| RAMPS 1.4 board from Lulzbot, seated on an Arduino MEGA 2560 from BuyInCoins |
My LulzBot.com order came in on Thursday, it was securely packed with bubble wrap and everything came through the mail in good shape. Now I have to wait for the rest of the hardware to be shipped on Monday so I'll hopefully be able to start building it next weekend. I'm hoping I haven't forgotten anything major so I can start building it right away.

I picked up a few back up parts in case I screw up my hotend. If I don't end up needing them I can always buy a cheap hotend and use these components to heat it.

Loving my LulzBot AO-100. Here are a couple tutorial videos on it.

Had a busy summer, I'm only finally finishing the assembly and wiring phase of getting the Reprap Prussa Mendel up and running. I do like the build quality and design of the budaschnozzle compared to a lot of the other designs I'd looked at.
ReplyDeleteI subscribed to your youtube channel I only watched the video where you compared 3 printers and talked about the pros and cons of them http://youtu.be/IZLwr53yxlI It was a solid video, the Lulzbot design looks like it's based around the reprap MendelMax design using aluminum extruded bars instead of threaded rod like the Prusa Mendel. It's a great design and one I seriously looked into before going with the Prusa Mendel for easier access to the hardware locally. The RAMPS electornics is so I can keep upgrading it slowly as my skills improve with the 3D printer. This whole 3D printing thing is amazing, I can't wait to see where the technology takes us.
