BKMM
An experimental fork of the RepRap Mendel
I was a student worker in the Digital Futures Group at Pratt Institute, and around 2012 the program’s focus shifted towards 3d printing, with the design and production of a unique machine that iterated on the successes and failures of Mendel robots before it.
Built with:
Chopped aluminum extrusions
Stepper motors with belts and idlers
3d printed parts
Arduino Mega
Assembled in Rhinoceros. We don’t know how to use industrial design software (:
The BOM in 2013 was $1200 total
