I had a Prusa V1 for a couple of years and sold it this summer (bearing little resemblance to the original design by that point). I've had a Printrbot Jr. for a year and a half. I've got a customized OB1.4 (redesigned for 10mm smooth rod everywhere and dual bowden cables). I've also got a SmartRap underway... all printed and just waiting for me to get back to wiring it.<br>
<br>
Beyond that, in terms of specialized equipment, I've also got a Taig CNC machine, a manual Taig lathe, a K40-III 40W laser cutter and a Puhui T-962A reflow oven. Oh, and an eggbot which needs some loving before Easter. ;-)<br>
<br>
Sort of a self-contained makerlab in my basement. I don't get a chance to make it into the Art Engine lab and meetings very often unfortunately though as I do some volunteer work with kids on Wednesdays though. I found that I ended up playing around with my own designs late at night when it was easier to just start getting my own equipment.<br>

Roll call, who has their own 3d printer? I have had a Reprap for now<br>
more than a year, I'm working on a second one also.<br>
<br>
I'd like to meet other people building printers (or other hobby CNC<br>
devices!). I'd also like to know if anyone out there needs help with<br>
their printer, or wants anything printed (probably not since i realize<br>
the lab has a 3d printer already!)<br>
<br>
I hope there are at least a few responses! :-)<br></div></div>
