Forum for RepRap group in Brisbane, Australia

Hi,

I'm Arjen Lentz [a r j e n (at) l e n t z (dot) c o m (dot) a u], leading a gang of people in Brisbane, Australia for RepRap adventures. Can we please have a forum here, so we may capture more locals?

Thanks!
Arjen.

You may want to ping this local robotics group. While they currently appear
dormant, there may be some interest.

And apparently there is a local dorkbot group starting up:

Good luck,

Hi Sebastien,

Thanks for the links, I've sent an email to both organisations.


Regards,
Arjen.

Getting the electronics set up is the first step to getting a working reprap robot together. Besides 3 stepper boards, 1 dc motor controller board, a PWM board, you'll want two arduinos and an arduino tx/rx thingy!

Hi, I'm in cairns.

I'm a Drafter, not mechanical, but I'm designing something very similar to the Reprap system, based on items easily available in Australia. It can

Hi, I'm David ( aka Buzz ) from Brisbane, and I've got a 1/2 built EmcRepStrap.

I'm keen to meet any other Brisbane (or South East Qld) based reprappers, or repstrappers out there. I'd live to perhaps meet in person, and get some local suport going for ppl out there. Please feel free to contact me, and we can meet up. email at davidbuzz at gmail dot com.

P.S:
my X and Y gantries working well when driven with EMC
I have an arduino, and programmed it.
Next step is the extruder ( I'd love help with this)
And sourcing some ABS. :-)

I'm very keen to get started with my own RepRap and a 3d scanner for the other half of the equation but need to find 'more local' sources for parts.

I'm in Warner (Pine Rivers shire) and would be glad to share a coffee and/or bench space etc with other builders.

may I suggest you going this group: [groups.google.com]

I'm the just-elected president of the brand-new group that are working toward having our own "group hacking space", including my repstrap as one of the projects that'll be worked on.

Hi fellow brisbanites reprapers

Live in Brisbane. Did have a working reprap 2 days ago. But destroyed extruder.
Should be back and running soon.

I use Gen 2 electronics and skeinforge and a modified reprap bios.

Gday, can anyone do me a full set of plastic mendel parts for cash? Starting my build, im an industrial service sparky and have most my electronics already

Hi,
Im looking for someone in SEQ with a reliably working machine who can print some slightly complex parts for me. I am happy to pay for a test sample. If it suits I might get a whole bunch printed (probably about 1.5kg in ABS).
