Alright bear with me, this page will be updated soon with some more info. I do understand it's the bare minimal right now.

THE PLAN:

My plan is to come up with an Automated Build Platform for the (Longboat) Prusa RepRap 3D Printer. I'll order mine soon after i finish my Chamber of Commerce papers.

My big example for the Automated Build Platform will be the one from Makerbot:

Right now i'm still in the planning fase and i'll really get going once my Prusa gets in. I have a Trotec Speedy 100 lasercutter at my disposal and a CNC shouldn't be hard to come by so i'm confident that i'll be able to at least build the thing. How i'm going to make the ABP communicate with the printer is a different story but i'm sure there are plenty of smart people in this community that can help out with that.

For now; Greetings!
