Introduction
This is the page for the State College Rep Rap User Group's (SCRUG)Black 3D printer. The printer was developed and assembled by students in Penn State's Engineering Design 497J course and members of the 3D printing club. Our goal is to continuously tweak the printer until it is ready for distribution and sale to other departments in the University and local schools and businesses. This particular printer was transferred to Penn State's Material Science (MatSE) Department
This printer is mainly comprised of black frame pieces with a few green pieces mixed in. On the board Black is labeled as Black and Green.

Things that still need to be done:
1. Finish assembling the extruder
2. Finish assembling the x-axis and z-axis
2. Solder the thermocouple junction onto the electronics board
3. Connect all wires to the electronics board
4. Organize the wires so they will not be in the way while printing
5. Test. This printer has not been connected to a computer yet
