New Product: Sanguino v1.0

I’m really really really excited to announce this new product. This one was directly conceived, funded, and produced here by the RRRF as a direct result of the kind souls who have supported us so far. To get to the meat, the Sanguino is a new microcontroller board inspired by the Arduino. [...]

New Products: Magnetic Rotary Encoder and Donations

Magnetic Rotary Encoder v1.0

I’m proud to announce a new kit today that is the result of a couple of months of solid work. It is called the Magnetic Rotary Encoder, and it is awesome! When assembled, this board provides positioning feedback in multiple data formats. It uses a magnet, so there are [...]

Complete Electronics Kit Available!

I’m proud to announce that we finally have a kit available of all the electronics you’ll need to build a RepRap machine! This is a big step forward, and is something we’ve been slowly working toward for an entire year now. Each kit contains all the electronic components, and PCBs you need to [...]

Arduinos Galore!

Arduino Diecimila
The RRRF finally scraped together enough money to do a bulk order of Arduinos, and now we are able to offer them on the store. The plan is to eventually sell a full kit of the electronics with the Arduino included. That way you can get everything needed to build the electronics [...]

Stepper Motor Driver Kit Available

Yay! I just put the the last piece in the puzzle for getting the electronics required to drive a RepRap machine! With the completion of the Stepper Motor Driver v1.1 Kit, the RRRF now offers kits of all the electronics needed to build a RepRap machine. That means you dont have to [...]

Even More Kits!

With the help of George and Alicia at NYC Resistor, we recently assembled 100 total electronics kits! 50 of them are DC Motor Drivers, and 50 of them are PWM Drivers.

New Kit: PWM Driver v1.1
This kit allows you to drive things like heaters, fans, solenoids, etc. It uses TIP120’s which can put out [...]

2 Kits Forward 0 Kits Back

I made up a bunch of new kits today. Slowly but surely, I’m working closer to the goal of being able to offer a full RepRap electronics kit. Only 3 boards left!
Anyway, here are the kits:

Temperature Sensor v1.1 Kit
This kit allows you to measure the temperature on your extruder using a thermistor. [...]

New Kit: Thermocouple Sensor

I just finished making 25 of the new thermocouple sensor kits. You can buy them from the RRRF store for $20. The main cost for this kit comes from the AD595, a fairly expensive chip that allows you to easily monitor the temperature with a thermocouple.

2 New Boards!

I’ve been a busy bee over here at the RRRF. I’ve got 2 cool new boards that are very useful.

Thermocouple Sensor v1.0
This board provides simple, reliable, accurate, and large range (up to 1300C!) temperature sensing in a small package. It’s perfect for use with an Arduino board, or any other uC with an [...]

New Kit and Restock

I’m proud to announce that the RRRF is now offering a new kit:
New: Opto Endstop Kit
Okay, its a super basic kit, but its a good first step towards offering the rest of our boards as kits. Its cheap too, at $2.25/per kit. You can get it from the store.

Back in Stock: Extruder Motors
