WikiNodes of our neighbors

• the Ultimaker wiki
• the Community Solidoodle Wiki: "a collection of community knowlege about the Solidoodle 3D printer, and 3D printing in general."
• The CandyFab Wiki
• Makerbot wiki using compatible electronics in small "Cupcake" 3d-printers sold as kits
• Makerbot wiki forum
• Bits From Bytes wiki -- supported by the people who sell the RapMan

• the ShapeOko wiki -- a completely open-source, low-cost, desktop CNC mill. The electrical parts (Arduino, stepper drivers, etc.) are pretty much identical to the electrical parts of a typical RepRap.
• "Make Your Bot!" wiki -- all of the design files and documentation for the under $100 Mantis 3-axis CNC milling machine. See also Mantis 9.1 and Mantis Electron.
• EduTech Wiki occasionally discusses RepRap and the things you can make from it. Hosted at TECFA, an educational technology research and teaching unit at University of Geneva.
• PMinMOwiki discusses low-cost CNC -- perhaps some of them could be easily converted to a RepStraps
• Fab@Home wiki: the other open-source, low-cost, personal solid freeform fabrication (SFF) system
• Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Project documentation wiki -- subtractive CNC milling. nice G code simulator. super-useful if you build a EMCRepStrap or want an open-source CNC Mill.
• Appropedia -- collaborative solutions in sustainability, appropriate technology and poverty reduction. Many pages mention RepRap, such as "RepRap"; "Solar Powered RepRap for OSAT"; "RepRap printing lessons learned"; "Mechanical testing of polymer components made with the RepRap 3-D printer"; "Open-source metal 3-D printer"; etc.
• pcb2gcode wiki: open-source software useful for Automated Circuitry Making, especially PCB Milling. [1]
• the Open Lathe Project wiki
• Inkscape wiki: Inkscape is a free, open source, 2D vector drawing application. Is there anything better for making and viewing standard vector graphics (SVG) files for lasercut parts, such as the LaserCut Mendel?
• HeeksCAD wiki: HeeksCAD is a free, open source, 3D CAD application written by Dan Heeks. Neil Underwood seems to like using it with RepRap.
• Blender's Wiki
• BRL-CAD Wiki: a cross-platform Open Source combinatorial constructive solid geometry (CSG) solid modeling system
• Plastics Wiki: lots of general theory on many kinds of plastic materials and ways to shape them.
• KiCAD wiki -- apparently KiCAD was used to design some RepRap electronics PCBs
• gEDA: An powerful electronics design package. Some RepRap electronics use it.
• Wikibooks: Embedded Systems
• Wikibooks Robotics
• Open Circuits
• Open Source Ecology wiki
• Python-on-a-Chip (can this run on the RepRap microcontrollers?) needs WikiNode
• the Reality Sculptors Wiki needs WikiNode
• Open-BLDC wiki is developing open-source electronics that give a better power/weight ratio than our StepperMotor and so might be useful in the RepCopter
• OpenServo wiki is developing open-source electronics similar to our MagServo that might possibly give a better power/cost ratio than our current StepperMotor based designs.
• Buildlog.net Wiki from BuildLog.Net where people document building a variety of DIY CNC machines including RepRaps.
• [Plotter Info wiki] "dedicated to information about all sorts of plotters... much of it related to DIY ... as well as things that are similar to plotters" such as RepRaps and Vinyl Cutters.
• Labitat wiki -- Labitat is a makerspace/hackerspace, FabLab and DIY-BIO space in Copenhagen. Often they discuss RepRap, PCB milling, and other CNC tools, etc. needs WikiNode
