Re: Reprap for high school science/technology department? - 12 years ago
I guess, my advice is that if its not too much trouble, find a local "reprap group/guy" and seeif you can get a demo print . . see what he uses and judge from there. . You can get tips and a whole heap of knowledge for beginners with actually seeing and experiencing the whole molten plastic machine (3d printer) lol . If you are in the christchurch area.. Id be willing to give you a demo. .jusby Alizier21 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: heated bed 12"x12" - 12 years ago
I have abandoned the project as it was too expensive to produce for my limited funds . .but, one avenue to look at would be silicone heated pads if you're real keen on a bigger HB build area. Silicone pads I havent tried them myself. If you do, please post back. .by Alizier21 - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Re: BBB - 12 years ago
Hmmmm...no one? guess Im on my own..... upon my quest of knowledge and some insight on how to use the BBB, which i was not surprized to find, was a cape which would be fitting. well, more research i guess....by Alizier21 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: Motors - 12 years ago
accurate, as in if you tell your printer to go 100mm. does it fall short or it overshoots your target? missed steps? if you live nearby maybe we could check out your rig...by Alizier21 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
BBB - 12 years ago
I have come across this wee, wonderful board called the Beagle Bone Black (BBB).. its a nifty little board packed with a AM3359 1GHz ARM® Cortex-A8, prized at $45 USD (57.77NZD on the current forex). like the arduino boards, which have shields, this nifty little board has what they call capes. A lot of cool projects for the DIY -ers, hackers..etc. ect. I am very new to the dev side of theby Alizier21 - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Re: 3d Printer for Philippines - 12 years ago
Why not try to make the kits locally . . .it would be more cost efficent that way . .all the raw material is available sa pinas. . .just some means to make it happen . .i know some guys in the local 3d printing scene are starting to build their repraps pinoy style . .contakin mo sila . .they will point you in the right direction . .by Alizier21 - Philippines RepRap User Group
Re: electronics - 12 years ago
Kagit ano reprap build mo . .pede mo gamitin kahit ano electronics na available. Tingnan mo lang kung ano mga options ang gusto mo . . Kung gusto mo gumamit ng ramps . .sa tingin ko di ka na sasablay dun . .pero kung gusto mp simple lang at will work for you . .tingnan mo din sanguinololu . . Sa supplier sa pinas . .tingin ka sa sulit . .kung ala ka talaga makita na may customer support. . .by Alizier21 - Philippines RepRap User Group

Re: Building a machine - 12 years ago
One more point to consider on your design is vibration, as the machine will be moving constantly . .mas prone ang all metal printer sa ingay due to low level vibration galing sa mga stepper motors . . Kung malalagyan mo ng mga balot/dampers ang mga smooth rods sa mounting point mo . . Mas mabuti . .mababawasan kung di mawala lahat ng ingay . . Yung extruder . . .kung gagamit ka ng metal gearsby Alizier21 - Philippines RepRap User Group
