So Josh is planning on getting a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood for the quadcopter. we are going to have a large amount of left overs so I think it would be fun to use it. I also want to learn how to use the 3d printer so I think this project is a good learning experience. It would also be nice for stem to have there own 3d printer. If we break it we can fix it right? If nobody wants to jump on this I could drop some cash on it, i've always wanted a 3d printer.

I think we really should make a printrbot, they are cheap and they work. The way things are going with the schools 3d printers, this might be the only way to use a 3d printer. Also, if we make a filament extruder, we can buy plastic pellets and make are own filament. This will save a great deal of money and we can also recycle prints if we were to make a mistake. These printrbot's start with a 8" by 8" by 8" print area but could easily be upgraded to print well over 3' by 3' by 3'

I think this is going to be my big project over spring break. I am going to get some 1/4 inch plywood and cut it out on the scroll saw. I am going to make a part assembly in autodesk inventor and post it as soon as I can. If anybody is wondering what the finished printer will look like, here is a image to give you an idea.

If an admin could move this thread to the general discussion, that would be awesome.
