She has been invited to the citadel for a summer engineering program. Very excited for her

My thinking is this will give me an opportunity to learn some about printers and their design and construction while also allowing me to provide her a pretty cool gift.

I do have a peachy printer on order but that seems months away and i've been considering what to do when i get it. I have plans for alter

But I've been looking at the tantillus. My first question is has anyone built one?

http://reprap.org/wiki/Tantillus

it looks like they have changed the design for lasercut parts and while cool i don't have access to the files

Now what i'd love to do is to build an sla printer but i really need more experience i think with 3d printers  my thoughts eventually are combining a Tantalus casing with an sla printer and the projector or laser at the top with a vatat the bottom. but i can for see problems with that as the print plate would be lowered into the resin.

sorry i may be rambling

but i've looked at the videos available on you tube and not foudn to many so has anyone made one?
