[Slight off-topic] Ireland?

Hi,

Just wondering if there are any folk from Ireland who are interested in reprapping/fabbing? I'm in the south-east, and - although - I haven't made any progress in building a RepRap as of yet, I have been following the project for about 2 and a half years. I would be interested in hooking up with any reprappers if they are nearby.

I'm aware of the reprap map ( [tinyurl.com] ), but I haven't actually started building one yet (and don't want to give the impression that I have), so I haven't put myself on that map. (TThere's no one from Ireland on it yet).

P.S. Sorry if people don't like these sort of queries being posted here. I wasn't sure where to inquire.

Well, I'm from Cork and very interested in a RepRap. If it were possible to buy an integrated "Kit" that included all the parts you need, I'd have done it long ago! I'd be interested in going halvsies with someone, considering that you could possibly replicate the machine to produce a few "child" repraps once you have a single one..

Hi Cathal,

Sorry I never got back to you about this until now. I've been busy with college. I'm still very interested in getting involved in this at some stage, but - at the moment - any time I have to spend on electronics is with less ambitious projects. And purchasing a ready-made reprap (or the parts for it) is probably out of my budget at the moment.

In the meantime (in case you're interested), I touted the idea of an Irish open-source hardware collective/organisation on boards.ie a few months ago (mentioning RepRap, amongst other projects) : [www.boards.ie] . Nothing has come of it as of yet, and I don't really expect huge interest, but - on the off-chance that it is something you're interested in - feel free to let me know (either here or via PM).

How's things lads. I'm based in Dublin and only found out about reprap today. Would love to put one together but wouldn't know where to begin!

Hi Emmett. Although I'm usually based in Waterford, I'm studying in Dublin at the moment. If you want to get in touch at any stage, just send me a PM.

Would anyone of ye be interested in a RepRap user group in Ireland?
There might be sufficient interest here at this stage to make it worthwhile.
I think there have been a few other people from Ireland on the forums.

A forum of some sort might help to streamline our efforts, maybe share parts/tools/materials/etc..

Let me know.

Hi all I do realise this is an old thread.

Did anyone get started with this in Ireland

anyone interested still

Only known about reprap recently I would like to get started

I also think so.

It looks like the interest level hasn't reached a critical mass yet in Ireland. I'm sure we'll get there. It's a facinating topic. There must be someone on the island that has put one together?

I've been reading "RepRap" all week. I think it's time to hit the 'workshop' (a.k.a... the garage! ). It's a bit of a 'chicken & egg' situation thought. I did stumble on the "WolfStrap" design today (http://www.reprap.org/wiki/WolfStrap-English) which is much more within the capabilities of my resources and amature skill level. I'll just have to put the electronics on my Christmas list had hope for the best!

If there is anyone in the Munster area that has ventured into RepRap world then be sure to shout.

I will quite possibly begin ordering parts for a Prusa Mendel over the next week or so. I'm probably going to order them in bits and pieces - so I can reevaluate my budget regularly while I'm getting started.

My time will probably be divided between Dublin and Waterford over the rest of the summer (until about mid september) - so I don't know where I will actually be building it yet.

I would be willing to cooperate in some shape or form with one or two others on this project, so if anyone in either Dublin or Waterford is interested let me know.

I might start a separate thread once I get the ball rolling,

Hi dslc,

I'm up in Leitrim. I built a plywood repstrap earlier this year which then printed a Prusa (i shifted the electronics etc over to that then) which i've been running for a few months. Anyway sure PM me if I can be of any help to you.

Hello All

I have spent the last four months gathering the parts to build a printer, and I am now about to start building.

Any advise I can get would be great and I have sourced most of the vitamins at this stage, so if any body needs help with that ..

Regards

Kevin

Heya lads. just got my orca kit 2 days ago... now in the fever to bring it together.
I'm based close to Cork.
Cheers
