RepRap Specifications

Cabinet Dimensions

Height	50 cm
Width	50 cm
Depth	50 cm
Weight	10 kg

This figures include the EnvironmentalCabinet. (The EnvironmentalCabinet moderates the temperature of the extruded object, and prevents foreign matter, i.e. dust and cat hair, from contaminating the feedstock filament and nozzle.)

Thermoplastic Characteristics

Filament Feedstock Thickness	3 mm
Density	?
Shore Hardness	A 94
Shore Hardness	B 50

Note: This data describes the characteristics of a solid block of material. An extruded object is a mass of self-adhered filament, and may have voids, and may be more flexible or sheer more easily, in the same way that a coiled mass of wire is different from an ingot of metal.

Replication Rate

Thermoplastic Parts Weight	5 kg
Thermoplastic Parts Volume	"
Replication Time	Volume /depostion rate

Cartridge

Thermoplastic Cartridge Weight, Full	5.5 kg
Thermoplastic Cartridge Weight, Empty	0.5 kg

Power Requirements

The RepRap uses 1 standard ATX Computer Power Supply for power. This needs to be 200 Watt or better.
