RepRap Masterclass | Fabmoment #5/6
27th of October, 2009

for the past two weeks we’ve continued casting the connecting parts of the reprap, as well as laser cutting the parts for the extruder. the cast parts that came out slightly screwed were adapted to be functional and we’ve started assembling the electronic circuits. finally, the first complete extruding axis was created.

      •    drilling out imperfect holes of cast parts
                o    machine: drill
                o    make sure the parts are fastened carefully before drilling

      •    laser cutting and assembly of the extruder parts
                o    material: acrylic
                o    laser settings: speed [3], power [100]

      •    assembly of the extruder axis
                o    first complete assembly

      •    electronic circuit assembly
                o    carefully solder the preordered parts on the print board

      •    finishing the silicone casting mold
                o    carefully open the silicone mold by slicing it horizontally about half way through
