DIY Build Method as used by BodgeIt for Repraping from 2007 - 2010.

Print out the PDF DXF drawings to scale on a Printer. Laser printer or Inkjet printer.

Cut out the parts including the outlines or if neded stick multilpe prints together to create a full part image.

This method works best using MDF as it is easy to cut with a craft knife, chisel, hacksaw, dremel.

Select your MDF sheet stick the outline you want to make onto it using a Glue stick.

Drill all the required holes.

Now start cutting out the shape using a craft knif or any tool you prefer.

Make your self a Cupstrap or BasicMendel or Huxley Seedling using this method.
