Today seems to be a rather exciting one for new printers being announced. It also happens to be the eve of GE's 3D Printing Day. The latest printer, is actually a 3D printer kit byReprap. It's Called the Omerod.



Here are the Specs for the Omerod Kit:

Full open-source self-replicating RepRap
New 32-bit Arduino-compatible Duet electronics enable control via a web-browser
Wiring loom for simple plug-in connection – no soldering
IR probing for self-aligned printing – no bed adjustment required
Printing materials: ABS, PLA, 1.75mm diameter thermoplastic.
Build surface: PCB-heated bed to reduce complexity of assembly and to ensure parts do not warp.
Computer interface: USB
Build volume: 210x190x140mm
Overall size: 500x460x410mm
X-carriage: Three Z-adjustable deposition head mounts; one head supplied.
Standard nozzle size: 0.5mm
Accuracy: 0.1mm
Pre-soldered electronics with built-in microSD card slot for standalone printing.
Enhancements to the printed parts to improve the ease of assembly of the X and Y axes
Resolution: 0.0125mm
Building speed: 1,800 mm/min
Moving speed: 12,000 mm/min
Deposition rate: 33 cm3 / hr
Motion: Linear ball bearings on X and Y axes, Igus low friction bushings on Z axis.
