Crowdprinting

Start with an image of what we are trying to print -

and new design-for-fabrication model of frame:

Let's take TAZ and prototype the above tractor as a scale model:

Introduction

Welcome to Tractor Stone Soup. Each person gets to pick a part of the tractor to print. There are 24 of you, and 3 days until my dogfood session at 16:40 on Wednesday. Therefore, everyone gets an hour of printing time if we divide 3 days (24 hours) between everyone. Please sign up for the time day of printing.

Steps:

1. Download the available files here: File:Shuttleworth 3D Printing
2. Download Slic3r to generat your own gcode printing files, and download the File:Quick 35 3.ini file for the configuration. Load Config before every print. You can omit this step, but you won't be able to select the number of copies to print outside of existing files.
3. Download Printrun just to print files from existing gcode files
4. Turn on 3D printer. Run Pronterface.py. Connect to Printer. Set temperatures (110C for bed, 230C for nozzle). Upload your gcode file. Print.
