Some assembly required

Well, the bits have arrived.

Not sure when I will have time to make it.

Fun fun fun.

    Title got me all hopeful that this would be about ARM assembly language (or even x86).

    Picture is not nearly as fun :(

    At the moment it is a desk full of bits, but I'll do pictures as I go - sort of "Can you guess what it is yet"...

    Came from Germany and weights 26Kg!

    Looks like a roll of fibre there ... so it's your own CPE?

    They thought that in the office too when they saw it. No, one roll of ABS and one roll of PLA.

    Could be a big clue ... 3D printing?

    Well, lets hope I can put it all together and have all the bits - else it will be 2.5D printing...

    Where did you get the kit from?

    I was going to buy one of them last month, but my credit card company had other ideas :).

    When it's finished, can you use it to make another one? ;-)

    Apparently one can make a lot of the parts of a reprap using one of these. This is a slightly more up-market version of a reprap with some nice water cut metal sheets.
