Perhaps http://ultimachine.com/? Johhnyr is the fellow who did up the boards, and he has lots of satisfied customers. I've been thinking: if your MDF box doesn't meet your needs, you may want to bing Rhys Jones in Bath and see if you can borrow time on Bath's laser cutter to do up acrylic boxes and pistons.by SebastienBailard - Powder Printing and Selective Laser Sintering
Also what else can a person make or do with a portable 400w UV cure lamp? Well, if you are inkjetting down clearcoat onto a bed of powder http://reprap.org/wiki/A5_Powder_bed_printer then you can use UV to cure it. We're a community oriented around fabrication after all.by SebastienBailard - Plastic Extruder Working Group

Richie, Imagine stuffing .3 mm or .5 mm flexible mechanical pencil lead into a mold. That's the sort of tool marks that you'd have on your pieces. So, it may not be appropriate for your use. But you should build one anyway, because it's fun, and because the world's not going to take over itself! And, at some point, this http://reprap.org/wiki/A5_Powder_bed_printer will become real.by SebastienBailard - General

sebastienb: might need to stick a post in the forum somewhere explaining the name change, or folks might wonder what happened to all the FiveD on Arduino thread. Will do! Hey folks! We've renamed the "FiveD on Arduino" Firmware to "Teacup" Firmware to distinguish it from "FiveD".by SebastienBailard - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
It's fun watching the machine take shape in the wiki. Two thoughts: You may want to look at melamine-coated mdf. That's the slippery coating they use for generic white cabinets. And as folk evolve versions, I'm sure we'll see one based on inkjet cartridges like the HP 51604A.

I'll take a look, thank you Buback. I'm wondering if we may want to eventually push some of it into http://reprap.org/wiki/Example, or, more likely, include a mention to it on [] .

Many of you might not be aware of it, but there's a RepRap Partfs Lister. All the Gen2 and Gen3 Electronics Wiki pages still refer to there. Unfortunately, the thing is broken. You get black error messages on brown background and always "no results". The question is, is this web page a good idea? Or died it because nobody cared? Our best guess is that Zach turned off a server / software somewhby SebastienBailard - Administration, Announcements, Policy
That one's going to be fun, johnrpm. Once it's at hello world, it will take off as people adapt to other inkjet printers, solo inkjet heads, SLS, etc. Keep doing the good work, eh?

Hi Sebastien, I am planning on adding an LCD und Keypad für Mendel Gen3 electronics as was implemented by Revar and documented on Thingiverse.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post commercial links. So just pure description first. If the cast Mendel parts are good, that's something the community needs to know.

I would like to request a forum for the growing State College rep rap community. My friend, known to the community as EtherDias, has already built one unit and will be teaching a class I'm involved with at the Pennsylvania State University in State College which will be assembling two more Mendels and a Darwin.

Perhaps the best use for someone in the larval stage or participation, with suitable tools (such as myself), would be to devote some time to recreating Repraps from .stl files in a CAD system capable of exporting many formats. > > [email protected]> wrote: > >> I'm working on taking a STEP assembly of the Mendel, fixing it up a > >> bit (parts/components missinby SebastienBailard - General
When I joined this thread, I asked what the best tool is for working with these files. That got lost in the discussion of what "CAD files" are. So, if I want to look at or work on Prusa Mendel, my options for files seem to be .stl or .scad. Is OpenScad my only practical option other than rebuilding the models in my system of choice? Nope, happily in a week or two: > > andrewnetherton@gmaby SebastienBailard - General
copy-and-paste from parallel discussion in reprap-dev (which you guys should be in, since you are devs ): Oh, exactly. We've got a whole bunch of sub-populations talking past each other, each championing their favorite tool. Each tool is weakly or strongly non-compatible with other file types. The best way to deal with this is to take a "whatever gets you through the night" approach: uby SebastienBailard - General

Yeah. I'm trying to think of of something to insulate it electrically, and ceramic wrap comes to mind.
