Power Supply from ATX
- to use ATX as a standalone, you need to connect the green wire to any black wire on the Mother Board connector
Testing
- Run the RepRap Driver test to check that everything is ok.

Arduino 0016
Arduino Sketch to drive stepper motor (from RepRap project)
- Download RepRap Firmware (v1.3) and follow instructions
- Upload sketch onto Arduino
- Now your Arduino waits for G-Code instructions on its serial port.
G-Code instruction handler
- Download and Install ReplicatorG from here
G-Code generator
- You can use Cam.py to generate G-Code from images (SVG, JPG, ...)

Sketch-up model:
- Would be great to use a color code for the different part types.
- Would be good to have a unique label for each part to help feedback clarity (e.g. Letter - Number, D-6, Letter=part-type, Number=instance index)
Mechanics
- Difficult to tighten bolts that are under axis
