I am curious...
what is everyone using their 3D-printer for?
What are you designing; what are you actually
printing besides Mendel- and MiniMendel- parts?
(Not just planning to design/print at some point.)

And what did you originally think you would use
your printer for, when you decided to get one?

Letting local kids have their 1st experience operating a Robot, and using the Cartesian system.

Printing parts to keep the hobby funding itself.

More repraps, which was my plan from the start, but also some nIce gears.

Haven't got mine built yet, but I'm in this for the technical challenges and to muck about with the design.

Mostly to create custom plastic parts for other mechanical designs.

Hi Sebastien,

No not yet. I'm starting my second year in 4 weeks time as I'm a part-time student. Any cool suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I need to pick a topic by end of this year.

Mendel build not going too well though see my blog [pdf417.blogspot.com]
