Looks like a nice printer. What’s the name of it?

It’s a prusa i3 variant wilson TS. Fixed to a round plywood found at hardware store that just so happened to fit perfectly.

I miss going to the hardware store to build a printer

I built myself a wilson 2 months or so ago. Great printer.

Metric hex screws are so expensive from the hardware store. I just order my screws from http://mcmaster.com, costs about the same but I get 100 instead of 10.

@Eric_Walch awesome recommendatiom. When I built my printer I bought all mine at ace hardware and Lowes and it was like 20 cents a screw

Becareful with mcmaster… You will fill your garage pretty fast…

I’ve ordered a lot from them but never thought of screws for some reason…
