Been a while!!

Having been engulfed in a project at Hertfordshire County Council for the last 3 months its great to be back and announce the sale of our first 3D Printer on e-bay. If you want to buy a fully assembled and tested version of Prusa. Hop over to here and get printing.

Our RepRap goes to Brighton Maker Faire

We are taking our RepRaps (hopefully we will have two by then) to the Brighton Maker Faire. The event is on Saturday, 3RD September, at the Dome in Brighton. Hannah and Malcolm will be appearing as RepNap and have hooked up with a guy called Daniel Soltis – who has a hacked Kinect to create a system called hand:drawn. We hope to be printing out 3d letters that people have drawn in thin air in front of Daniel’s Kinect. It is an artistic endeavour especially for this MakerFaire but who knows where it will lead!

Will 3D printing revolutionise manufacturing?

Now the BBC pose a serious question about 3D Printing.Will it really kill off mass production? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14282091

Our RepRap gets an outing at #RDGGEEK20 night

The level of interest in our RepRaP 3D printer at the Reading Geek Night event on 14 June was amazing. Malcolm and Hannah arrived at 19:00h to get set up. The printer ran continuously between 19:15 and 23:15 (when the Copa Bar shut) except for the duration of the two talks. Likewise Malcolm and Hannah were answering questions all that time- apart from during the talks. Hannah got a rest during both, Malcolm only got a rest for one…..

Quite a number of people expressed interest in building/owning a printer and at least 2 people who attended are already building their own. So, we are now looking at running a “Build your own 3D printer course” for the Thanes Valley area. The idea would be for attendees to buy and assemble their own printer as part of the course, with all components supplied as part of the cost of the course. If you are interested, contact Malcolm

Also, don’t forget our offer – if you have an original idea for a 3D print, tell us and we will print the best one for free.

Our 3D Printer gets another outing!

Malcolm Napier will be talking about and showing our 3D printer at Reading Geek Night on 14th June.

Our RepRap at work - 3D printing at its best

See our RepRap at work. Its actually making brackets to build the next one!




These are still early days for the 'movement' but we want to see what ideas you can come up with and we will print the best one.

Thingomatic v RepRap

With all the media interest this week about the 3D printer Thingomatic
I thought people might like to know we have our own! So if you want something printed in 3D let us know

This is the RepRap built by Malcolm and Hannah Napier
