NOTICE: This project is put on hold due to a busy curriculum. Whenever possible, it will be continued. Thanks for your understanding! AboutThis is a project aims to develop a special 3D printer made of LEGO Mindstorms(R) pieces. Inspired by the GNU RepRap 3D Printer (open-source based 3D printer) and Arthur Sacek's Milling Machine, this project combines both techniques resulting in a machine that, even though resembles the RepRap design, it drills floral foam so as to make three dimensional objects. However, LEGO, as modular components, make the machine hybrid, with the capability of placing a specialized extruder instead of the milling bit. The software is written in Java (implementing LeJOS NXJ API) Source CodeCurrent repository (@Google Code) is inactive. Please get a local copy by cloning the new repository on your machine. git clone git://github.com/MaR1oC/lego-mindstorms-3d-printing-milling-machine.git Using the MakefileType make help to get a list of useful automated features CAUTION : Still in early development stage PurposesThis project aims to motivate people in the fields of art, computers & design. Moreover, as it's based on the GNU philosophy; it contributes in informing users about new technologies. Scholar
