The need to change the system
April 09, 2012 07:16AM
Needs of a RepRap community platform

Community based (anyone can add, edit and change)
  • Quick overview of the different models, firmwares, electronics systems, extruder systems and software systems.
  • Overview of the costs + distributors + activities ( changes on github, bugs on github etc.)
  • Using API of different platforms (github, forum...)
  • The possibility to create and share new ideas, designs etc.
  • A good manual on how to build, install and use a 3D printer.
  • Open source system
Problems right now
  • Content on the wiki is outdated
  • Content on the wiki is not connected to other content (death pages)

FAQ from beginners?
  • What kind of printer should I use? (Printrbot, RepRap prusa mendel, RepRap mendel, RepRap Darwin...)
  • What kind of electronics should I use, what is the most simple, what is the cheapest? (Printrboard, Arduino Mega, Sanguino...)
  • Does ‘this firmware’ (Sprinter, RepRap 5D...) works on this combination of electronics and model?
  • What is most used? And what is the best?


My possible solution: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzdmnhTtAoYNzlE6akC5JV1xMHHo8qEmhpSiGZ09HJg/edit

Are there people who want to help to create/redesign such a system. Or does anyone have something to add to this idea, problems etc.?
