A bunch of people have expressed interest in buying the lasercut parts for a McWire Cartesian Bot. Unfortunately, the RRRF is severely under capitalized. Right now all the money is in various things like PCBs, plastic, extruder stuff, etc. So, I'm wondering if people would be interested in doing a preorder of McWire parts. Basically, I put something up on the store, if we get 8+ preorders, then I do an order of the McWire parts, otherwise I refund all the preorders. What do you guys think? Cost will probably be around $125 for a full set of precision laser cut parts. Color will be RepRap green =) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,9352#msg-9352 Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:18:55 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,12770#msg-12770 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,12770#msg-12770
I'm trying to establish what the equivalent costs would be to have the pieces cut locally (in NZ)
One thing I cant seem to find on the wiki page [www.reprap.org] is the (minimum) thickness of the acrylic

Edit:

Found the answer at the bottom of this thread: [forums.reprap.org]

"most of the pieces should be 1/4" thick. there is one piece that should be 1/2" thick which is the 'vertical base' part."]]> xsainnz Mechanics Wed, 04 Jun 2008 07:10:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,12749#msg-12749 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,12749#msg-12749
as far as shipping costs, i believe overseas its something like $45-$50 for ABS. its flat rate, so any other things such as electronic kits, etc are basically 'free'. if you're interested in buying stuff from the RRRF, its best to get it all in one go.

of course, the shopping cart will tell you the shipping costs before you check out, so you can always back out if its too expensive.

finally, if shipping costs are too outrageous, it is possible to send things via First Class mail, which is slightly cheaper (perhaps $20-$30 for ABS?) if thats something you'd like, add a note to your order, and email me after you place it. i can then refund the difference back to you.]]> ZachHoeken Mechanics Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:05:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,12739#msg-12739 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,12739#msg-12739

Okay, so the preorder product is up on the store, located here: [store.rrrf.org]

Please pre-order, because if there aren't enough orders, I'll have to refund them or something :-/]]> ZachHoeken Mechanics Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:20:43 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,9609#msg-9609 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,9609#msg-9609 Anyone in the London area can call into the lab and get the lasercutting free (go get yer own acrylic). Im in MAGICbox, SMARTlab, UEL, E16 2RD with a laser to play with in an open access lab. We have a plywood-based rep-rap too. Before you ask, I'm already posting rep-rap stuff abroad, so I'll get that out of the way before I offer that service.

Yeah, this darn Arduino bug has kept me from working on that page. I'll try and finish that up in the next week or so. It would absolutely, positively be finished by the time the lasercut parts were shipped out.]]> ZachHoeken Mechanics Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:30:45 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,9429#msg-9429 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,9352,9429#msg-9429
Count me with two sets maybe three (I need to ask for my friend if he is still interested in it).

So 2 is for sure and maybe 3.

Oh, and while im at it, can I ask what else do you need to finish in this page?:
[www.reprap.org]

So what is still missing there?
