RepRap Update 1

Just a quick update on the RepRap Prusa project! ๐Ÿ˜€
Received all the printed parts and alot of the hardware needed to assemble, from a popular eBay seller (his site)

Went on a crazy mission to find 2nd hand NEMA17 motors for R50 !! ๐Ÿ˜€ I have some NEMA23’s but they were too big… hope to design a mod to the reprap in the future to take the nema23’s

Assembled Wade’s extruder:

Testing:

Hobbed my first bolt using the file and M5 thread tap method, came out pretty well for a first attempt I think!

Unfortunately made a major mistake with my sanguinololu boards.. put the transparencies on back to front!~facepalm~ ordered a replacement off ebay for ~R100, will try make some more boards when I get the time..

Thats it for now kids!

    Hi,

    I ordered from Makerfarm last week, wondering how long your order took to get here and what did customs charge?

    Keen to see more of your progress, I am getting the full set so will be up and running asap. I also have LOTS of filament on the way at a good price so let me know if you keen.
