First Parts Arrive

The first parts arrived this week. By good luck it’s the RP parts made by nophead.

They came very tightly packed in the box. I wonder if he’s written a python script for optimal packing?

All the RP parts laid out.

Now I just need the metal to arrive, and I can start assembling! However, I think the metal parts are coming by sea-mail, so they won’t arrive for a few months yet.

Intro

This blog will be yet another build-log for my Reprap Prusa Mendel 3D-printer.

It’s basically aimed at being a lab notebook, where I can document the process of the build, and any decisions / variations that occur during calibration and later on.

I’ll also use this blog to record various answers to other technical problems which come up.
