Welcome!
Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki!
Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State and participate in developing new parts and improvements for RepRap and have created a new merging of the Mendel and Prusa RepRap designs which we call the Open Hybrid Mendel, or OHM for short.
Our project is combined with class offerings at Penn State, so if you are interested and attend PSU be sure to contact us for information!
Our Fall 2012 course is posted as EDSGN 497D It is 80% hands on build & test and redesign, but some students may focus on making models for design teams in design courses. If both sections have filled, and you are still interested in participating, please contact "nospamdbs198 atnospam psu.edu nospam". The contact email has been masked in an effort to foil spambots and ineligible undergraduates.
What's New?
4.19.12: Current students - Earn 100xp for filling out our faux-SRTE survey to help improve the RepRapRPG!
3.19.12: One of our students has created a program which can take atomic force microscopy data and convert it into a STL, which will soon be released to the community.UPDATE: the source and readme can be found here
3.01.12: The Thermal 3D Printing Video on the PSU RepRap YouTube channel is now officially live! It's a side by side view of a normal print and a thermal print - very interesting to see, especially in the end where you can tell on the thermal which end was printed last. Go check it out and subscribe to the YouTube channel!
UPDATE: To find out more about Thermal footage and how to edit it, please refer to this page: Thermal Footage.
2.29.12: The RepSnapper Tutorial Video on the PSU RepRap YouTube channel is now officially live! Go check it out and subscribe to the YouTube channel!
2.21.12: Printiverse is officially up and running. Check it out!
2.17.12: The PSU RepRap YouTube channel has been getting some updates (including a temporary logo and some custom channel designs), as well as its first ever video! The talk on the important and future of open source by Professor Richard Doyle can be viewed here. Feel free to visit and subscribe to the channel - more videos are soon to come!
2.9.12: Several groups have been printing the parts for new RepRaps for the last few weeks. These will be the orange unit , Yellow unit , and the Silver unit . These units will be OHM models.
Much work has been done on getting building Mondo .
