The Australian RepRap groups seem to be losing a bit of momentum lately, I think this may be due to the lack of parts here in Oz.

I have looked at sourcing all the metal parts from the U.S and am inquiring to see how many people would be interested in a kit.

The kit contains:

1 brass nozzle with a 0.4mm orifice
1 brass heater barrel
1 PTFE thermal break
1 steel drive screw
2 brass half-bearings for the drive screw
2 nuts for the steel drive screw

I am currently waiting for the pricing to bring in a bulk lot and will let anyone interested know

Please reply if your interested.]]> Oscar Fox Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:19:12 -0800 http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?107,12904,12904#msg-12904 http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?107,12904,12904#msg-12904 [groups.google.com]]]> arjen Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:16:33 -0700 http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?107,10566,10566#msg-10566 http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?107,10566,10566#msg-10566
We're a gang of people who will shortly endeavour on building a RepRap, with the aim of exploring everything! This will involve frequent meetings, learning about the different aspects that may be outside individuals' expertise (electronics/microcontrollers, chemistry), and so on.

Everybody is chipping in with a few dollars to participate and keep things going (just for materials and such), the startup gang has committed to contributing a bit more to get the first RepRap built. It is going to be built in my downstairs area which has sufficient space for RepRap and meetings. I'm based in Kenmore (Western suburb).

We also aim to provide the reprap components for building other repraps in Brisbane, and get more local groups going that way. We feel it's very important to use RepRapped components (i.e. self-replicated) rather than continuing to use seedlings. There are also plans for involvement with schools and other educational facilities, as the possibilities are fantastic.

If you would like to be involved somehow, or just be kept informed, please do respond here or send me a private email [a r j e n (at) l e n t z (dot) c o m (dot) a u]. In particular, if you have solid experience with chemistry, or are an ace using the Art of Illusion software and willing to teach others, we'd love to hear from you!

Cheers,

I'm Arjen Lentz [a r j e n (at) l e n t z (dot) c o m (dot) a u], leading a gang of people in Brisbane, Australia for RepRap adventures. Can we please have a forum here, so we may capture more locals?

Thanks!
