UK RepRap Master Class
If you’re thinking of getting into 3D printing and don’t know where to start, then we have just the ticket for you. eMAKERshop have teamed up with the Bath University RepRap research team to bring you our first UK RepRap Master Class over the weekend of 1/2/3 July 2011.
The format is simple. For a fee of £575, participants will be provided with all of the hardware and software, along with expert guidance, over the course of the weekend, to build and commission their RepRap 3D printer. There are other ways to get a one of these machines functioning, but these involve substituting cost with lots of time spent researching, sourcing and learning to get the best out of a RepRap 3D printing machine.
The Master class will be run in the RepRap project’s home town of Bath, UK, by some of the most experienced reprappers, including Dr Adrian Bowyer – the creator of the RepRap project, Josef Prusa – the originator of the Prusa Mendel design, and other prominent figures within the RepRap community.
For more information and to sign up, please click here. We look forward to seeing you there this July.
Nice! Wish I could attend! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea. If folks can get a similar class going in the US (East Coast for me), I'd be really interested in attending.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea. We could use some of these in the US. :)
ReplyDeleteI too would go to a similar class if held in the US(North East)
ReplyDeleteI just tried to book and it's already sold out :( (11:15 today)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's going to be a massive success and hopefully I'll get on the next one.
Good luck all and thanks again for making this happen in the UK.
Too bad it's sold out, I would love to come. Maybe next time....
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is actually a build class in the works for the US in the mid-Atlantic/northeast US region. If you are interested hop on IRC (I'm digiFAB) and ask around or email me at digifabindustries@gmail.com.
