Prusa i3 Workshop in Philly by botbuilder.net

[JohnA136]

After a short break to have a new baby and the holidays, my son is gearing up for another PRUSA i3 Build Workshop in or around Philly (dates are April 12th & 13th and venue have not been finalized yet). You come in on Saturday morning and leave Sunday with a working printer all flashed, configured, adjusted and already printing samples. We feed you and supply all the parts and tools you need to build your very own printer.

The frames are shipping in from Prague this week and most of the hardware is either in or on the way. We are feverishly printing the plastic parts. Will be shades of blue on a black milled aluminum frame.

Sign ups will start pretty soon. class size is limited. Probably not a good day to start this post as I am leaving on a Caribbean Cruise in a couple of hours so I will not really be able to monitor this for a week , but I will be thinking of all my east coast friends in the cold . I wanted to give everyone here an opportunity to be the first to check it out.

More info on the workshop and build can be found at www.botbuilder.net

Why we build Prusa i3 RepRaps? We find this model to be easy to build, has a huge online support system in the RepRap community and it is easy to configure & adjust, affordable, reliable and easy for both the first time builder and experienced 3D Printer. The print quality is extremely good and you can print with many different types of filament. We suggest everyone starts out with PLA until you get the hang of it and then you can move on to the more exotic types.

We only use high quality parts and hardware so we know everything will work well together and give you a lifetime of excellent results. We have our own Google Group for our builders so you can always get support and can share your experiences and tweaks.

If you need more information while I am away, you can email info@botbuilder.net or just check out the website.
