Re: Read First - Lets Discuss and Meet: Parts/Building/Instruction - 11 years ago
would you be interested in a hackerspace setup? Im interseted in looking into a location for it. I have built a huxley with good results.by owism8 - New York, Albany and Greater Capital District
Re: Read First - Lets Discuss and Meet: Parts/Building/Instruction - 11 years ago
Sure I can help you if you need assistance in building one. There are many sources out there to purchase a reprap. I have a huxley which I am not using anymore which I am willing to sell. It needs a little tune up, but I did all the building for you already and It does operate very well. Please let me know.by owism8 - New York, Albany and Greater Capital District

Re: Sell 3d printers at the mall - 12 years ago
Well you have to understand that you can build a printer for 200$ (mendel 90 or printrbot) then resell for 500 or so. So its not as high as you think especially if you buy in bulk and also sell online. Anyways. Would be good to know how others did doing this. Please keep us updated.by owism8 - General
Re: Sell 3d printers at the mall - 12 years ago
Yeah you both have great feedback. I was thinking a similar approach with printed parts available for show. I saw a video of some folks in Germany who setup a kiosk in the town center square with a kinect camera. They took 3d image of people posing in different ways and printed that out for them. Great attraction and personalized and might get the occasional person willing to purchase a printerby owism8 - General
Re: Sell 3d printers at the mall - 12 years ago
I know ive built a huxley. Ive seen stalls in the mall which sell helicopters for 100-200$ so i think it might be possible. just asking if anyone did it yetby owism8 - General
Sell 3d printers at the mall - 12 years ago
Hi all, Has anyone tried to setup a booth/kiosk at a mall to spread the word and sell 3dprinter kits and fully assembled kits? I want to know if your experience was good in terms of sales or was just a show for publicity? I was thinking if you can print our peoples names in a cool 3d way (google sketchup) that can sell and then you might get a few monthly sales? Please let meknow your expeireby owism8 - General

Re: My first reprap is complete! MendelMax... - 12 years ago
May I ask where you got the parts for the mendel max from and what the total price was of all the parts? Looking forward to your reply thanks About the boogers, maybe the head is dragging on the surface due to unalignment of the bed? Also check your Z axis raise rate?by owism8 - General
Re: Commercial 3D printers now available for everyone? - 12 years ago
One thing for sure is , this will definitely open the doors for more creative people to help advance the Reprap project. With a good first printer, they can print good enough parts to test and begin moving reprap ahead so it stays the PIONEER of the 3D printing rhelm and keep reducing the costs of production. Big corporation is taking over fast. Be it makerbot, or 3dsystems Cubify. But if theyby owism8 - General

Re: Solidoodle - any one try it? - 12 years ago
Thanks I appreciate it! video would be great too. Please give detail on hotend, speed, and printbed. thanks again!by owism8 - General
Re: My FIRST successful PRINT! - 12 years ago
Good Work! I know how that feels. Even after buying a "full kit" from a company, you have to purchase and put more hours than expected to get the results you want. checkout my blog for stuff related to the reprap Huxley: www.omemon.com I hope you enjoy your continuation in this community!by owism8 - General
Re: New RepRap on the Block - 12 years ago
yeah that burn leaves a scar. I have a nice nozzle scar on my finger after foolishly trying to adjust the bed while the tip was hot at 220C. yep...by owism8 - General
Re: New RepRap on the Block - 12 years ago
yes would be good if he shares his design as it is derived from some prusa stuff correct? lookin forward to it. I also think it wont be able to expand in all directions because of wobbling unless there is more support added. It is a good item to have for cheap in a classroom, but loosing a lot of platform space, but still great to have. It was my reason of getting the huxley originally, so it iby owism8 - General

oh right i see it now thanks, I looked for something with the title printrbot.by owism8 - General
Printrbot - Kickstart project - Any thoughts? - 12 years ago
Hi all, Just saw this today on Kickstarter. Interesting approach to make it cheaper. He removed all the triangles. Im thinking it cannot be expanded as he states it can because it will wobble more and more without extra support. The hot end looks like just nichrome wrapped around, which I've experienced doesn't last too long. Anyways. Thoughts reprappers? I saw he is using some designs fromby owism8 - General
Re: Techzone - 12 years ago
@ Spenc, I destroyed 2 tips. the design is known to fail but they keep selling it. i bought a hot tip from the user: CdnReprap. he sells a nice adrian extruder tip for $45 and its working great. The x axis carriage does not grip the tip good at all, it gets pushed out, so i screwed it with a wood screw , lame fix but works so far. The monotronics does not work with Skeinforge latest software soby owism8 - General

Re: How RepRap has improved my life - 12 years ago
Agreed, After starting the project, I used it on my resume and my current employer was very impressed with my enthusiasm for reprap and my ability to even build one from pieces and calibrate it. Definitely a great project to have on your engineering resume to get back into the workforce and OH a lot of fun!!!! Thank you reprap community and Dr. Adrian from Bath University.by owism8 - General
Re: Solidoodle - any one try it? - 12 years ago
thanks for your input. Ive also built one, a huxley from techzone, Im looking into this mroe for schools who want one fully built. I wanted to see if anyone tried it out?by owism8 - General
Re: Need help with skeinforge setup (techzone z skipping and pauses fixed) - 12 years ago
Thank you so very much reprappers. Does techzone monolithics firmware need Esteps per MM and Z Steps Per mm changed? Then yes please let me know how. I appreciate all the help ofthis community. very awesome. rock on!by owism8 - Skeinforge

Hi all, as usual before purchasing a 3d printer , did anyone try the solidoodle? Thanks for feedbackby owism8 - General
Re: Need help with skeinforge setup (techzone z skipping and pauses fixed) - 12 years ago
So can you please write up the steps I need to do to fix my techzone monolithics board? Do i need firmware for this SF upgrade? Which SF version? Thanks!by owism8 - Skeinforge
Re: Need help with skeinforge setup (techzone z skipping and pauses fixed) - 12 years ago
so in one post, can you summarize what A new techzone build needs in order to not skip z steps? I wonder if Lambert or Kurt know about this. (the techzone crew) Thanksby owism8 - Skeinforge
Re: Need help with skeinforge setup - 12 years ago
will this work with the techzone firmware? the monolithics electronics?by owism8 - Skeinforge
Re: UP printers, whats their secret? - 12 years ago
yeah I saw that they use cork plates to reduce the vibrative noise of the motors. I read that that reduces the noise a lot. Anyways. back to the subject. there needs to be more business out there like the UP! printer business. A device that is cheaper than the UP, but same quality. Time will tell.by owism8 - General
Re: UP printers, whats their secret? - 12 years ago
Yeah the mosaic looks really nice in terms of print, I think all wooden repstraps have that noise factor though. Anyone can share?by owism8 - General
