3D Printer
Started putting the printer together today.
SSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLOOOWWWWLLLLLLY.
Put bolts in --- take bolts out
rotate, flip
put blots in - take bolts out
insert hidden boits, attach feet
reset step motors
put bolts in
we are not doing this on our own.
we have a video we rewind often
I call our video guru Mr Hands.
so the makes us Mr Bill.
Will post pictures cause it is fall
down funny putting this thing together
Maybe one day I will be able to print
up the knobs for the Motorola.

Re: 3D Printer
I've been looking at a RepRap on Ebay.
There is freeware 3d software you can get.
But to truly get the most out of your 3D printer, you need a 3D scanner. A 3D scanner can create the 3D image in the software from an actual object that is necessary to send to the 3D printer.
Instant copy.
(ha ha...instant. More like a couple hours, but you get the point.)

There's even one on Ebay that is almost entirely made of plastic with about 70 percent of the replacement pieces actually being able to be manufactured by the device itself.

Re: 3D Printer
mr hands said use the plastic Y rod parts
well no plastic ---- there wood.
we bolted the table to Y rods
then notice the machine screws banging
into the tire wraps that held the bearing down
First solution in project: use washers to raise
bolt to clear tire wraps. Get point for that one
Tomorrow we go: Z assembly
You may note the belt is just a straight run threaded
back through the wood block.
