Try HDPE, it will break like glass if you put it in -18C for a couple of hours and then let it fall...by Mr. Seeker - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Worth to mention that they use the same thing with glassfiber shards right now. Nanotubes have indeed better results, but the drawback that nanotubes are very problematic when inhaled, because of the dust factor you need very specialized producing technics. I am not sure that they will make 3mm round material, but sheets instead for protection against elektrostatic discharge. But its something toby Mr. Seeker - Let's design something!

Hello, Just read the new Quest from holland (scientific magazine) dated april 2009, and the reprap is mentioned as a source for more information about rapid prototyping. It doesnt talk about the reprap itself, but more about the profits of using rapid prototypers to create stuff that used to take days. Worth to mention on the main site that the reprap doesnt melt plastic like the Z-corp machineby Mr. Seeker - General

Just joking... What I know is for building a reprap is a basic understanding of soldering and electronics (if you can solder velleman kits, you can solder this too). Also basic understanding of handtools like a hacksaw and a file. For making a reprap work, you only need a pc and a working program. If you want to screw around with the program, you should learn at least Java or C++. If you wanby Mr. Seeker - General
Then you need to go on scavaging hunt. Erikdebruijn knows a place to get steppermotors for 20 euro pp, but if you want to buy most of the electronics from america its cheaper to get them in one package together with the rest... The rest can be found in hardwarestores. Only the plastic parts need to be printed, but i hope to supply europe on demand somewhere in april early may. Think it will cosby Mr. Seeker - For Sale
The opto endstop is for stopping and calibrating your reprap. A reprap wont work without the opto endstops. It is like taking off the stick of a blind man and telling him to walk.by Mr. Seeker - General

Try the SVN for the latest laser cutting parts. If I am correctly, version Darwin 1.0.6 (on sourceforge) has the STL files, also a complete assembly. I have troubles with this assembly, but it should work.by Mr. Seeker - General
I think that guy forgot something: 1. First of all, it is possible to get a larger scale of reproduction than we have now. I am sure about this one, but it needs some investigation. I am sure that there are more things from the reprap that can actually be made out of plastic (instead of steel, but then the reprap would cost more). 2. Mutation.

What I always use is a piece of paper, for example the newspaper of yesterday and put it on your desk/whatever you want to save... You can make a huge mess on it, and when you are finished you just fold the paper and throw it away. Thats how I do it on my wooden table...by Mr. Seeker - Controllers
There are good small laserpointers with high wattage around, but they will cost you more than the reprap is worth... And then you can only cut paper or small pieces of plastic.by Mr. Seeker - Reprappers

Hoi, Welkom bij reprap Vergeet niet jezelf voor te stellen in de nederlandse forums You can always check www.bitsfrombytes.com, they have a fully functional reprap for around 1050-1100 euro including shipping & tax. ErikDeBruijn is helping people with making repraps in Utrecht (fablab on monday). I can provide people with parts around april, if BfB ships in march... I dont have any partsby Mr. Seeker - Wanted
A breakout board for Arduino, means that all the pins that can be found on an arduino are put on a big board where you can put the elektrical wires in without soldering. This board is placed on top of an arduino. Very handy when you have thick wires and you want to connect them to your arduino without soldering. V1.4 means that it is version 1, revision 4.by Mr. Seeker - General
You can also use Muriatic acid(HCl) and hydrogen peroxide, it wont get slower and slower and you can re-use it whenever you want. The cool thing about this is that you will end up with copper... See also this topic on etching:by Mr. Seeker - Controllers

Hey, I tried to find 1.0.6 on the wiki, but I found out that its not there. The sourceforge site gives me an assembly, but the relations are wrong, thus giving me a blown up assembly. Anyone who can fix this?by Mr. Seeker - RepRap Host
I have an idea, but not sure if you like it: Fixed webcam & recording software... If you know the distance from the surface to the extruder, you can calculate the distance in pixels. You know the time (x frames per second), and with this you can calculate flow speed Crappy solution, but worksby Mr. Seeker - Mechanics
What do you exactly mean? Throw the optical endstops away and use mouse sensors or use the mouse to count the teeth on the stepper motors? The problems that will occur (that I know of) are the same as with the webcam: 1. Accuracy (totally depends on the CCD camera inside the mouse) 2. Programming 3. Skipping The 1st problem can be solved, the 3rd one not actually... An optical mouse works by reby Mr. Seeker - Controllers

They said to me a shoebox with values of 300x300x100mm should be good for a standard reprap, if you want to get bigger the best thing is to cut it in smaller parts. I never used skeinforge, so i cant tell you the best options.by Mr. Seeker - RepRap Host
