Overview
This is a variation of the Adoptabot by Printrbot. A small form factor, fully 3D printable RepRap machine. Being in the UK, some parts are easier to get hold of than others, so I have modified the brilliant little adoptabot to use more readily available Ramps and E3D parts.
This little printer is designed for your desktop or to build with your family, with no heated bed it makes it safer to use around younger individuals as well as focusing mainly on the use of PLA as a material, which is easy to print with and provides fantastic results for fun projects.
