This page is for information about the PSU Unit Black. This unit is of the Mendel/Prusia hybrid variety. All of the printed parts were printed by other units in our group. During the Fall 2012 semester, PSU Unit Black was transferred to Penn State's Material Science Department to explore alternative materials, in particular, ceramic-impregnated polymers.

PSU Unit Black - Current Condition
As of 4/27/2013. Mcdonalds is working well. Two fans need to be on when the printing is running. One is the large cooling fan. It is used to cool the extruded plastic in case of its warping. Another smaller fan is used to cool down the y motor. The only issue about Mcdonalds is the flatness of the bed. The bed is slightly higher toward positive y.
