Description

A systematic guide consisting of over 100 recipes which focus on helping you understand the process of 3D printing using RepRap machines. The book aims at providing professionals with a series of working recipes to help make their fuzzy notions into real, saleable projects/objects using 3D printing technology. This book is for novice designers and artists who own a RepRap-based 3D printer, have fundamental knowledge of its working, and who desire to gain better mastery of the printing process. For the more experienced user, it will provide a handy visual resource, with side-by-side comparisons of the two most popular slicers, Skeinforge and Slic3r. A basic understanding of designing and modeling principles and elementary knowledge of digital modeling would be a plus.

I agree that this book is a super collection of practical experience. Richard has compiled an easy to use and "get to the point" series of recipes on many aspects of RepRap and 3D printing. He has made valuable use of detailed photographs depicting before and after effects of tweaking parameters to get your printing process really cooking (no pun intended).

For those who got a 3D printer and then thought "now what?" - this book is for you.This is a great introduction to creating really great content for 3D printing. The book offers numerous detailed exercise to familiarize the reader with some of the tools that can be used for creating 3D models for printing. Best of all - most of these tools are absolutely free. The exercises are detailed and easy to understand, even for a techie novice. Great way to get up and running with your 3D printer.

RepRap Cookbook is not, as the title might suggest, about building a RepRap styled printer. It is abouty using a repRap styped 3D printer. It starts with creating a 3D model using 123D Catch and then cleaning up, fixing, optimizing for 3D printing, and then printing a model using a variety of software. The range of software covered is impressive. It's a comprehensive snapshot of the tools and techniques that 3D printing hobbyists are using these days and an excellent place to start if you're a beginner. It's especially relevant if you're using an Ardunio based RepRap styled printer like a Lulzbot or any of the kickstarters out there, but it's also relevant for other machines as well.
