I am interested in building a MakerBot. I am in Gosford (north of Sydney) but travel to the Gold Coast regularly, sometimes by road. I have a brother in Lennox Head.

Anyway, I am interested in designing my own electronics.]]> cluso99 Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:58:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,31505,32065#msg-32065 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,31505,32065#msg-32065 my suggestions:
Take whatever fast-track method/s you can afford.
Get the makerbot electronics if you can ( I have gen2 with an arduino mega, but prettty much any gen2 or gen3 will do).
Don't expect anything to work out of the box.
Learn the code.
Invest ( or aquire ) good stepper motors and stepper drivers.]]> buzz Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Tue, 29 Dec 2009 23:38:14 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,31505,31534#msg-31534 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,31505,31534#msg-31534
