Hi all,
my name is Craig Barbour, I am a 4th (and final woo!) year BTechEd student at Glasgow University. I am also building a reprap machine as part of my final year project. Unlike the Braes project I have sourced the majority of the parts myself and my parts are FDM prototyped instead of laser cut parts. I think Brian said on this blog that sourcing components may be more enjoyable and satisfying, it was but so troublesome I would advise against. (Royal mail owe me circuit boards).
I will post some pictures of my progress so far so you can see how it looks and the similarities and differences between the Braes kit and mine.
Look forward to seeing the Braes progress as well and sharing news, problems and ideas
Feel free to get in touch for any info.
Craig

What is the purpose of this blog?
This blog is intended to act as the public interface for a learning project which is being run as a collaboration between the Robert Clark Centre for Technological Education at the University of Glasgow and Braes High School, Falkirk. The project's aim is to build a fully functioning rapid prototyping machine which is based around the open-source RepRap project design.
The project team includes a number of S1 to S6 pupils at Braes High School in Falkirk who will work alongside staff from 'the Braes' and from the University of Glasgow during all phases of the construction and testing of the machine. The project is intended to be sympathetic to the aspirations of the Scottish Government's Curriculum for Excellence initiative by pursuing a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach and encouraging innovation, enterprise and reflection as key learning outcomes.
We would like to use this blog to promote pupil reflection on the issues that arise as they work on the project and wish to welcome contributes from anyone else who may be undertaking a similar project or who might simply want to ask us how we are getting on.
