We want to use our Type A Machine 3D printer to print a RepRap.

Understand the many choices - different models, designs, iterations.

Dream big! Find a very large frame and make a huge reprap like Noisebridge did recently. It doesn't have to be laser-cut or water-etched. It just needs some reasonably rigid 90 degree angles ...
Print plastic parts
- start with raw scad - create a compile script like the magnets have
- consider the Mendel 90, or its improved version
Find cheap sources of:
- NEMA 17 Stepper motors (Adafruit)
- Extruder head / nozzles
- rods, belts, etc

We already have:
