[hide]Overview
A 3D printer capable of printing parts to make another identical 3D printer.
The Plan
- I'd like to use 3rd generation electronics, namely what the Makerbot Cupcake CNC is using, just to stay ahead of the curve.
- Heated bed to allow for a wider variety of printing medium usage and to prevent warping of the printed objects.
- Different heads after the initial build to give it some added flexibility/capability. See Options section for more details.
Options
Progress
- 11:18, 23 March 2010 (CDT) : Plastic structural parts printed on another reprap located in the Czech Republic have been obtained.
- Cost: $220 shipping included.
- 11:50, 8 April 2010 (CDT) Gathered two stepper motors with a 0.9 degree/step rating that might work for the X and Y axis.
- Phil says he has all the bearings needed and is willing to use the electronics from the Makerbot Cupcake CNC that he bought to get one built. It was his original plan. We also might have another person willing to help in the building experience. --strages 22:20, 13 September 2010 (CDT)
- Looking into(i.e. "have emailed") getting fasteners + bars from Huntsville Fasteners (re: shopping locally as per conversation 9/13/10) -- Phil 17:48, 15 September 2010 (CDT)
- 20 September 2010 - Fasteners ordered from Huntsville Fasteners.
- 10:27, 21 September 2010 (CDT) - Belts and Washers that HuntFast couldn't get ordered from McMaster-Carr.
- This leaves the Bar & Threaded stock and the Thick Sheet (control board backing & print surface backing) - All are believed to be available from Home Depot or Lowes.
