Re: McWire RepStrap - 16 years ago

Hi PeterC, I am still busy building the RepStrap, it's not yet complete. (so I haven't made anything with it either) I have all the electronics - mostly made - I blew a stepper driver board and need to make 3 or 4 more opto end stops. Then the places to mount the opto end stops needs some work... I should have it completed mid June, then I can start building things. Ill post about it when

Re: Impossible to download reprap-stepper-driver-1.2.zip - 16 years ago

Hi Sid, Is there a version of the stepper driver & all the electronics that is single sided with through hole components. I am trying to make my own PCB's... I could try take the schematic & make my own board layout, but it would be really nice to have a version that has already been done. thanks

McWire RepStrap - 16 years ago

Hey all, yesterday I completed the mechanical parts for my McWire RepStrap. I'm very excited. Follow my blog for my full build experience. I had a bit of a hard time converting the imperial measurements to metric. I will try write up a BOM with only metric parts. I found that you could mostly substitute the original parts for anything similar. Now its back to etching PCB's with ferric chlorid

Re: Just thought I'd introduce myself... - 16 years ago

Hey NewPerfection, SNAP! I also have been following the reprap project for a while now & have decided now is the time to get involved! I was a bit of a pain when everything closed here in the December period but now that it is January I have made some decent progress! I'd be interested on seeing your progress as you go along as well...

Re: McWire Lasercut Parts Dementions? - 16 years ago

Yes I agree! the sizes of the acrylic or perspex are not shown... I used a 5mm thickness of perspex... printed the PDF stickers & used a jigsaw to cut them... a power drill to drill, since I don't yet have a drill press. I think my dad has ordered me a "drill press clone"... you stick a standard power drill in it & it used gears & other mechanical things to achieve the same results.

Re: Building a RepRap in ZA - 16 years ago

Hi everyone, I just thought I'd keep everyone posed on my progress! Does anyone know if anyone from South Africa has built a reprap? or repstrap?
