YouTube video by Spite Driven The Magpie - Keeping REPRAP Alive in 2025

Somebody just made a new video about The Magpie! (It was me. I made the video)
Thanks to everybody who’s helped so far along the way:

#3dprintopia was incredible. Humbled by how many people had heard of the Magpie printer project, even if they didn't know where they knew it from.

Big things coming in this upcoming year.

I want to make kits, make other sized magpies, and really get the community involved.

Stay tuned.

Good first day at 3D Printopia. Thanks @lucychapar.com for helping out.

Thanks everybody that stopped by.

Leading up to 3D Printopia, I thought I should probably stop letting perfect be the enemy of good. So in the mean time before I have a dedicated Magpie mod site, I should make contributions and clear on github.

To that end, I've finally added contributions md file and a mods folder.

I'm hoping the answer is no.

The people at @west3d.bsky.social were nice enough to come by and take a look at the Magpie. If you're interested in a mostly printed corexy printer, go check it out!

Had fun today talking with people at the setup for #RMRRF. The setup was fun. I hope you'll come and see me at my table!

You vs the printer she tells you not to worry about

She's printing!
The prototype leading up to version 1 is looking good so far.

More changes coming soon!

Inching closer and closer to a version 1.0 release.

I have no clue how far off we are, but if this version works well, it may be time to push it to github, and start thinking about making kits for it.

It's cool to be square.

#reprap top frame fits together wonderfully. Very happy about it. The new frame design is surprisingly rigid given that its all polymer.
Go check it out on #onshape

Github updates coming soon

I said I'd be posting changes to the Magpie to github soon; I still intend to.
But I decided I don't want to make all 3 of you interested in the Magpie wait if you didn't feel like it.

It's a mess, it's disorganized, and only really readable to me... but I'll share.

New Toolhead works!

An unholy union of a Creality bed, a Bambu Hotend, and a Prusa Super PINDA.

Nobody should tell you what to do with your printer, so I've been working on my open source alternative to Bambu's CoreXY printers. These changes will be coming to the github repo soon.

Loving FreeCAD 1.0, but running into an issue with A2 + performance. Opening a project that was previously in FreeCAD 0.22 & attempting to use FreeCAD 1.0 to work on A2plus assemblies, it takes 20 seconds to respond after every click once the workbench is loaded.
