Still waiting on some more parts (PLA bushings, RAMPS electronics, heated print bed and a few other little things) but the frame is built and is solid. Opted for the 'army green' for the printed pieces...turned out pretty nice.

I have been going to the Edge Digital Culture Centre since 2011. I have seen it change many times different faces different rooms and different pieces of technology. I have called this picture 3D printing a dream because with a 3D printer any dream is possible and the edge lets any one realize this dream by providing not only the tools but also the help needed. I will most likely see it change again but I know that it will all ways be a place that can make dreams happen.
