Our RapMan v3.1

The GMU chair's RapMan 3.1 3D printer. This page's intention is to collect knowledge gained with using the RapMan printer. Feel free to edit the subpages. For any questions regarding our 3D printer or 3D printing in general don't hestitate to contact Matthias Breuer. The printer is situated in the 3DIY Lab.

Costs and Materials

We have two materials to chose from:

PLA, a bioplastic based on corn starch or sugarcanes. This is our material of choice because of its biodegradability. Currently we have white/ivory, translucent and green PLA available.
ABS, a conventional crude oil based polymer which is available in virtually any color. Currently we have white and black ABS available.

Approx. real printing costs are 0.05€ per cubic centimetre of extruded material. If you need to have something printed contact Matthias Breuer.
