In two days, I will obtain some funds to continue building the 3D printer. I must confess that I am excited.
This cash will let me obtain tools and materials that I need to work on this project.
As I explain in previous postings, building a 3D printer using recycle printers parts is like working with different puzzle sets, you need to build some pieces to put it all together.
Talking about 3D printing, I found an article in Linux Pro Magazine written by James A. Barkley about the topic.
Even do there is a lot of information on the web, especially in the website http://www.hackaday.com in which there are postings about 3D printing.
Since I use my blog as a kind of notepad, the follow are just some notes I am taking from the article for me:
