Introduction
This page is dedicated to the PSU Unit Yellow 3D printer. This unit will follow the design of the Open Hybrid Mendel developed by students of the EDSGN 497 class at The Pennsylvania State University.
This printer is mainly comprised of yellow frame pieces. The Z axis motors plates are a unique green color because those parts were printed on the makerbots in the PSU Learning Factory.

Work in Progress
Frame
The frame of the printer is completed and the bed has been mounted. The extruder and the endstops are placed and operational.
Electronics
The Arduino and RAMPs boards are operational, as are the motors and thermistor. The only issue is the Arduino shuts down when the leads to the hot tip are connected. Once the electronics problems are solved, most likely by flashing the Arduino, the printer will be operational and ready for testing and tuning.
