Hi,
Last Wednesday afternoon / evening / night, I 3d-printed this bird feeder thing on the Rlab Reprap 3d-printer, pictures attached.Mark

Nice job Mark J
The slight stringing could potentially be tuned out with a slight increase in retraction (maybe -0.5mm) , and/or decrease in temperature, but I imagine it was trivial to clean up!
I am going to look at the odd noise from the PSU as pre-emptive maintenance, but good to see it’s all still working well!
Off the back of this - who is currently in need of an induction on the RepRap 3D printer?
Cheers
Alex

Alex,
I should note that I modified the configuration of the extruder motor, to allow printing at higher heights; the way you originally set it up, it couldn't move above ~ 70mm due to the X carriage piece hitting the extruder, and my piece was 100mm. I inverted the extruder and moved the filament reel to the shelf above. This seems to work ok.

I'd like a tutorial please Alex.
I've recently gone from 0-100% interest in 3D printers so I'd also be interested in advice from you and the other 3D printer ninjas on how to go about making my own. I'd be looking to optimise quality and cost (for say < £500) using my time and patience as a resource if that's possible :)

Chris, WRT making your own 3D Printer.
The Thames Valley Rep Rap User Group (TVRRUG) has monthly sessions at
rlab on the 3rd Monday evening of each month (18th is the next) and
potentially an interim session on the first Monday. There would
certainly be 3DP builders and operators there and printers could be
brought in with advanced warning, I suggest you come along and get
acquainted.
TVRRUG has been promoting the building and use of 3DPs for some years
and we have organised 3 rounds of Prusa builds to date incorporating
enhancements to the open source designs and custom designed electronics.
We are now planning a round 4 machine based on the Mendel90, pitched at
the approximate budget you mention, using more optimal fabrication
techniques and off the shelf components than previously but still
focused on the needs and interests of the 3DP enthusiast/tinkerer rather
than complete beginner. That said, we are considering a reference design
for the latter but this is secondary to the Mendel at the moment. We
have not finalised the Round 4 design yet but can show a beta machine
and your signing up to take part in round 4 would be the key first step
if you wish to build one as we need enough people involved if we are to
exploit group buying discounts.

Alex: Sounds good, I'm available most times, just let me know.
David: That sounds like exactly what I'm after. Do I need to be put on a list to make sure I don't miss meet ups etc.? Definitely interested in seeing the beta printer if it's not a hassle.

I'd love an induction too. Simon started one but the control board fried so we had to abandon it. This was about a year agao!

Right, that's 3 and a quorum.
Will suggest a date as soon as I am done with a current customer project.

Yeah the owner actually ordered replacement parts because apparently her horse had stood on it which is why it was missing.

Not been on the group for a little while so I don't know if I'm too late here, but I'd also like an induction on the printer if there's any spaces left? (I recently got a part built Prusa I2 to reassemble, and would like to know what I'm doing before getting to work on it).
