i think lexan should work just fine, so long as you can cut it.

Are the CorelDraw files also available somewhere, just in case ? I couldn't find 1/4" acrylic plate but Lexan was easily obtainable in 1/4" is Lexan also suited for the job ? Thanks for the links!

I couldn’t find 1/4″ acrylic plate but Lexan was easily obtainable in 1/4″ is Lexan also suited for the job ?

Alex, These are parts for an alternative design that does not need to be printed. Its a bootstrap machine designed to get around the chicken and the egg problem associated with a machine made out of RP parts. Lenny, I'm not entirely sure... i know pololu and ponoko do lasercutting. Google around, or ask at the university. Someone will know =) Hessel, These parts are all located in subversion here: http://svn.reprap.org/trunk/reprap/mechanics/mcwire-cartesian-bot/ These are *not* the parts for a fab@home machine. This is a RepRap related project. DZero, I'll definitely do that. However, we're just not quite ready yet. The machine has yet to be fully tested, and I want to do that before I start promoting it to various people. In a couple week here when I get it up and running, then you bet I'll put them up on Ponoko. Hiya.

That way, it will accelerate adoption of the reprap project by making the basic parts easily available to everyone. -DZero You should sign up on Ponoko (http://www.ponoko.com/) and post the designs, so others can buy them pre-made.

Are the parts shown for the Fab@Home Model 1 machine ? Thanks, Hessel. Hello,

Don’t suppose anyone knows where to go in the UK to get materials laser cut to your design. Somewhere competitive if poss.
