[ale] semi [OT] Fwd: Re: Atlanta Hobby Robot Club - previous General Meeting : January 29th

Three of us from ALE attended this meeting.  Even though somewhat off 
topic, I thought there would be some interest in this, so I'm cross 
posting it.

Denise & all other AHRC members,

     I would really like to thank you'll for letting my give my 
presentation. As you can see I'm very involved and enthusiastic about 3D 
printers and Reprap! I would love to come back in 1-2 months to hold 
another presentation and possibly go more into depth about the subject. 
I also would like to thank Charles for answering the more technical code 
problems at the meeting.
     In two month We are planning another 3D printer meeting at Freeside 
Atlanta (http://wiki.freesideatlanta.org/) Talking to Denise, it might 
be possible to hold a little sumo base competition at freeside to 3d 
printed and non 3d printed robots alike. So start thinking about your 
design!

   If anybody is interested in buying parts please contact me at 
Robotguy at bellsouth.net. There is two paths you can take building a 
Reprap. A- Sourcing all your parts yourself or I will be offering a kit 
with everything you will need (Assembly required). With all of my parts 
I give a 90 day warranty and will always help you out with any problems. 
Reprap has given me so much enjoyment and I want to share my passion 
with everybody. I have been working hard on a folding Prusa mendel 3D 
printer design and will keep everybody posted on my research. This 
machine will have a build area of 250X250X300mm and fold down to 
400X400X200mm! BYO3DP ( Bring your own 3d Printer) anybody? I plan to 
release all of my files and start selling parts & kits after I have 
printed at least 100 hours with no problems.


Some links for Open source 3d printer:

Reprap.org           (Check out the Forum and IRC)
Thingiverse.com    ( 3000+ Free models to download and print!)
Makerbot.com       ( 3D printer kit and useful links)
Whitegatorlabs.com (Will be up and running in 3 weeks)

And here is a couple of my rendering of my folding Prusa Mendel Reprap

     Please contact me if you would like to know more about open source 
3D printers. Reprap is always developing and needs new minds in all fields.
Thank you!
