July 28-29: Build Your Own 3D Printer
In
this class, you will be building a MendelMax 1.5, the most advanced
version of the RepRap 3D printer. Since many parts of the RepRap are
made from plastic, they can be printed on a RepRap, meaning the RepRap
self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can
assemble given time and some additional materials. It also means that -
if you've got a RepRap - not only you can print out all sorts of fun
stuff, you can also print all the plastic parts needed to make another
RepRap for a friend, or use the knowledge to fix it, repair it, and
3D-print upgrades!
