===== What is RepRap =====
[[http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page|RepRap]] is a free desktop **3D printer** capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap can print those parts, RepRap is a self-replicating machine - one that anyone can build given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend...

**If you want to start 3D printing in brmlab, continue to [[mk2|Prusa MK2 subsite]] about our main, most user-friendly 3D printer.**

===== Have a problem? / Contacts =====

You..
  * :!: **don't have an account on brmlab printer**: please contact [[user:ray]] or [[user:yan]]. :!:
  * :!: **have any problem with brmlab printer**: contact [[:mentors#d_tisk|3D printing mentor]]. :!:
  * **want help building your own**: write an email to reprap@brmlab.cz.

===== Printer status =====
**[[project:reprap:drevena]]**:
  * status: <del>**working**</del> Move but bot work 8-). Service in progress. More on issue page.
  * set all **speed max.** to **70** (especially check translation speed), **first layer 30%** and **small perimeters to 50%** **check Z-axis** when starting printing !!
  * printing mechanics in nearly 100% condition (thx 2 [[user:axtheb]], [[user:ray]] and [[user:pborky]]), slightly broken glass but fully usable.
  * web interface: http://drevena.brm
  * **config issues - please check details [[project:reprap:drevena | here]]**


**[[project:reprap:zluta]]**:
  * status: 8-O **not working** - Undergoing maintenance (reprinting parts, maybe there'll be some minor improvements in the process)
  * **"quick-Z axis tuning" is needed** whenstarting printing !!
  * web interface: http://zluta.brm

**[[project:reprap:mk2]]**:
  * Aim to buy a kit of the current state-of-the-art 3D printer that should Finally Work™

  *  **config issues on drevena - please check details [[project:reprap:drevena | here]]**

===== Software a workflow =====
When you want to print first you need to [[project:reprap:Stlcreation|create or acquire 3D model]]. Than you export your 3D model to [[project:reprap:stlcreation#stl | .stl]] , this format is pretty much universal format for 3D. Than you open f.e. [[https://www.slic3r.org |slic3r]] with correct [[http://web.natur.cuni.cz/~ax/slic3r-brmlab/Slic3r_config_bundle.ini|config files]] and convert .stl to [[project:reprap:stlcreation#gcode | .gcode]] which is list of XYZ positions and amount of extruded filament. Than you upload .gcode to printer, do preparation and start printing. Everything should be nicely covered in this links:

===== Basic RepRap dictionary [CZ] =====
jednoduchý slovník pro rychlou orientaci

  * **X-axis** - levo-pravá osa
  * **Y-axis** - předo-zadní osa
  * **Z-axis** - výšková osa
  * **extruder** - to co jezdí po levopravé ose a posouvá filament
  * **hotend** - vše co je horké - jedná se o trysku, kovový chladič a ohřívací blok
  * **nozzle** - tryska - špička ze které je nanášen horký filament
  * **heatblock** - kovový kvádr do kterého je zasunuté teplotní čidlo a těleso sloužící k ohřevu
  * **heatsink** - zpravidla se myslí to, co spojuje zbytek extruderu s heatblockem, zajišťuje aby se nerozehříval plast ze kterého je extruder od rozehřátého heatblocku.
  * **bed** - "lože" - to na co se tiskne model, většinou se jedná o plošinu na které je vyhřívaná podložka a na ní je umístěno sklo, případně karbon
  * **bowden** - "dutá hadička" - způsob distribuce filamentu - filament je posouván mimo vlastní extruder a na tiskovou hlavu je zaveden právě pomocí bovdenu

===== Why do we have it? =====
  * Because many other projects need to make their own parts, and it greatly extends our ability to make wonderful stuff
  * Its fun to work on RepRap itself

==== Reprap User Group Czech Republic ====

Brmlab is the place where you can meet other RepRap users, build your own, ask for plastic parts or advice.

[[http://reprap.org/wiki/RUG/Czech_Republic#Meetings]]

===== Collaboration posibilities =====
  * Hackerspaces around the globe are also interested in RepRap having experience.
    * http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/RepRap
    * http://wiki.base48.cz/RepRap (base48, Brno)
  * Distros
    * ArchLinux - i've made few RepRap packages for Archlinux: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=RepRap
    * openSUSE/Fedora - packages available in openSUSE BuildService (home:prusnak:reprap) or from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/prusnak:/reprap/
