So, how do one start out one of these blog things? How about a historical event?
I hereby present Aida - my RepRap Mendel - and the first output she produced that did something else than not stick to the platform.
Hi to everyone on #reprap. Thanks a lot guys, wouldn't and couldn't have reached this RepRap milestone without you!
So, why am I starting up this blog thing anyway? I have a fever, and the only cure is MORE REPRAP. So I went to my doctor and told him, and he gave me a RepRap Prescription. How's that for a blog intro? *insert wacky smiley face*
A proper introduction to Aida is appropriate, and is in the works, meaning I have not even started writing it.
Have fun, all my fellow reprappers, and everyone else.

About how long did it take you to get from having your mendel all assembled to having a successful print?
SvarSlettSorry, didn't see your comment before.
SvarSlettIt all came down to mainly getting the plastic to stick properly and understand the software. But I believe it took two days from I did my first test extrusion until I had the first object print adequately.
This was about 4 months from when I got the plastic parts, and that includes 2 weeks lost from waiting for other parts to arrive, and 4+ weeks lost due to moving.
Still working on a reliable extruder though. :-)
