Re: Custom Machined Metal Mendel - 15 years ago
I'm very highly interested in these metal parts. I view them as a cheaper alternitive then paying 300 for someone to print plastic versions ( I have connections to a metal shop). Has anyone constructed this, and verified all the engineering is ironed out? I'm a software guy, I can put it together and enjoying doing so, but I'd have a hard time figuring out a mechanical flaw. Thanks! I've alreadyby L4nce0 - General Mendel Topics

Yeah, Sadly CU essentially said, were not going to share our toys unless your one of us. I'd like to shave as much off as I can... too bad the part's aren't just mounting brackets. I could then just drill into polycarbonate from my local plastic store. I have a lot of experience with that material. I emailed about 4 other universities. I don't think any except for CSM has one. Course CSM is moreby L4nce0 - General
Greetings from Fort Collins - 15 years ago
Hey I'm Jim. I'm starting to look into all the details about building a Mendel Reprap. do any of you meet up and talk about these projects? I'm really into computer modding, that is the main purpose of this project. So I can make my own custom computer case parts. rom drive racks, etc. I'm 21. I go to school at CSU for software engineering. you can see my case at myspace.com/l4nce0 ( the only rby L4nce0 - Colorado, Denver RepRap User Group

I'll look into the user groups. So far my university says no, but I'm sure either Mines or CU boulder will have one. If mines doesn't they don't deserve their reputation. Thanks for the links! hah yeah but one can only read material for so long! I'm a learn by doing sort of guy. I've been drooling over this for like 8 months now. I'm more or less waiting for my credit card to come in...by L4nce0 - General

I'm contacting my local universities asking to use their 3d printers. However I can't seem to locate the exact items to be printed... I mean we have the list of things, but those aren't autocad files?by L4nce0 - General
Re: POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF REPRAP GNU LICENSE - 15 years ago
Wait.. you want to punish someone who has greatly help, publicized and made more popular, something you are an enthusiast of? What the heck man? Also what I read in the licence, the reprap licence is do what ever you want, even sell it.by L4nce0 - Administration, Announcements, Policy
Re: Help me figure reprap and it's choices out! - 15 years ago
I'm sorry for typos. I've more or less lost my glasses of late.. oh hey I was reading your blog the other day hydraraptor. I was wondering why your prints looked so much, shinier then the others I've seen? Well I'm trying to see if my university will help me print these out. Given the snooty engineering department I'm going to guess no. They have a rep for not helping any non mech engineer. Iby L4nce0 - General
Help me figure reprap and it's choices out! - 15 years ago
I've been drooling over the idea of making one of these beasts. Though when it comes down to it, I'm a poor college student. I'm working summers, I'm thinking of taking out a credit line and buying one. I may even make most of my cash back, as my CS friends want to rent usage time. So I'm looking, the Mendel is listed as an approximate price of about 400. I can totally afford that! So okay, I tby L4nce0 - General
