Petri
The Reprap Petri is a printer a photopolymer as input material rather than filament. It uses a DLP beamer like the [Lemon Curry]. It is named after the German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri because printed objects "grow" in a shallow glass square dishlike "vat".
The design features:
- Mendel like printed/treaded rod style
- Fully paramatic to be able to accommodate vat sourced at a random local place
- Be more “reprapy” and be able to print it’s own parts
- Using an unmodified, not permanently attached beamer (I do not own a beamer at this point)
Frame
The frame is based on printed parts combined with threaded rods. This gives it [Mendel] like appearance and features such as printability and local sourcing of parts.
Vat
For the vat I am trying to get square petri dishes. As petri (inventor of the petri dishes is related to biology and the prints are growing in the vat/petridish I decided to name my design Reprap Petri.
