RapMan 3.1 Review – unbox, build, print!
The Australian distributor of the RapMan 3D printers were kind enough to lend us a RapMan Version 3.1 kit to build, review, run some test prints and just get our opinion on the machine. After having recently built a Makerbot Cupcake CNC we still had our tools at the ready and we’re keen to jump into another build. The RapMan Version 3.1 is an entry level 3D printer and retails for just over $2,500 AUD.
RepRap Machines – upgrading and building themselves!
I’m not saying that this idea is new as it’s the whole essences of the RepRap project but this is a really nice video. Gavilan Steinman uses his old RapRap Darwin to upgrade the extruder on the machine to then get a better build quality so that he can print parts to make a new RepRap Mendel. Get it? Anyway just watch the video its more fun!!
Affordable 3D Printer – RapMan 3.1
The RapMan 3.1 was recently award the BETT Award for Best Digital Device at the 2010 BETT show – the world’s largest Technology Education event. Its great to see this type of technology getting so much attention from the Education industry and it makes me wish I had access to devices like affordable 3D printers when I was at school. By the time these kids finish school, affordable 3D printers will be main stream devices and a common site in every house and office…I hope!!
