Brisbane
Who & What
We're a gang of people in Brisbane (QLD, Australia) embarking on an endeavour to build 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 Arjen's downstairs area which has sufficient space for
RepRap and meetings. Arjen is 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 join this group! In particular, if you have solid experience with
chemistry, or have used the Art of Illusion software (or Blender) and willing to teach others, we'd love to hear from you!
