3D- Printer Project for Ham Radio by Curtis ZS6CMO
Model in this Project is the “Mendel Prusa RepRap i2”
Reference : Prusa Mendel - RepRap
Introduction
This was an inspiration from a fellow HAM David - ZR6DLG
Process
I was inspired by David when I saw the machine he had built and it was using basic items from a hardware store to put together.
He helped me to print all the items required to build the structure with his homemade 3d-printer. The printer he used was made from yellow filament and he called his printer “Bumble Bee” 🙂
The hardware is 8mm SS Threaded rods,(see Reference page show all Hardware required)
ED. Want to read all about this project? From hereon I will let Curtis do the talking. HERE is the PDF file describing - "How "HULK came to life". Do not miss this very interesting article by Curtis ZS6CMO. A big thank you to Curtis and David for bringing "HULK" to life as well as for all the information and images. Highly appreciated!
As can be seen Curtis is already using "Hulk" do produce amateur radio project cabinets. A great asset to the amateur radio shack today.
