Have been interested in Reprap for some time and would like to have a go at building my own. I live just outside of Toowoomba and would like to hear from anyone in this area who has build their own. What price can I expect to incur with my own build? Has anyone done any work on recycling milk bottles? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,123914#msg-123914 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 01:54:25 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,226600#msg-226600 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,226600#msg-226600 We now have a dedicated forum for us in Toowoomba:

Just to let you all know, a couple of us are putting together a display of 3D printing at this years Model train exhibition in Toowoomba.

Dragged my reprap out of storage for some more more building, maybe a folding reprap and would like to hear your progress on your builds.

Mal at Withcott, how did your build go.

Thejollygrimreaper, how is your printer coming along?

Great to here form other reprappers in the area.

My Prusa I've called Woody is printing great.

I have designed some things on Thingiverse under Gregted and modified others.

The one thing that has saved my sanity is my z stop adjuster.

Love to come down to either Warwick or Murphys Creek for a look at your setup and if you are in the Gowrie Junction/Toowoomba area drop me a line and drop in.]]> gregted Australia, Toowoomba RepRap User Group Mon, 11 Jun 2012 01:35:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,137129#msg-137129 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,137129#msg-137129
I'm down murphys creek, just finished building a prusa. been printing for around 2 weeks now.

How are you progressing with the build?]]> ffindog Australia, Toowoomba RepRap User Group Sun, 10 Jun 2012 09:27:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,131160#msg-131160 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,131160#msg-131160 if you need anything printed send us a message/email

Downloaded Jumi to remotely monitor reprap on Iphone.

Downloaded and played with ReplicatorG, Sli3er, Pronterface, Google Sketchup.

Already designed my first print in sketchup, exported as stl and positioned in Pronerface, ready to print.

Love the tech look of Pronterface and it's dual extruder capable. Should be very handy

Got lots of ideas of practical stuff to make from mates.

Looking good to spend lots of time on this machine.

Still like to catch up with other reprappers in the area.

I have my reprap frame assembled but need some parts and was wondering if anyone near Toowoomba can help.

I need steppers, electronics, t5 pulleys and belts, hot end, and hot bed.

I have access to lots of computer power supplies and threaded rod, nuts and washers and stainless if someone wants to swap for the parts i need.]]> gregted Australia, Toowoomba RepRap User Group Sun, 08 Apr 2012 09:09:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,124330#msg-124330 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,124330#msg-124330
If the cost of abs gets too high, we may have to look more at this technology though at the moment it is still pretty cheap.

I was mainly looking at the technology to reuse all the mistakes I am likely to make at the start of my building on my Mendel.

Still looking for other users of Repraps in Toowoomba, mainly to see one at work before I decide on my model to buy.]]> gregted Australia, Toowoomba RepRap User Group Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:03:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,124053#msg-124053 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,124053#msg-124053
Basically, HDPE warps savagely and is almost completely untamable. If you go back a few years in the various reprap blogs you'll see lots of people trying desperately to get HDPE working.

As for printer cost, it really depends what you go for. I helped gold coast techspace assemble their printer, and for basic but good quality parts from reputable dealers I think it ended up around $550. I've seen printers cobbled together for as little as $350 or so, but those take a talented scavenger and kludgineer ;)]]> Triffid_Hunter Australia, Toowoomba RepRap User Group Wed, 14 Mar 2012 01:25:05 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,123914#msg-123914 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?319,123914,123914#msg-123914 I live just outside of Toowoomba and would like to hear from anyone in this area who has build their own.
