Re: 3D Scanning versus 3D digitizing - 14 years ago

One of my other hobbies is animation and most 3D scanned models are of very little use for the following reasons. Never thought about that; I'm more keen on the sculpt->scan->print side of things, but for static figurines. For that I think I can get by with camera and laser-line scanning. Still, sounds utterly cool! I hereby dub the project Mister_Probey. (code name / working name) Wh

Aber ihr seid Entwickler, so .... google translation of: No, it's because you keep doing development. If you were willing to just be users, the label on the front door should just say "users". B

I saw it go up in the wiki, Bodge It. The Print it - Stick it - Cut it approach is interesting. How far along is BasicMendel? http://reprap.org/wiki/BasicMendel Is it at hello world? Or has it pupped yet?

Re: Community College Student Needs Help! - 14 years ago

I've been wondering about that myself, nophead. A fair number of folk do up a WolfStrap: http://reprap.org/wiki/WolfStrap-English and then, from there, once they have that machine working, some of them do up a Mendel and so on. Others just keep the WolfStrap. I think part of this is sort of a cargo cult, Mendel a the holy grail approach. I also think this means, Mendel is just better than W

Re: Grass Roots Engineering RepStrap - 14 years ago

Jim, That's a lovely machine.

Welcome to the RAMPS Support Forum - 14 years ago

Welcome to the support forum for johnnyr's RAMPS electronics. http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS This forum is for support, for development, please join the reprap-dev mailing list: http://lists.reprap.org/mailman/listinfo/reprap-dev Since everyone with a RepRap is technically a RepRap developer, it should get fairly crowded in there. No worries, we're friendly. And we want you to help us make RAMP

Re: Questions about durability of repraped models - 14 years ago

1. How well fused is the thermoplastic parts made by this machine? Good enough to make a 3D printer from them. 2. How can i get a part made by a reprap machine sent to me so i can destroy it... opps i meant "test it"? a local reprap user group is the best way. http://reprap.org/wiki/What_Tooling_Do_You_Have ?

Re: Metal FDM thread - 14 years ago

Thoughts? Start here Wire-feed welders are fairly common tools out there. One drawback with mounting them on a reprap made from thermoplastic is the waste heat might melt your mendel; you'd want to do up a repstrap out of steel or aluminum. One concern: what fabrication tolerances are we trying to hit? Much of this stuff would probably need a finishing pass with a milling head or hand hel

Re: Mendel-parts are not serious - 14 years ago

I think 2 thread 3 posts all within 1 hour is a little excessive. 7 posts total, 2 of which I just deleted because someone flagged them as spam. Carlos, I understand that you are frustrated, but please try to keep it in one thread, and not 7 in days?

Re: Reprap website parts lister?? - 14 years ago

Not a complaint at all, I'm well aware the people publishing these pages are probably not getting paid to do so, and the site is full of useful information. But I was wondering if the decision to move over to the google docs format was for any particular reason other than its too much of an effort to maintain the parts lister??

Re: School Student - 14 years ago

Yes but I have given parts away before and nothing has come of them so you need to get the electronics and the motors before I let you have the parts. NopHead, in the case of those folk, you may want to ping them and gently point them at the loaner program? Couldn't hurt.
