The EchoRap is a simple and robust RepRap designed by Robotic Sequencing in Montreal’s first and only Fab Lab, ÉchoFab. It’s a low cost and simplified version of the original RepRap using tubes instead of threaded rods for a different geometry. The design is licensed under Creative Commons Non-Commercial</a>, so if you have acces to a 3D printer, you can print one for yourself or to give to a friend. Files to print parts are available on Thingiverse.
The design allows builders to build it as a RepRap or a RepStrap. All parts can be printed or cut. Assembly of the structure is very easy: tubes and simple coupling. The X Y Z axes can be enlarged using longer tubes and rods. Current table size allows the use of standard Mendel or Prusa heated beds. Gen7 Electronics, PrintrBoard rev D has been tested and works well. Other RepRap electronics can also be used. All the sofware is Open-Source.
