Makerbot

Introduction

This project provides a great introduction to the emerging world of desktop 3D printing. The makerbot project will challenge and improve your skills in mechanical systems and electronics. Once finished, you will have a tool that will allow you download and build objects from 3D modeling sites like thingiverse, or even the ability to print out your own 3D CAD designs.

I highly recommend that anyone taking on this project read the assembly and wiring instructions completely before beginning the build process. The makerbot site contain detailed and helpful instruction, but are an evolving "work in progress", so to avoid confusion as to settle ambiguities, read the sections completely and also read through the builder's comments for each section.
