In my last update on the building of a Prusa Mendel reprap 3d printer, I finally got everything working in with the printer…if only for a few minutes. I’ve yet to actually print anything recognizable thanks to a number of challenges along the way. Once I got the software sorted, I tried printing some calibration…

Figured it was time for a build update on my Prusa Mendel 3D printer. I had some friends over this past weekend from our RepRap user group and we ended up spending the whole day tinkering with the printer. With huge help from Brad and Eugene, we were able to get everything wired up and…
I’ve been busily printing Prusa Mendel RepRap parts for people on my MakerBot for awhile now and decided to finally setup a proper online store for them and other printed objects at AllThings3D.com After playing with a bunch of different storefront options, I’ve decided to just use a simple PayPal order button for now. There…
It’s been awhile so I thought I’d post a quick update on my Prusa Mendel build progress. Technically, I’ve got everything I need to assemble the 3D printer…just a lack of time lately. I’m hoping to fix that this weekend though. I’ve got all the electronics now and just need to wire them up. I…
I finished printing all the plastic parts needed to build a Prusa Mendel. Also a box of hardware and motors I ordered from Mixshop arrived so I was able to start assembling. I decided to print all the plastic parts with 30% infill except the pulleys and gears which I did at 50% infill. I…
As part of my continuing adventures with a 3D printer, my next project is printing an actual 3D printer, the opensource Prusa Mendel, a Reprap derivative. Well, printing a good portion of it anyways. Aside from a larger build platform which utilizes a slightly different way of printing from my MakerBot (both the extruder and…
