Here's a short video of the 3D Printer at work on a keychain from last Wednesday. Sorry about the poor video shooting skills. I'll let tupperck(?) fill in the details of the printer.

This is a Prusa Mendel Reprap that I began building in 2011. My limited knowledge of CNC machines made it a troublesome venture, but things are on the upswing thanks to a couple other guys at SC!

The machine still needs to be fully calibrated and there are some upgrades that would add to its' stability and print quality, but it seems to be printing reasonably well. Next up!: print parts for another printer Wink
I have ordered parts and will start building a Prusa i3 very soon. Any tips for someone new to 3d printing?
