I apologize to my follower for letting these last few weeks pass without some new photography. Since starting this website 10 years ago I have added something every week. The construction of this kit 3D printer was the cause of my distraction. It was an unexpected 40th birthday gift from my parents. At first I thought it was a mistake. It was addressed to my dad and I would certainly recommend the RapRap Ormerod 2 to any retired person with infinite patience and a lot of time on their hands. No special skills needed to build. The kit has hundreds of parts neatly labelled in bags with step by step instructions online. The bags are worth holding on to for the piles of scrap plastic you are about to produce. Anyone who tells you 3D printing is a waste free manufacturing process has never owned a kit 3D printer. Once you start making stuff the process becomes quite addictive. I found myself tweaking designs before each print had finished. This was more often to minimize print problems as well as improving function. It is currently producing blades for our grass strimmer. Karen tests each one to destruction so I can develop a tougher design.
This year I received media accreditation to shoot the Byron Bay Bluesfest for Benz World Blog and will be posting music shots from New South Wales next week.
