The Stratasys is a commercial-grade 3D printer that was [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/a4088a8560511d67 donated to the LHS by Imperial College London]. It was repaired for a time, but is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment to bring the electronics up to modern standards and properly convert it to non-vendor-specific feedstock.

As the Stratasys is undergoing extensive modification to it's control electronics, material use requirements and printheads, the factory specifications and original instructions for use are unlikely to remain accurate once refurbishment is complete. The previous specifications and instructions will likely be updated at that time.

The previous specifications and instructions will likely be updated at that time.


Broadly, the only things likely to remain the same is the large 11x11x11inch printing volume, the dual-head extruder setup, controlled printing enclosure, and high-resolution industrial mechanics.
