Thing-O-Matic Buildathon

Today a few people got together at the AS220 and worked on building a Thing-O-Matic for the lab and we got it all assembled only to find that the X,Y,Z axises were not hooked up right. However the extruder worked fine which is always a great thing! Usually the first extruder test is a bad one however today it was an absolute success! Along with doing that today we also worked on cutting out more Utilimaker Parts! We also ended up cutting the Durlin Pieces today. Now we are getting to the point where we are going to buy some electronics! We also met up someone today who thinks that our ideas are not crazy, but he is actually attempting building a 3D printer about the same dementions as ours! However he is only taking a few of the designs from Utilimaker and the rest are all concepts that he has developed on his own! I know we sure can't wait to get them all put together so we can compare notes!
