Show your RepRap Printers

Awesome Simon, that is one nice design, very neat clean lines. Have you increased the height from the Mendels and what is the print area?

Its a Makerfarm prusa, Build volume should be 20.2 x 20.2 x 18 (centimeters)

Btw how do you know my name ^^
Or was the question towards someone else, Unbelievable how many humans are called Simon :P
You should use the nickname instead haha :P


And Harball,
It shouldnt be such a problem, its only 1 kilo and its probably even better for the balance during printing, its probably not that Shackey anymore.
Btw it has 12 contact points with the wood, So it shouldnt be such a problem ^^

Not clean at all but it gets the job done with speed and pretty good accuracy. Can't complain except for the small build area (6in cube)

My apologies Simon I was asking Wired1 and I got his name and saw his printer from his link to Thingiverse in the post.

It's spooky that there are two Simon's in the same thread, maybe Simon Le Bon will post next haha

Wow, it's like a Dr Who episode where everyone is called Simon. My OB1.4 has a build area close to 200x200x200 depending on the extruder setup. Several other people have come up with better extruders and x-carriages now so I would probably use one of them if I were building another.
I have pretty much moved on from this printer now and am working on two other designs, one is a very simple printer made from 8-10mm acrylic sheet and will be a kit sold via a friend of mine in flat pack and the other is a one-off larger scale printer I am building with Misumi 2020 type extrusions and will have a build area of 300x300x300.
I am also associated with two different builders who are building very large scale 1mx1mx1m machines both running mach3 - it seems the way to go with bigger machines as there are a lot of CNC 4-axis boards out there that will run the larger stepper motors easily.

Seems like a very sturdy printer ^^

also as looks go you could make it pretty nice like black beams and orange plastic parts and a black or orange heated bed :P

Also i might be wrong but wouldnt it be possible to make a folding replicator from it with a few diffrent things? ^^
I just find those printers cute haha :P

But ye realy nice printer design you did there ^^
You should make a kickstarter haha :P

Edit: Just watched your video with the Red OB1 you made, Looked rly nice ^^

It's name is Jon because that's where you go to take a s***, not really, it does some interesting things.jon (1).jpg Just almost finished with some upgrades, so I can measure and control temperature at more points. It is VERY old, like myself, has a lot of problems with the design, I change them once in a while, but for research purposes it works alright.

I'm not so much into the actual printing as know about the temperatures, and physics behind everything. I have a sales site, but it is only to support research, don't really try to sell.
