3D Printer

Before losing access to the 3d printer at OlyNet I decided that I will need a 3d printer. To understand 3d printing more I chose the hard way to plan, design and print my own 3d printer. Huge thanks goes out to Mark Rehorst who provides tons of info about building your own printer and is active in every forum you can imagine.
