I picked up a Prusa Mendel 3D printer from Lolzbot.com. I picked up one of these because I couldnt wait for the Printrbot from Kickstarter that should be coming next month. Definitely a little learning curve but its been a couple weeks are starting to get the hang of everything.

The first thing I made from scratch are knobs for my stove. I had 2 missing and 1 is broken so played with OpenSCAD designing it and it worked out pretty good. I need to learn a few tricks still on printing but my workaround made it happen. Ill post up some pics of the printer and some stuff I printed soon.
