Hi all
After the OSDC 2013 conference in Auckland, Claire and I visited Vik Olliver's DiamondMind HQ and picked up a kit of his latest reprap model, the DiamondMind mk.II
http://www.mindkits.co.nz/store/kits/3d-printing/diamondmind-3d-printerCustoms and AQIS didn't fuss over it (amazingly) so it's now just awaiting assembly here. We have to belay that by a few weeks because we've just been having open homes for selling our house (bought a bigger place). When the open homes are done, we can build (what self-control eh! ;-)
It's a sturdy piece of engineering, and about half the price of a MakerBot.
If there is interest, I could import DM kits from Vik "in bulk", and even pre-assemble some here for those who want to print but not build.
I'll bring it along to some barcamps and other suitable events.
Cheers,
Arjen.
