Their main differences are found in the way layers are built to create parts. …“A large number of competing technologies are available to do 3D printing. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.” 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. …“3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3.7.7 ATDNFAE (AnythingThatDoesNotFitAnywereElse)ĬHAPTER 1, INTRODUCTION What is 3D printing?.Please support the page, if you have some spare minutes and add a link that you think it is useful for the community.īy COS_ (Konstantinos Tziampazis). I think this page helped many reprappers and makers to enter the 3d printing world easily, without the fuzziness of the early years, where the information that is gathered here, was a privilege of the few, not because of purpose, but because of the very few information channels of that time. If you find and old link that is not working, please try to find a replacement first before deleting it. Under no circumstances can this document be considered complete. This guide can also be used as a portal to other links such as Thingiverse, Richard Horne's blog, Slicer-Cura-Craftware etc, Marlin-Sprinter, Repetier etc. This guide was firstly authored at OCTOBER 2011 and is updating since then.Īlthough it is focused on the Mendel Prusa model, I hope it may be useful for builders of other models.

Mostly this work is a ‘copy&paste’ of sites' critical info, links with useful material, and some of my experience. Practical to have some basic information gathered in one place, than trying to get fast and accurate answers in IRC or anywere else on the Internet, for issues that a newbie cannot even understand and express. The reason for doing it, is that it is sometimes more The incomplete RepRap Prusa Mendel beginner's guide is an attempt to gather in one document all the information about RepRap Prusa Mendel, that is available on the Internet.


Warning: This guide is for an older RepRap model which has been superseded by several new models and information may not be up to date or accurate.
