the beginning of the school year. However, since most of the parts are from China, they took a long
time to arrive. The parts only started arriving a few weeks ago, but with the upcoming Maker Faire,
we decided we would still try to finish it up to use as our project.

We decided to make this 3D printer because we thought it would teach us more about 3D printing
and how it works. If this 3D printer works, we plan on making another one but this time we would
probably get the parts from the US and we would also buy the aluminum extrusions precut because
it was pretty hard to cut them by hand. The printer we are making is called the

One of the challenges we faced was the lack of instructions, so we had to build it by only looking at
