Hello,
Just to send the word out to everyone who might be in the area! My name is Jacob Bayless, and I'm a member of a group of UBC Engineering Physics students. We're looking to build a Reprap and add (very) novel functionality to it as our APSC 459 project course next winter. If anyone else is interested in ordering components with us (or has a working reprap and will print them), then please let us know!
If anyone locally has experience with the Reprap and might be willing to give advice, please post here too.
