I am currently assembling an Ormerod 2 3D printer at work. It's a fun
project - we are not launching into 3D printing services. Not yet... :-)

About three-quarters of the way through the basic assembly.

I've never used one before and, other than the parts of the printer
itself, have not even knowingly come into contact with 3D printed parts
before. Now I have the opportunity to play with one, it seems not a bad
idea to start a 3D printing thread. I know I'd have liked one to
re-create a number of small parts for various things around the house!

They recently e-mailed 3D printer instructions for a spanner up to the
International Space Station. Much simpler than sending a real one up
by rocket! http://tinyurl.com/l9qfq6v
