General discussions

While the entire forum is for RepRap research and development, chat, [[Robots]] and other fun things you can make with RepRaps, you may want to announce and discuss Gada Prize ideas and projects and thereby form up teams.

People building or using RepRaps

Deposition of living biological tissue.

test forum

Robo-one (30cm bipeds), tiny maze runners and hulking industrial robots, it's all cool! Here's my robot and here's the [[page]] on RepRap's wiki where you can make one too!

Here's what I made, here's a photo, and here's a link to the [[page]] on RepRaps wiki!

Robots, children's blocks, wooden clocks, its all good! Here's my idea and here's the [[page]] on RepRap's wiki where we can log in and click "edit".

Building a SplineScanner or BookScanner? Using one, made it better? Your RepRap is a scanner? You just use a (video)camera to scan things? You make your own telescopes? Talk about it here.

Whether it's "I went to the museum today!" , "This is my new sculpture!", or "This fell off my car!", your scan is welcome here. And in the RepRap Library/Gallery/Part Archive.

3D Design tools, Art of Illusion, Blender, CAD tools, etc. What are you using? What are your favorite tutorials?

Not sure how to add to our documentation or the RepRap-stewarded Commons? Ideas on how to organize files? Want to change our policy? This is where we calmly and thoughtfully discuss these matters at length.

Praise, questions, complaints, etc. go here.

Mendel is the cool new printer! http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel

http://reprap.org/wiki/Huxley Huxley is like Mendel, only smaller and cuter.

A self-replicating metal powder printer: http://reprap.org/wiki/MetalicaRap

http://reprap.org/wiki/Delta

http://reprap.org/wiki/Extruded_Aluminum

FlatPackRepStraps, Deltas Robots, Donuts and Eiffel/RBS. Better than Mendel? Maybe. This is where all the action is.

http://reprap.org/wiki/Polar & http://reprap.org/wiki/Robot_Arm

Darwin was the first RepRap, and people still make them. Out of plastic, and wood, and metal, and ...

Discuss any sort of mechanical stuff here: positioning systems, gears, extruding methods, etc.

Printing issues ...

Self-replicating Fab Lab -> http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/RepLab

Plastics, Epoxies, Resins, Photopolymerization, etc - Research, Development, Use, and Analysis -> http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Plastics

Plastic Extruders, mostly - > http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Extruder

(Contents under pressure) -> http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Paste_Extrusion

http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Shape_Deposition_Manufacturing

Casting -> http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Casting Moldmaking -> http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Molds

You lay down a layer of powder, you fuse particles, you repeat.

Add a new print head to the Reprap, capable of laying wire/thread materials directly from a spool into a printed part!

Have you tried bolting a dremel or router to your RepRap? Can you engrave and drill PCBs? Or cut wood, or ... steel? (Or do you have a commercial mill or CNC router?)

http://reprap.org/wiki/Laser_Cutter

Here we'll try to put stuff onto boards and bake them. With robots! And toaster ovens! And we'll try to build other fabrication workcells and connect them together.

Guys? Gals? All of you are devs. This is development. Use http://lists.reprap.org/mailman/listinfo/reprap-dev

Support for the quite nice RAMPS Electronics http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS

Anything electronics related: microprocessors, motor and head driver circuitry, Eagle issues, soldering tips, etc.

The Sanguino is an extension of the popular Arduino board designed and developed by Zach Hoeken et.al. for the RepRap Research Foundation

Also generators and spinny electromotive esoterica.

So, I took apart this printer ...

Building an electronic art project? Or a software radio? Think blue LEDs are cool? Are you a circuit bender? Discuss it here.

Java - everyone loves it and it works well everywhere. Maybe.

"I just printed out a set of plastic Mendel Parts, who wants to buy them? p.s. RepRap.org isn't responsible for scams and bad deals.

You have a set of Mendel Parts? You have a benchtop mill? I will sell you a "Vitamin Kit".

GPL, industrial secret. It's all good.
