RepRap Masterclass | Part Seven
RepRap Masterclass | Fabmoment #7
3rd of November, 2009
this week for the first time we all had the feeling that we’re getting somewhere. we’re getting close to finishing the casting process and after only having horizontal axis so far, we’re also started assembling on the vertical plane. the laser cutter was used to continue manufacturing the extruders and imperfect parts were finished properly. finally we’ve gotten quite far with preparing the electronic circuits.
• filing out imperfect holes of cast parts
o equipment: sanding file
o the most efficient way to do this seems to be manual labor
o apply the trial and error method to finish up
• laser cutting and assembly of the extruder parts
o material: acrylic
o laser settings: speed [3], power [100]
• vertical assembly process
o make sure that the connecting blocks are at the appropriate position
o relative distances to be used can be found at reprap.org
• electronic circuit assembly
o carefully solder the pre-ordered parts on the print board
