Introduction

This is the page for the State College Rep Rap User Group's (SCRUG) Fab@Home 3D printer that is being converted to print a variety of biological materials. The printer was originally constructed in accordance to the original Fab@Home Model 1 design, incorporating the original electronics and single-syringe tip extruder. The build progress was documented here.
