RepRap Masterclass | Fabmoment #8
10th of November, 2009

this week we divided the group into three sub-groups, so that we can work more efficiently with everyone having a specific task. one group will work on the electronics (rob/ron), another group on the extruders (elmar/arjan), and the third group will work out the frame (sam/steven/tom/jaap). the casting process is near completion, which will be an extra responsibility for the frame group.

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.

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.

this week we’ve focused our attention on ‘more of the same’, but also on new developments.
on one hand we continued with casting the poly-urethane parts and laser cutting the necessary gears.
on the other hand we started drilling out the holes in the poly-urethane parts that were accidentally covered during the casting process, and we began carving screw thread from the metal rods.
