the price of a cheap print, is it affordable?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:01:33 +0000

Hi folks, this is my first post, my question is; what is the lowest price to print something,
say, something the size of a professional camera with lens, no inside parts, just an exterior,
lots of small poly's and surface's thought… so, what can I espect the price to be?
just a general figure, no need for any exact numbers here, the main question is; is it affordable?

By the way, I am a painter and sculptor, all art here, no working models or maquettes :)
just cool forms and shapes

Thx in advance

RepRap 1.0

I think that RepRap has a nice base of users, but needs to think out of the small little comfort zone they are sealed in currently.

A new horizon

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:10:42 +0000

Alright. There are a number of things I have noticed about my sites. One: No one is on them. Two: They are filled with cobwebs. Three: They are collecting dust.

When Tehraptor first created the Rapid Prototyping Wiki for me, I never realized it needed to be updated for info to flow, or how important it is to DOCUMENT INFORMATION. Now I have the Rapid Prototyping Wiki, and Tech-DIY. They have both been Idle, collecting dust in a corner. I have a new horizon for this wiki. Of course, I cannot do this alone. I will work a little in the forum, and add a ton of new info. Anyone else, please help me out!!!

Also please note: If I can get these sites cleaned up, I will officially release the Helix 1.2 for other people to build. That will also speed up reasearch. I will sell the parts online, besides the reprap electronics, and use the profits for development. Helix 2.0 Automata is nearer than I thought.

I now have a feed of the RP Wiki Forum / Wiki changes / posts on my personal wiki so anything you do I'll notice it and probably come by to help.

So, what do you all think of the Helix? I of course love it, because I am indeed the guy that created it…

Plastic Bottles

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:36:36 +0000

I have found quite a few bottles around my house to be different plastics. The most common is HDPE (High Density Polyethlene). It is on a Dove Soap bottle. This plastic seems to be very strong.

Organization

Please look at this page. I've created it to help streamline the wiki. I'll be working on it daily. Edit at will.

rapid freeze prototyping systems

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 06:30:24 +0000

What is a "rapid freeze prototyping system"?

I'll take a guess, given what I've learned so far. :)

Is a rapid-freeze prototyping system a water-based rapid prototyper that drips water which rapidly freezes?

Developmental Topics

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:10:59 +0000

Is there a way to hide forum topics? If we get enough users, I think it is a good idea to hide the topics away (for memories), because not many people want to chat about themes, page tags, and topics(except admins). These are for development.

Official Re-Launch

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:28:52 +0000

This saturday is the official relaunch of this wiki, which has pretty much died.

Here are some announcements:

The Helix is almost finished and working!
New ideas are being researched for rapidprototyping. these were delayed for a while by budget issues, but no more!

Yogurt

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:27:15 +0000

I was just at the Tech DIY (no forum?) and saw your Yogurt page. I don't understand your hypothesis : "We mix yogurt with milk, right?" Er… what does this mean? How do you plan on making yogurt?

Tag like the Wind!

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:45:26 +0000

Please take a bit this week to tag everything. Tag like the wind! It's essential to help your readers navigate to pages they might otherwise not find — and it will help me get around while I'm here.

Well, that's it for this week.

Your Start Page

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:31:02 +0000

Your start page is an 'effin disaster. The bounce rate is absolutely horrid, but it's down 7% since I added the topic links. When someone lands on your start page they look it at first rather than side nav or top nav. You might want to put some thought into what someone who doesn't know anything about rapid prototyping wants to know and create a "getting started" section that introduces someone to both Rapid Prototyping and the wiki itself.
