RepRap Snappy

[Sam Harmon]

Since we now have a 3D printer with a big enough bed to print the biggest parts of this, it might be kind of fun to build:

Who wants to help out?

I will help, but not that much because I have a lot on my plate. Perhaps we can set up a list of parts and tasks on a check off sheet in the space so folks can step in and do stuff.

Hmmm. It seems to cost, in the end, more than ones you just buy ... is it better, or faster, or bigger?

It’s not quite as expensive as they make it out to be - their printed parts estimate is based on $30/kg filament, whereas we get $15/kg filament at Micro Center, and have a couple of partial spools already.

We’ve also got *most* of the electronics and other parts already on hand- I think the only major expenses will be for the extruder hot end & 686 bearing, and maybe some cables or other minor things.

The biggest (virtual) expense is in print time- it’ll probably be a while until we have enough parts printed to start putting it together, unless some volunteers with printers want to take on a part or three in their spare time...

Hmm. The printer I had has been sent onto the other owner. But since you are saying it may be cheaper, then sure, let us try it.

I started a spreadsheet to track printing progress, since there are a lot of parts to print:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jwSLDXKn8Jsij83Uw-GTa3-WKPTkHxfuVk4eCaoVHxo/edit?usp=sharing

If anyone else with a printer wants to take on a part or three, mark it in the spreadsheet and bring them in to the space when they’re done.
