Reprap

I hope no-one minds that I set up a little bit of the metalab wiki to work on the reprap project.

WTF?

This is a robot (3d printer) that I hope to have done for Roboexotica 2007 - "Festival for Cocktail Robotics" which starts this Friday. The noble goal is to be able to print out shot glasses!

Fellow metalab guys know already from Paraflows 06 that RepRap is short for Replicating Rapid-prototyper.

If you would like to help that would be great. I'll be at metalab every night all week, but feel free to contact me.

Components

Here are the parts of the project. If you can help on them, great!

1. Reprap/Hardware
2. Reprap/Software
3. Reprap/Electronics
4. Reprap/Extruder

What's needed?

Urgent: Supplies needed! If you can give, lend or sell me the following things, that would be great

• Power supply: 12 volt computer power supply... the kind that come in beige boxes will work I think. GOT IT!
• Skate Bearings GOT THEM!
• Non-Metric and metric drill bits and taps
• 3 Stepper motors beefy ones would be good, but if you just have an old printer we could probably extract them.
