RB.

Someone found me, 

and he serenaded my subconscious doubts to sleep.

He loves me the way I love others and that makes me hopeful.

Yeah! My RapMan kit arrived! Too bad one piece is broken...

My RapMan kit arrived today. Luckily it was much faster than the 5 weeks delivery time they had written on the web site. But there was an unpleasant surprise too: One piece is broken. It's part of the extruder and I can start building with the cartesian robot, so there's still hope to get a replacement part before I actually need it. Let's see how good BitsFromBytes' support is.

RapMan assembly, day 1

Didn't get very far. And I need to buy a 1.5mm Allen key.

Good news: BitsFromBytes promised to send a replacement for the broken part.

RapMan assembly, day 2

Another 3 hours of assembling my RapMan. And listening to Chaos Radio Express 138 "Basteln im 21. Jahrhundert - Die Demokratisierung des Produktionswissens" (http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre138.html). If you speak German, listen to it, very recommended! And for this current project this is exactly the right subject!

RapMan day 3, Z-stage mostly complete

Now we are talking! Finally I have something which looks like eventually becoming a 3D printer. Z-stage is mostly complete now. Still waiting for the replacement part for the broken piece, I hope it will arrive before I need it.
