So I’m without the RepStrap until Thursday or Friday, and have time to post to the blog while waiting for pizza. \ud83d\ude42 This blog post will mainly be pics and video.<\/p>\n

First, Saturday was successful in that I printed several parts for my Mendel RepRap. Some pictures of success:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

z-leadscrew-base-bar-clamp_2off<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

z-axis-opto-spring_1off. I need to try printing this on its side. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

z-opto-bracket_1off<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

z-bar-top-clamp_4off<\/p><\/div>\n

There were also less-than-successful prints. Here was one I was particularly sad about, because it was looking so good before it died (and broke the entire RepStrap, yet again). I’d rotated it in Blender first to try printing it on its back:<\/p>\n

Here’s a pic of all of the parts I currently have printed for Mendel (printed Friday\/Saturday):<\/p>\n

And another view of that “spring” piece, which didn’t print too well but will probably work:<\/p>\n

Video of those pieces, and of some of the recent failures:<\/p>\n

Now, a suggestion about unattended printing.. Don’t rely on a Rovio<\/a> that’s on the floor to see if your 3D printer is merely still moving. Once it’s done, you might see something like this:<\/p>\n

And finally, you know you’ve been thinking about RepRap too much when you go to a football game, see this, and think about a RepRap extruder:<\/p>\n
