Graber i3 Day 4:

Graber i3 Day 4: almost done with the three axes

Really like the mdf finish. Mind you I think he acrylic looks nice too!

Acrylic is very nice, but easy to crack during assembling.

Yes, we have a few cracks on the x motor carriage.

Have anyone to try to build this model in aluminium? Is one of my future projects… But I’m afraid of the weight…

Not yet :wink:

@Juan_Gaviria I know someone at some point did, but I can’t remember who…

I saw one guy how builds one in aluminium in reprap forum… But was not yet functional… And no feefback related to weigh…
I love this model (the one that Kurt is working on… Is great) but I cannot do it in other material than aluminium…
If someone have any new… I will appreciate it a lot

@Juan_Gaviria I think I saw a Polish guy reporting one not only in aluminum but welded… There: http://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic2620561.html
