Welcome!

Welcome to the State College RepRap User's Group Wiki!

  • Our meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 7pm at The Make Space, downtown in the alley behind Green Bowl and the Frasier Street garage.
  • Thank you for visiting our page. We are a group of RepRap users based out of Penn State & the State College area. We participate in designing 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. We also are developing the RepRap Mullis as a low-cost laboratory robot capable of preforming DNA amplification via a polymerase chain reaction.
  • 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!

Printiverse

A picture of the Printiverse homepage.

Printiverse is the website for the 3D printing service hosted here at Penn State where students and faculty can submit orders for their designs to be 3D printed. In addition the website also contains a database of the prints that have been completed as well.

Submission Process

All order submissions go through a four step process known as; Pending, Approved, In Progress, and Complete.

  • Pending: The designs are simply in the queue waiting to be evaluated by the print service to see if it passes specifications, if specifications are not passed the designer is informed of design problems and encouraged to resubmit.
  • Approved: Once past inspections the designs are in a queue waiting to be assigned a member of the print service team.
  • In Progress: A member of the print service team has been assigned to print the submission and it is being printed by one of the machines.
  • Complete: The submission is printed and ready for pickup, in addition the Printiverse database is updated with a picture and relevant information.


Electronics & Software

  • All information about our electronics including firmware that we use can be found here.
  • Anything and everything that deals with software will be here eventually. (WIP)
