Reverse Space 6PM to 10PM 2-12-2013 – Build, Create, Collaborate.
We have changed the weekly meeting to this Tuesday due to the holiday.
This week at Reverse Space we will be using a 3D printer kit to assemble a 3D printer called the Rostock Max. This kit was bought from the crowdfunding site www.Indiegogo.com. The design for a delta arm 3D printer was inspired by Johann Rocholl whom was born in Rostock Germany and has a degree from Stuttgart University. More information on Johann Rocholl can be found on the wiki below. Delta arm 3D printers are exciting to watch items print and is a great change from the common x and y axis 3D printers.
If anyone would like to build their own Rockstock delta arm 3D printer, Reverse Space would be happy to help. We have all of the parts needed to build your own 3D printer in stock. The cost of building your own 3D printer should be less than $450 in parts with a build volume almost twice that of the MakerBot 3D printers. Members here have been designing and building their own 3D printers for almost a year now. All of the required knowledge to build a 3D printer is available and free at Reverse Space.

Other projects we are working:
Ultimaker 3D printer – we currently are trying to get the best print possibles. (Updated)
ShapeOko CNC – New stepper motor controls are in the mail and on the way. (Updated)
Getting a working print and settings with our DLP light 3D printer called B9Creator
Flight of the 3D printed quad copter drone, and also settings recorded.

Other members who may need help on their projects.
If you have any projects you are working on, feel free to bring it to Reverse Space! We have locked storage space, hundred of tools and electronics, and the largest sections of free to use 3D printers for any Makerspace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace) on the east coast of the US. At this time membership is free.
