I'm currently trying to buy hardware for my first reprap, and found this group on the forum. It looks like a fun group of makers–I look forward to the next meeting!
I was wondering if anyone had advice on local dealers for hardware or electronics? I can always find things online, but sometimes it's nicer to buy things locally so you can see what you're getting. In particular, would anyone in the group be interested in selling a set of printed prusa parts? I'd rather deal with friendly face than a random ebay dealer, and maybe get some advice while I'm at it.
You may be able to get parts from Jeremie Santos. I gave him parts and now
he's printing wonderfully. You can make your own gen7 electronics. The nuts
and bolts can be bought from Marshall's hardware in Miramar.

Thanks a lot! I currently have the electronics prototyped on a breadboard.
I was thinking of making a Gen7 after I get the printer mostly working, but
etching is a bit intimidating so I'm putting it off.

I use ultimachine RAMPS and make mendelmax style repstraps ... but
design is customizable based on configuration.
If you are curious I run a biotech reprap lab (www.htsresources.com)
... its moved to sorrento valley. We build various modules for
scientific stuff.
The shop is at oneworldlab.com we mostly focus on selling small
antibody aliquots but play around (alot) with reprap to handle samples
at this small volume scale.
I kind of think prusa is not work making since there are so many other
configurations now.
Anyway if you want to see one in action you are welcome to stop by anytime.

Thanks for the offer! I may take you up on that someday when I can arrange
for a car. It's always fun to see bio applications for repraps (I'm a
bioinformatics grad at UCSD). Have you seen any of Russell Neches' thesis
work? He uses custom-printed 96-well
plates<http://vort.org/2011/09/19/how-sequence-10000-metagenomes-3d-printer/>for
metagenomic sequencing. He also has some really cool arduino and
open-hardware hacks as part of his
thesis<http://vort.org/2012/03/04/blogging-my-candidacy-exam/>.
My second-favorite bioreprap is the Baricuda sugar
extruder<http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26343>,
which they used to engineer vascular networks in artificial tissues.
I'm surprised to hear a strong statement like "not worth making" applied to
the prusa. What do you feel are the principle drawbacks to the prusa? Build
volume? Accuracy? Does using aluminum extrusions instead of threaded rod
really make such a big difference?
Cheers,
Spencer

Everyone is different. Prusa is great but you are limited by scaling
... you spend all this time making it then you have it and you're like
it would be cooler .. if so I had made a couple of prusas only to take
the apart to make something else. So aluminum extruders are the way to
go for me. But I need to be flexible for adapting to various customers
,etc .

Taking it apart and making it cooler seems like the whole point of open
hardware. But I don't have to print on a deadline for customers, so I guess
that gives you a different perspective. For now I think I'll go with the
best documented machine, which is the standard prusa.

I recently did a lot of research on the various machines out there and I have to agree with Richard that the design of the Prusa seems, IMHO, not as thought out as a number of the newer designs. Not that it's bad - it's just not as evolved. I'm new to RepRap so bear that in mind when evaluating my opinion, but I am a Mechinical Engineer who has been designing machines for 7 years now, so I have a fair sense the quality of a design if I look at it with some thoughtfulness. That's what I did when researching machines for myself, and in the end there were two that really stuck out to me. Keep in mind I don't know for sure that I covered all the machines out there in my searching.
I was looking for high resolution at a low cost, and I ended up going with the Tantillus. So far it's just blown me away - much better than the $30,000 FDM machine I used to have at work, in terms of surface quality and tolerances. And the support from the designer (Brad aka Sublime) is just amazing - he is extremely knowledgeable about 3D printing and seems to truly care about creating a high quality open-source product.
Haha almost forgot to answer your original question - I've already started printing a set of the printed parts for a Tantillus machine (I figured I'd either build another one for myself or sell the parts to someone who wanted them), so if you're interested let me know.
I second Marshall's for hardware. I'm not much of an electronics guy, but the best place I know of for components is Avenue Electronics on University Ave. in the City Heights area.
thanks eric for heads up about electronics store. I would like to see
that machine ...don't know if the group meets up at makerplace but
give a shout out if you ever intend to bring it I will try to stop by

Richard - I really don't know much at all about this group and if/where it meets, but I'd be willing to meet up and talk shop sometime if you like. Your business sounds very interesting to me and I'd love to come by some day and bring the Tantillus along, if you like.
Looking at your website made me think of this 'chemical printer' (for lack of a better term) and I figured it might be something that would interest you if you haven't seen it already: http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/cronin/research.php?t=3D%20Printing

Whoa, I hadn't see the B9 before. Resin curing results in some amazing
products! I deal with protein structures at work, and am always impressed
when someone has one professionally printed using powder-based printers. I
hadn't seen any DIY versions. I might be interested once they release the
source files.
Have you felt restricted by the small build envelope of the Tantillus?

Thanks for the link .. yes we do this stuff and its very much the
focal part of our business ... making various random science gadgets.
Please stop by anytime. We have 2 reprappers in the lab right now but
mostly just making testing and making again.
Normally we are there everyday 9to5. I can do later if you have a better time.
I guess San Diego is sort of less developed as a reprap community
compared to other places, but we had meetings for a while I thought
people would meet up at makerplace. Anyway if there is a shin dig at
makerplace (like on Saturdays wasnt that the day?), I am happy to
bring over a system.
Our lab is pretty fun, I still use the system that the this group
started building when we had a meeting at my lab when it was at UCSD
Hillcrest. That was great fun but when we tried to have the meeting
again ... no one showed up ... I guess they weren't into it, but this
was before makerplace thing started.
If there as a general interest on behalf the group ... then I would
prefer going to Makerplace. But you just want to talk shop compare
systems, then by all means stop by anytime. That would be awesome.

I don't know a whole lot about the powder printers, but there is this group of folks who buy old Zcorp powder machines off Ebay and make home brew powder recipes: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/zcorp402/
The Tantillus build volume is a definite limitation. The creator (Sublime) is currently working on a 100x200x100 version (I've actually helped with the CAD modeling for this larger version Tantillus and it seems not too far off from being ready, though there is one issue with the build platform constraints that still needs surmounting). Personally most of my parts fit within the 100^3 area and if I need something larger then creating a butt-joint or dovetail joint in the CAD model and then gluing multiple parts together seems to work very well as long the joints are properly designed with lots of surface area contact and can distribute any stresses adequately. If you don't need such high resolution it may not be the best choice for you. Also I have heard that there are people out there who have fine-tuned other RepRap printers to produce comparable resolution to the Tantillus - I just am under the impression that it's inherently more difficult to get them to that high-resolution point and to keep them in tune once they're there. I'm not very knowledgeable about this though so maybe someone else can chime in if I'm wrong.

Okay well maybe people will pipe up in this thread if there's an interest in meeting at a Makerplace? You can count me in. Otherwise I'll drop by your lab some time.

My shop offers 3 different kinds of dispensing techniques for powders:
1. Pneumatic (using a air tank/vacuum and different size nozzles)
2. Microcontact (PDMS or agarose stamps)
3. Piezoelectric using combined syringe pump
Of course they can be put on a repstrap system which we build or you
can build whatever.

I am sure thirsty for a cup of coffee and to see some familiar faces.
I will try to be at the coffee shop in Normal Heights 9:30 or 10:00 Sat morning on the chance some of you will turn up.
I have printed on the pro ABS printer at MakerPlace. It is basically push button from an STL file. I got good results at .010 layer resolution. If anyone is interested I would be happy to discuss trying their designs there. Cost is high $6/cu in. There is idol talk of their having a RepRap level machine too. And they could probably use a teacher for that. Also of interest there is a CNC mill.
There are just starting to get experience with it.
MakerPlace is expensive. I have been in Santa Fe and I am currently on leave. But I have some things I need to do and
will be starting my membership again.

I have been working on a Prusa off and on for a while now. I haven't
gotten it up and running yet though. I'm a mechanical engineer, but I
don't have much knowledge related to electronics and software. I
think it's a really interesting project and it would be great to meet
some people with similiar interests.
Would you mind telling me the address of the coffee shop?

Hi Guys,
I have been working on a Prusa off and on for a while now. I haven't
gotten it up and running yet though. I'm a mechanical engineer, but I
don't have much knowledge related to electronics and software. I
think it's a really interesting project and it would be great to meet
some people with similiar interests.
Would you mind telling me the address of the coffee shop?
Thanks,
Dan
