Lever Pulley Reprap - Frame Complete

Well, after a few weeks of waiting for everything to come together, we have finally finished the frame of the 3D printer. The width of the frame ended up being about 396 mm, or 15 and a half inches. At the widest point (the two rods on top) it is about 22 inches. The rods are threaded zinc, with a diameter of 5/16 inches. The nuts used were also zinc, as well as the washers.

Lever Pulley Reprap - Parts Arriving

After quite a few months planning on what to get for this Reprap, we have finally purchased the parts we need. Now they are slowly starting to trickle in, with the plastic pieces being one of the first to arrive.

These plastic pieces were bought from Amazon, and upon initial inspection, definitely need some cleaning up. In my past experience with 3D printers, a straight-edge razor works the best with this kind of plastic (ABS plastic, or the same plastic LEGOs are built out of).
