Welcome Eric.
East coast or west coast?

I'm interested (a little obsessed) in this too.
Still a little new also.
Have you read this yet?
Sourcing a 3D printer
Great article on getting started.

Hi all,
Just found the site and this looks really interesting.
Is there anything going on with SW Fl yet?

I am in Port Charlotte, West Coast about 45 min south of Tampa?

I would love to see one of these to get my mind around it.

Thanks Shane

Hi Shane.
I'm in Naples just south of you and no I don't have a printer yet.



^^ A video you might like. Click on ReprRapLogPhase's name
and watch his other videos.
A friend and I are thinking about doing one together.

Maybe we can start a S.W.FL hackerSpace where we can all pool our resources and build printers(to start with).

Hello,
I am in Titusville, beside the Kennedy Space Center.
I just stepped in it!
By that, I mean I bought a Prusa Mendel plastic kit from [www.lulzbot.com] . I also got the RAMPS 1.2 from them.
I had an Arduino Mega, a couple of the right steppers and a couple of Pololu drivers, so I bought the remaining steppers, drivers and belts from [ultimachine.com]
It's all in the mail as I write this. I still need the hardware. Unfortunately, I asked if it was metric or SAE after the purchase and it turns out to me metric, so that may drive up the cost.
Re: SW Fla
October 05, 2011 09:38AM
Hi Ron,
Gratz on the parts. Look a round maybe if metric is smaller you can drill them out a little
to make them SAE. That might be a possibility. I just came across lulzbot.com so it would
be nice to hear how they do as a retailer.

Thanks, I probably will. I got the plastic today. The quality is so bad, I don't think metric matters. I wrote a web page:

Nice site Ron.
Sorry about the parts, but Gratz on the service.
Sounds like they'll hook you up.

I am at the Community School of Naples and we are building a MakerBot Mendel Prusa Kit. Some local expertise would be helpful. Mechanically finished, now working on alignment and testing before our first print.

This is a project of our high school Robotics class and some students have expressed interest in building their own.
Re: SW Fla
March 13, 2012 04:35PM
Very cool CSN. If I had built one already I would help you out.
Keep us posted and share some pics when you can.

CSN, make sure you post a youtube video and let Adafruit.com know via their forums so you guys can
get a 3D Printer badge.

Have a finished Prusa, but having a hard time getting it working. Any locals available to help out a high school class wanting to print? I am willing to travel a couple hours to find someone who can help. Thanks

Have you tried the MakerGear IRC channel for some
help yet?

In this thread Entropy is using Arduino 0.23 instead of 0.22.
Maybe that might help.

So I backed the "Printxel" printer that's on KickStarter and can't
wait untill it gets here sometime in July. It looks like a great lil' printer.

Ok, an update on my Printxel printer from Kickstarter.
I got the bot on 7/26/12 and spent 7hrs putting it together.
Then on 7/27 did a couple of test prints and this was the 3rd. attempt.



Here is the printer in action pt.1 & 2
