Come on in tomorrow to get caught up on the Clonedel
build, Big Red and the Seattle Maker Fair. The meeting starts at 4pm, but the room will be open
starting at 1pm. Feel free to work on your machine or hang out during this
time.
Money Matters
Mark H. and I spent a bunch of time working on the parts order for the Clonedels. You have options and the price range goes from around $230 to $320 depending on what you decide to go with. I'll give a breakdown with high and low prices. Keep in mind that shipping and tax aren't included.

Note: The heated build platform is totally optional. The
lower cost electronics can be paired with more expensive motors for more torque.
The in terms of power supplies there are some creative
solutions that can be as cheap as $3. We’ll talk more about the details at the
meeting.
Don’t be surprised by
tax and shipping!
