Introduction
3DPrintMi combines the minimalistic, open frame style of the Printrbot/Wallace with the fixed Y gantry system of the Mendel. Designing for ease for assembly were taken into account and the printed parts are designed to be produced rapidly and efficiently.
I started off with thePrintrbot+ and printed out my first reprap. It was dubbed the "Mutant derived" Printrbot due to the fact it had an open frame style. Upon building the mutant bot, I came across a number of design flaws and applied the design changes to my second reprap. The second reprap later became 3DPrintMi and will soon be printing another set.
