This auction is for a fully built, tested and calibrated RepRap Prusa Mendel 3D printer.
With this printer I'm also offering setup training and install of software when you collect, we will print some things and get you familiar with the machine so when you get it home you can start printing straight away. If you need to know more about RepRap 3D printers, take a look here - http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page If you want to find out more about this machine, please contact me or see my Blog - Take a look here - http://richrap.blogspot.com/2011/08/pimp-my-mendel-how-to-build-up-lm8uu.html 'RichRap mendel Bling' you will find out exactly how I made this machine. It took a long time to build and calibrate this machine and it's really built with love and attention to detail - it was never built to sell, it was made to be my primary show-piece machine and a real work-horse, it's printed hundreds of things and performed really well. This RepRap 3D printer has been used for the last 6 months, and has printed all sorts of 3D objects, most of the things on my Blog (RichRap) have been printed on this machine, Construction of this printer is the most visited page on my Blog. It has many custom added parts and features not found on other machines. Why am I selling it? I love to make 3D printers, and I want to make some more, so for one thing I need the space. I didn't want to break it down for spare parts as that seemed such a waste after I spent so long making it. This is a great machine and would be perfect for anyone thinking about getting into 3D printing, as a hobby or to make prototypes or more 3D printers! The spec - RepRap Prusa Mendel *Bling*
Please contact me if you have any questions. I am happy to setup the software required for this machine, I will include profiles for Skeinforge, Slic3r and pronterface (printrun) and answer any questions you have.

I don't want to post it but if you want to discuss any other options then please contact me first before bidding. Good luck and I look forward to seeing a new home for this machine and showing you how to use a RepRap 3D printer when you win! |
