CDL could use these! As you may know, we use their space for our workshops and they will get good use, thanks! On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 10:30 AM John Heritage via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Hey All,

I have 2 (maybe 3) home-made Prusa i3 clones in mostly working condition that have been collecting dust for a few years and I was curious if VCF would take these as donations for workshops or others to use / learn from in some capacity?

The 2 "for sure" printers are ~ 8" x 8" x ~ 6" high build areas. Electronics are RAMPS based on one, and Rambo based on the other. Heated beds work well.

One of the printers has a finicky hot end (E3D v6) - it'll work for a while and then stop, and seems to require reassembly every time you change filament. It was quite reliable for a while then became too much work .. This printer uses 1.7mm filament.

The other one is my father's he's no longer using -- his has an older hot end, is the RAMPs based model, but he's printed many things over the years. Uses 3.0mm filament. This one might have a larger than 8" x 8" bed - I need to get some more up to date info from Dad.

Both are mechanically sound and have LED screens (1 attached, 1 not yet attached).

Will of course throw in some filament with these printers. I still have all of the arduino settings/firmware handy for these printers. I also have spare parts for these -- some extra E3D hot end parts, another set or two of ramps electronics, wires, etc..

Thanks..
