Update 11-19-13

Hi everyone! It's been a while I know and I am aware that my domain is no longer registered. There was an issue with the host service and needless to say it is no longer mine, however I will look for alternatives to keep it going possibly with a different extension. As I am sure you are wondering, what has the RepRap kid been up to lately, well for starters school has been a big setback for me lately due to college planning and I also recently got a job which is also now taking from my printing time, but my dad and I are still at it! We are now working on getting duel extrusion on our Ultimakers. We have completed several upgrades to the extruder and have also tried cloud printing! Cloud printing is where we can remotely log into the printer using the internet upload a file and print! We have been using a Raspberry Pi with Octoprint loaded on it, it has worked great and actually helps us to get even better print quality because there is not delay in sending the code to the printer! Overall it has been a good few months for us and we look forward to another few! Oh and for those of you that are worried about the whereabouts of the massive Ultimaker, yeah that's disassembled in our lab, it is far to large to keep set up all the time but if needed we could have it set up in a matter of an hour or so! Oh and the worlds 3rd homemade 3D printer our Darwin is also safe and sound just waiting for the day that we get to place it in the RepRap museum and say that we helped this grow to what it is today! Lastly just wanted to say a thank you to all of my new Google+ Followers, I get so many requests and notifications every day, thank you all for that! Hope you are all enjoying your 3D Printing endeavors and until next time...
