Over the last weeks, we have been looking at 3D printing. From the origins in the RepRap project, through various commercially available kits. We’ve also been looking at the work flow involved, as well as the tools and sites.
Over the weeks, various topics have been discussed. The following links refer to the articles, divided into topics.
In parallel, the construction of my own eMaker Huxley can be followed through the eMaker Huxley category.

There is also the series of entries from my very own build of an eMaker Huxley found here.
