My3dP: main frame completed
I completed the building of the main frame for my Reprap Prusa: Unfortunately the z-stabilizers had too small holes for the nuts: when I tried to put them in the right place, I stuck them. Colin, MakerFarm’s owner, has graciously offered to send me two new stabilizers!
My3dP: frame triangles
I’ve just finished building the two equilateral triangles (29cm wide) that create the main frame of the 3d printer:
