This is a blog on building a plastics printer (aka a "repstrap" - rapid replicator/bootstrap), which I have decided to call FAITH.
Partly because that’s what I need to believe this will ever work and partly because I hope she will be able to reproduce items faithfully from their plans.
I want to post costs, vendors, plans, problems, errors & solutions, with piccies too & update as I go, so you know exactly where I’m up to.
Wish me luck.

Guesswork
I have cut the upright today, guessing its required dimensions. It is a piece of wood 38 cm tall by 4 by 4.5 cm with a slot cut across the top to accept the furniture leg strut I cut yesterday.
Background in environmental science, keen on making things work, from altering jeans to FIT, to cooking alternative cakes, replacing bad flooring, making a robot..
Getting there!
