if you'd like a working reprap that soon, your best bet for getting off the ground quickly is going with some sort of prefab 3 axis mill and adding steppers. then slap on our boards and an extruder and you're good to go. the extruder is fairly easy to make out of mdf and can even be milled.

one interesting idea is trying the route of the guy who did that cnc router on instructables.

I'm tempted, my brother lives down in Houston and it would be a good excuse to go down there.

That'd be great. My number is 717-332-6727. I'll be arriving around noon on Wednesday.

I have everything working separately, but I haven't attempted to calibrate the movement yet, I don't know my table location yet, but my Maker ID is 777. Anybody is welcome to stop by on Friday, if they'd like to help get it set up!

Wonderful!

I'm (613) 255-0456, arriving Thursday morning for a robotic fabrication discussion. (Zach, did you get an invite to that?)

Also, do you want to share our space? My maker ID# is 665 . The more the merrier.
