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.
