3D Printer (FFF)
I have built a Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) device. This technology is also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). There are many designs and technologies to choose from when building or buying a 3D Printer. Perhaps this will be the first device of many that I am involved in.
This printer was originally a Reprap Mendel90 design, it was simplified by E.J. Bantz and others and provided as a DIY, but they offered a great deal of assistance at a group build event. See more about that on The Build post.
