RUG/Pennsylvania/State College/Printers/PSU Unit Black
|
This page is for information about the PSU Unit Black, built by group members Dan Sauber, Terry Zhang and Alex P. This unit is of the Mendel/Prusia hybrid variety. All of the printed parts were printed by other units in our group. During the Fall 2012 semester, PSU Unit Black was transferred to Penn State's Material Science Department to explore alternative materials, in particular, ceramic-impregnated polymers.
On the board Black is labeled as Black and Green.

Build Progress
This section includes the progress the build team has made on the black printer. Final Update
Things that still need to be done:
1. Finish assembling the extruder
2. Finish assembling the x-axis and z-axis
2. Solder the thermocouple junction onto the electronics board
3. Connect all wires to the electronics board
4. Organize the wires so they will not be in the way while printing
5. Test. This printer has not been connected to a computer yet
