Hi all,

I have bought a fully working 5 year old Rapman 3.1 for €50 with buggy Electronics, some cracked and bent plexiglas and a couple of roles 3mm ABS.

As I already have a decent prusa i3 for the standard work, I would like to do something special with this one (on a fairly low budget). Does anyone have soms good idea's?

Thanks!

Wouter

Got any plastic explosive? tongue sticking out smiley

Your question is a little vague....

Do you want to use it, fix it up, on sell it or commit to landfill?

Selling doesn't make sense. I like to make it a fun project.. Ofcourse there is a lot of good usabele material, I was thinking of printing different materials like Chocolate. Anyone had any experience in that field?

Any interest in pcb prototyping?

You could use printer to apply resit pen, then etch like normal
Or use a uv laser to cure copper with film on it, then etch like normal
Of you can use it as a small mill and mill the copper tracks directly
