We want to use our Type A Machine 3D printer to print a RepRap.
Steps To Do
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
- Find cheap sources of:
- NEMA 17 Stepper motors (Adafruit)
- Extruder head / nozzles
- rods, belts, etc
We already have:
- Glass beds
