We finally sat down and fixed some issues on the Mendel90, loaded the firmware, and did the initial calibration. It made its first successful print! A 20mm cube (which calipered 20.2mm). I call this a big accomplishment since I have been slacking on this printer since I started the RepRap class almost a year ago in February. Definitely a shout out to everyone that participated in the class, and a few others that really helped finish it: @thetazzbot, @hasbridge, and John
No word yet on the next RepRap build class, I’m thinking of having individual classes like calibration, reprap types and design, how 3D printers work, etc. I especially would like to have someone teach a class on building and calibrating a Kossel because of our track record of building delta printers.
