Extruder’s jam in RepRap 3D printer
Some time ago I have decided to switch from the ABS filament to the PLA filament. This is how it starts 🙂 …
3D printed components for Quadrocopter
From a 3D model to a real thing – a landing gear for a quadrocopter
There was a need to create a new landing gear for QuadroCopter which would be lightweight and flexible in a way. With help came the FreeCAD. It is an open source CAD software which can be successfully used when designing 3D parts. Below in a figure on the left is a 3D model and on the right is the printed part. The part was printed using RepRap 3D printer.

I would like to share with you my experience during building 3D printer RepRap.
At the very beginning I would like to show a short movie which show how the printer works. It is printing some replacement parts which in the future will replace the old ones.
