John Pickens
John is a Biologist working in the Laboratory Robotics industry. In his spare time he builds 3D printers for fun and profit. He is using his printers to replicate parts for otherwise obsolete laboratory equipment.
Come see this home-built Delta FDM 3D printer, and help develop the new Machinekit LinuxCNC controlled version. A Beaglebone Black sporting a new CRAMPS shield will allow Delta printers to achieve speeds and resolutions previously unattainable.
What inspired you to make this project?:
The need to be able to repair and recycle old equipment with broken parts.
