EchoRap Rev1

The EchoRap is a simple and robust RepRap designed by Robotic Sequencing in Montreal’s first and only Fab Lab, ÉchoFab. It’s a low cost and simplified version of the original RepRap using tubes instead of threaded rods for a different geometry. The design is licensed under Creative Commons Non-Commercial, so if you have acces to a 3D printer, you can print one for yourself or to give to a friend. Files to print parts are available on Thingiverse.

The design allows builders to build it as a RepRap or a RepStrap.
All parts can be printed or cut.
Assembly of the structure is very easy: tubes and simple coupling.
The X Y Z axes can be enlarged using longer tubes and rods.
Current table size allows the use of standard Mendel or Prusa heated beds.
Gen7 Electronics, PrintrBoard rev D has been tested and works well. Other RepRap electronics can also be used. All the sofware is Open-Source.
