I'm building a RepRap Huxley, printing parts on the HackLab's Makerbot.

Components

  • Extruder/Hot End: Universal Mini Extruder modified for bowden cable
  • Electronics: Sanguinololu

Status

  • 2011-12-04: Printed all components for the extruder other than the fixed block. The duct-1 component failed 95% through the print, I think it should be okay as-is, but if not a separate extension piece could probably be added. Decided on Sanguinololu electronics, ordered 1x NEMA11 stepper, 3x NEMA14 steppers, and Pololu stepper drivers from Pololu. Still need to order Sanguinololu itself.
