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.
