Felix 1.0 3D printer
Introduction
Felix is the IMHO the most practical printer for schools, since it can be easily carried around and since it has a very stable frame
Assembly
Assembly of the current model requires some soldering skills. Assembly seems to take about 5 to 12 hours depending on your DYI skills. The next version will be easier to assemble according to Guillaume Feliksdal, its creator.
Fully assembled
I managed to order a fully assembled and tested version, but the printer fell off a truck or something and arrived broken. Of course, a fully assembled printer is more fragile, but it was IMHO well packaged in a sturdy box.
The Post Office admitted mishandling, but that will not help me in the short term and it creates overhead for Guillaume.
The repaired version arrived via UPS and with different packaging and it worked like a charm out of the box. No calibration was needed, only the software had to installed an configured.
Soon I'll have it repaired I hope - Daniel K. Schneider April 2012
