Howdy!
Posted by cassetti
Hello All!
Been in Delaware my whole life (how boring!). My boss bought a Makerbot Replicator for work, and that got me hooked on printing. I've since decided to start building my own Prusa clone called Ecksbot. I'll be posting a link to my blog at some point with my build progress if anyone is interested.
I'm in Wilmington (Elsmere Area) if you're interested in reprap or you have one, let me know! there's so few of us geeks in this state. I don't even think there's one hackerspace in the whole state!

Haha, thanks.
I've actually finally got my Ecksbot (prusa i2 variant) running. Just in time to take a week's vacation in vegas, I'm going to spend the whole week thinking about it lol. I've actually got 2 printrboards I could use help with. If you know how to troubleshoot PCB's send me a PM.
Check out my build progress here - [www.flickr.com]
Still working out the bugs (like replacing my cracked glass panel on top of the HBP. And leveling the build platform should help.

Hi you two,
I'm in Newark working on an ABS Prusa. I need to get a few more socket cap screws. I tried to go cheap and get nuts solely and ound a few spots where there was no substitute. Really excited to finish this and get some plastic printed.
No clever comments or anything just wanted to let you know you aren't alone in the Small Wonder.

Haha, I was looking at a Solidoodle, but wasn't too impressed. I was about to pull the trigger and build a MendelMax 1.5 last month, but then version 2.0 was announced that addressed MANY of my concerns, unfortunately it's still in beta! So I'm probably in the market for a dual extruder printer.

Casetti, are you up for assistance still? I am stuck with my power supply. Bought a new one and am just petrified to hook it up to the RAMPS board. I'm really lacking when it comes to understanding electronics. Do you have any expertise in this area? Please let me know. Thanks in advance

Should have replied rather than just posting more content. Here is what I added>

Hi! I'm in Newark. Pike Creek.
I run three printers. Ultimaker, Replicator, and Robo3D, so I guess not officially reprap, but still born from the same movement. Will be helping a friend build his own self designed reprap soon.
I'd be up for a local get together sometime to compare notes if any of you are.
On top of the printing, I've been doing some pretty neat stuff with the lost pla process and would love to share.
I also am testing the waters for reselling colorfabb.com PLA/PHA filament in the US. Would be glad to provide some samples for locals!
