Choose a controller board: R2C2 – Single board design RAMPS – RepRap Arduino Mega Polulu Shield Sanguinololu – single board design based on arduino
The a lumin ium f rame provides a stable printer frame

8 Imagine in a new dimension – 3D Printing
• You can find the part list and instructions to assemble a Prusa I3 model here
• http://reprap.org/wiki/Prusa_i3_Build_Manual
• The best deals on bearings, power supply, heat-bed, nozzle… are found on ebay
• You can find complete printer kits already packed in many online shops
• www.3dprinters-shop.com
How to do your 3D objects?
9
• There exist several applications that you can use to design 3D models:
• Solidworks • Autocad • Sketchup • Autodesk 123D • Blender • FreeCAD
In Hack-a-Day blog you can find thorough introduction tutorials for each of the cited applications
Just google:
“Hackaday 3D Printering: Making a Thing”

An example
3D design for “normal” people
11 Imagine in a new dimension – 3D Printing
• Some other tools can be used to quickly turn an idea into a 3D model
• They already provide several 3D model templates as numbers letters and common geometric figures
• Web browser based • Very intuitive

Online repositories
12 Imagine in a new dimension – 3D Printing
• You can find lots of interesting 3D designs available in online communities
• www.thingiverse.com - is the largest community
• Due to problems related with the uploaded designs ownership new services for sharing 3D designs and projects are emerging
• www.thingtracker.net/ • www.youmagine.com/
