OggCamp 2024: The Printer That Took A Decade To Tune
Last updated: 12 Oct 2024 - 15:17
At OggCamp this year I was on the scheduled track and presented a brief history of my RepRap 3D printer on the main stage. The printer is over a decade old but spent a few years in a box. Actually I've been working on it for about 8 years now but I hope it will be done in the next 2 years...
I should document all this in detail but I don't really have time. For now you can take a look at the slides to see a history of my printer.
3D Printed Nativity Set

3D Printed Nativity Set: All the figures included, printed and then painted.
This is nearly a year old now, but by the time I finished it last year it was too late for anyone else to have a go, so rather than publish just after Christmas and have it forgotten I sat on it for nearly a year. I was looking for a small Christmas themed plastic model to put in home made crackers for family. In the end I came up with the idea of designing a minimalist nativity set which once everyone pulled their crackers could all be assembled. It all went down well with both my family and Katie's.
RepRap Part Replacement

Since my How Not to Build a RepRap article last year, among the many other projects I've been tinkering with are several upgrades to the RepRap. I've changed the pulleys, to reduce backlash in the X/Y plane, the Z axis couplings and lead screws have been replaced to improve vertical reliability and I've built a new power supply.

Actually I have a working RepRap now so it isn't all bad, but there are plenty (too many?) guides about what to do to make a RepRap, I thought I'd just point out the problems and mistakes I made building mine.
