Where we stand.

The first (of many) 3D printing robots is so close we can taste it.  As always we got to a point and realized one (or several) parts we’re missing or didn’t order.

  1. The thermistor for the extruder head (ordered)
  2. Pulley for the X-Y stage, we’ll probably fabricate something, but if the Reprap was any indication, we may have trouble with our self-designed laser cut pulleys.
  3. The Z-stage belt.  Whups, we forgot to order it.
  4. Oh the electronics.  Looks like we’re planning on gutting the Reprap to get one or the other up and running.

There’s a few things we can put together in the mean time, but actually not a whole lot.  Commence waiting.
