What is a RepRap?
have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMhG4fWQnlE
Current Status
2009-08-23: reprap is ready for print again, z-idler-post where fixed. the extruder update is planed for the end of this week or next week. please keep in mind that the reprap will probably be in a non-productive state after that for a while until it is recalibrated so if you have stuff to print, better do it now.
2009-08-21: Not ready for print: the z-idler-posts are a bit loose, moving belt and driving gear also should be readjusted. 9r plans to work on this next week.
2009-08-01: Should be ready for print again. Please watch printing process carefully, espcially: Is the raft printed too deep in the baseplate (yes: abort!)? Does the z-plate move correctly down during printing?
2008-08-01: New Baseplate has been installed (thanx to mazzoo for cutting it!), extruder is cleaned again and z-axis should be fixed.
On 2009-07-30 the whole reprap was accidentally. Needs a new printing base plate, some cleaning of the extruder and readjustment of the z-axis movement mechanism.
We bought a RepRap v3 kit at http://bitsfrombytes.com.
The machine was financed by donations and by a grant of CCC e.V.
It arrived on 26.05.09. Assembly has been finished on 07.06.09.
