3/30/16 3D printing A-term

Today, we got both of the Reprap Prusa i3 printers to print a non-distorted cube. Of course, a lot of calibration needs to be done before we can begin printing more complicated things such as triangular prisms (So how was that jab at humor? Wait, where are you going!?)

The Delta printer continues to have some issues with printing, so we are working diligently to fix these issues befor Friday. We have attempted multiple prints, and each one gives us new calibration issues. Every time an issue is fixed, another four take its place (like Valve game balance patches).

Overall, things are going well and the printers are nearly finished. Now that we know all the printers can print, the focus will likely shift to design software. One thing is certain, though, we will be printing multiple different miscellaneous objects for our upcoming presentation and for our own amusement.
