[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

Sun Oct 30 15:50:01 UTC 2011

Hi Roy,

This is not something that is going to happen in days, aside from
everything else motors are likely to take weeks to arrive ( the supplier I
order from does not have them in stock, took the money though). We are
certainly not in a hurry. The next meeting is not till the 17th of next
month. If we a few of the parts it would be a fantastic.

The parts have been taken from here.

http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Prusa#Printed_Parts

The reprap communicably has given this link when printing on other devices

https://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel. (Blair please correct me if I have
totally missed the ball)

I really hope this helps. It is a bit of chicken and egg situation, untll
we have built one we are winging it.

You can if you wish register with goshg.org.uk and edit the post for the
reprap. This goes for anyone.

If this does not help, please let me know and I will ask people far more
knowledgeable than myself.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks

Kieran.
