I was thinking about it then when that it took you 6 weeks figured what's the point of desktop manufacturing if it takes 6 weeks. Maybe only necessary if you're planning to sell it. I still like using acetoneby thekendall - General
So much cooler than... EEEEHHHH (cube) That lady was so mean. I don't want any body to smash me right now but I have a makerbot (Don't worry it was to get me into 3D printing and am l=planning to build a mendel max) she was just do rude she said Nobody wants a makerbot in their house... maybe in their garage but not in their house.

When is the Extruder coming out?!!!! I Can't wait! Will it all be opensource?by thekendall - General
Ok so I am lookig for the electronics I am going to try Ultimachine ramps 1.4 fully assembled How do I wire the motors and Power supply to it? Any reccomendations for a powersupply? I want to make sure I can actually do this all before I buyby thekendall - Reprappers
Looks very similar to makerbot MK7. Major differences other than gear?by thekendall - General
I think I am going to go with the MendelMax. As I want one that will last. So if I buy the hardware kit from mendel max and buy 5 nema 17 motors fullly complete ramps and a powersupply a hot end kit is that all I need? It seems like so little am I overlooking things?by thekendall - Reprappers
WOW! I want one already!by thekendall - General
Not that I don't believe you is its hard for me to know the quality I am going to see if anyone else on this forumn has used one.by thekendall - For Sale
anybody try these guys yet it looks too good to be true.by thekendall - For Sale
A follow up, What electronics would you guys suggest for a mendelmax and would replicatorG work as I have gotten really comfortable with the use. I notice a lot of people use something called ponterface and reprap softwareby thekendall - Reprappers
My roll of 1.75mm neon green is working just fine on my makerbot the temp I use though is 215 I'm not sure if thermocouple is 100% accurate though.by thekendall - General
I have a makerbot 3D printer and would like to make a reprap. I know how it all works just don't know which would be the 1st reprap to start building. Printrbot or huxley or prusa or Mendel. Also, I don't know where to get the hardware and don't know a whole lot about electronics. Please help I really want to make the next step to reprap!by thekendall - Reprappers
Hello, I am looking to get a 3D printer for my high school! Can't wait to see results and hope it is super affordable!by thekendall - General
Yes, I jsut bought some plastic which came in today. I haven't really looked at it or tried it yet will use it with my makerbot this weekendby thekendall - General
Update Our campaign is coming to a close and though we have not met our goal we are searching other avenues to help us get a 3D printer. We may get a printrbot though we are still not sure. Our club has been meeting weekly and we have been talking about Industrial design and why its important. If there is anyway to help our current campaign out whether it be emailing it to friends or donating weby thekendall - General
The RepRap community has spoken! Our club is looking into getting a printrbot! It seems more like the reprap project and is way more affordable. We will have a meeting this week to discuss the team's decision. But, we will still need help funding our project. Our goal has been set at $2000 but I am hopeful to get $1000. This again will pay for the printer and materials needed to supply it. Thankby thekendall - General

May I ask why everyone seems to dislike makerbots here? I understand the main goal of the RepRap project but couldn't a makerbot be considered a kind of Repstrap?by thekendall - General

There seems to be a little confusion, We are buying a makerbot Unassembled kit. The reason why we are starting with a Makerbot instead of a RepRAp is because we are inexperienced. Makerbot kits are more uniform than RepRap kits and we feel that we will have a better chance of getting it up and running. We understand that a Prusa would be cheaper, but it is more challenging to build. Also, we do rby thekendall - General
yes, we have thought about making a prusa. The only reason we are going with the makerbot is due to reliability. Its almost like buying a MAc rather than a PC. Pc's are cheaper but macs have a different OS. We do plan on making Prusas afterwards with the makerbot. We are also trying to get money from our PTSA so its easier to tell them that we are getting a specific item rather than telling themby thekendall - General

Hello! We are trying to start a Reprap: 3D printing and Industrial Design club at Balboa High School ins San Francisco. Our club will spread the RepRap project to youth and hopefully interest them in the DIY world and careers in STEM. We will be learning about industrial design and its relationship to 3D printing. However, we need your help to make this project a success. We want to buy a Makerboby thekendall - General

SO does a metric extruder work on SAE prusa?by thekendall - General
Hello, I am looking into building a reprap and have been looking at the Wade's extruder. I am a little lost. is there an SAE extruder for an SAE Prusa or are they the same? Also, Where might I get the hotend that is both cheap but reliable. This is my first 3d printer. Do you reccomend Wade's or Adrian or any other extruder?
