Details
Unit Zero is a TechZone LaserCut Mendel Repstrap. It currently prints PLA using a modified accessible Wade's Extruder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6713, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7700) along with Herringbone gears (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5111). It has printed one functioning child, Unit One, and several sets of parts, and continues printing to bootstrap other systems. In March/April 2011, the wooden y-axis was replaced with a modified open-y axis with assistance from Eric B. In May 2011, the TechZone supplied Wade's extruder was adapted to its current design.
