20 Dollars and 5 mins

After a quick run to the hardware store droping 20 bucks on fittings and pipe i got this

Its the start to a McWire Cartesian Bot v1.2 Its bigger then i thought it would be.

Had a hard time finding the right 3/4 3/4 u channel . So going to search for that in the morrning. I did find 1.5 angle 1/8 thick which i didn't think i could.

Now i need to cut out the decks. anyone know how thick each one should be, i check the bom, and the build. all i can find is the printouts, but nothing on how thick it should be

A long road starts with the first step

I hope to document my progress in making a 3d desktop printer. There is an open source project going on called Reprap. this device will let you print a 3d printer. But theres one problem. You need one to make one.

Or another way to say it is did the chick come before the egg?
