcontrollers, chemistry), and so on. Everybody is chipping in with a few dollars to participate and keep things going (just for materials and such), the startup gang has committed to contributing a bit more to get the first RepRap built. It is going to be built in my downstairs area which has sufficient space for RepRap and meetings. I'm based in Kenmore (Western suburb). We also aim to provide the reprap components for building other repraps in Brisbane, and get more local groups going that way. We feel it's very important to use RepRapped components (i.e. self-replicated) rather than continuing to use seedlings. There are also plans for involvement with schools and other educational facilities, as the possibilities are fantastic. If you would like to be involved somehow, or just be kept informed, please do respond here or send me a private email [a r j e n (at) l e n t z (dot) c o m (dot) a u]. In particular, if you have solid experience with chemistry, or are an ace using the Art of Illusion software and willing to teach others, we'd love to hear from you!

I live on the sunshine coast and am currently working os, but I really interested in this project. I will be returning to SC in Feb and will have a bit of time on my hands. If I can help out please let me know. I don't have a great deal of knowledge or skills to provide but will assist where I can.

Cheers]]> Peter MINTO Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Wed, 06 Jan 2010 04:02:19 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,10566,30317#msg-30317 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,10566,30317#msg-30317

We'll get started soon. Was aiming for now-ish, but Vik is still sorting out some design things on the RepRap, like the steppers. If we order a kit now, we'd have to change it again very soon.]]> arjen Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Thu, 08 May 2008 07:33:52 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,10566,11767#msg-11767 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,10566,11767#msg-11767

Count me in, i live on GC but will make the trip for the regular meetings as im very excited about where this project might go.



Do you have meeting times worked out as yet, also how much initial $ are you looking for from the original members? i would like to be considered for this privilege.

I live in Mackay but am very interested in your progress. I have had 3 years experience as a mechanical draftsman (only 2D design though) plus a trade background in Metal Fabrication. I might not be much use to you up here but would appreciate if you kept me informed of your progress. Today is the first day I heard of the Reprap and makes me want to learn 3D designing. My email address is daniel(dot)brownsey(at)vae(dot)com(dot)au

I'm in Toowong.

My day job is a firmware engineer with CSIRO, I do electronics in my spare time and all my computers run linux, so I have plenty to lend to the project :)

I've already started collecting parts, namely a bunch of threaded rod and an arduino.

Keep me posted :)]]> Triffid_Hunter Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Sat, 29 Mar 2008 01:28:06 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,10566,10571#msg-10571 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,10566,10571#msg-10571
