I’m currently getting bits together for my first home built 3d printer. I decided to start this project quite a while ago going out and buying the stepper motors, but then life got in the way. Back then I was going to build a prusa i3 though since being able to focus back on my projects I notice that the fisher delta has been released. Which machine is better? Should i go for the fisher or stick with the prusa?
Cartesian machines are generally easier to troubleshoot when built. I would go I3 but make sure you find files with a very sturdy frame.
I am building an itopie with a friend now and we are milling itopie frames. If you would like a frame we could make you one. We are doing ours in mahogany, but it you need a different wood we can do anything. You would have to tell us how you wanted it shipped though. (We are near Boston USA)
That’s a really kind offer, thank you. Though hopefully I can persuade a mate of mine to cut an Ali frame on his works water jet. ;). Looks like the prusa i3 it will be then.
Good luck!
Cheers mate, I’ll document it all as much as possible. 
@Aaron_Spaulding those look like exactly the kind of printers that should be in elementary schools. How cool would it be for the GT kids to build 3d printers for the schools to use in the classrooms? Better than those overpriced Makerbots that don’t teach the kids anything about how the printers actually work.
@Nate_T I work in a local school with maker-bots. I would love to see some itopies in the classroom!
If anyone wants some frames please email me and I can run extra!
