Interface in a shoe box

Today I had an interview with Jennifer Baum, a writer for ArtServe Michigan. They're doing an article on the Kalamazoo Makers Guild meetup group. In preparation for our discussion Jennifer was kind enough to supply me with some topics we might discuss and I jotted down some notes while I thought about what I would say. Here are those notes and roughly what I said.

Quickson Quick Start Guide

Assembly instructions for the generic Prusa Mendel RepRap are on the RepRap web site, but you should take a few notes about your Quickson brand Prusa. 

"Desmonda" Prusa Mendel RepRap

The "Desmonda" Prusa RepRap 3D printer will serve as the permanent lab printer for the Wixson Institute of Technology. Currently all the printed pieces of the machine are ready, and awaiting assembly. The build process is on hold pending completion of the build video for the "Hains" printer. This build will also be documented, this time from the perspective of an experienced builder, and will be more compact and to the point.

"Hains" Prusa Mendel RepRap

The "Hains" Prusa Mendel RepRap 3D printer. This printer produces physical objects in three dimensions by layering extruded plastic. It works kind of like a glue gun moved by a robot hand, with plastic instead of glue. Built by Kevin Wixson in the summer of 2011, this project was made possible through the generous support of Maryellen Hains.
