My first 3D-printer build
An early attempt to build a 3D printer and learn the relationship between a mechanical frame, motion control and fabrication. It belongs to the practical foundation behind later prototyping work, when making a component became part of developing an electronic or robotic system.

Behind the project
The project introduced another way to turn a sketch into a physical part—and another set of things to troubleshoot.
My involvement
I worked on building and experimenting with the printer. This record is kept separate from later work using a purchased printer.
