Reprap society in Aberdeen Uni

Hi all,

I am in the process of creating a reprap society in Aberdeen university. I am looking for advices, help, tips or anything that can help the start of this project.

For a start, I am wondering which options for the reprap is the easier to buid in term of version for each part. I have not found anything like a summary table, or comparison between all the elements developed. Is there such a page on the reprap website? If not, what do you recommand?

Hi Lionel

Well your first step would be to catalog your resources. Is there a machine shop, prototyping lab, programming group, etc?

A number of such enviorments start with mounting a extruder on a Cnc Mill.

Thanks for your reply, Freds,

I have contacted the electronics and engineering departments, and I will see tomorrow what facilities will be available to the society. I will let you know what we have here.

ok for starting with the extruder. Now I think that, if we get enough finance, we may start with a ready to make reprap kit so we can learn how to mount it, and then we can try to duplicate it.

PS: I found it difficult to get information about the make of an extruder. I beleive that this page (http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/ThermoplastExtruder_2_0) should be linked here (http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepRapOneDarwin#Cartesian_robot)

Count me as interested. I'll be in town on Friday night for a beer and a chat.
