Alex, ¿como vais de links en cuanto a la parte quimica de la RepRap? esto es, productos que se pueden usar, y en que tiendas comprarlos (Riesgo, Barquillo, Gilca, etc)
A mi me vendria bien algo de dos fases, que endurezca al mezclar y no por temperatura.

Hi Alejandro,
Here are some links from RepRap wiki concerning the chemical process used on the Fabbing machine we’re building:
http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/Polymorph#Chemical_Information Polymorph chemical information
http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/HDPE Thermoplastic used in RepRap, melting point at 110°C
http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepRapOneDarwinThermoplastExtruder RepRap Extruder
The explanations gave on the wiki seems pretty basic, perfect for chemical beginners like me
I don’t know yet where to get all these parts, I used to go in a small shop at Toulouse, and you can get most of RepRap parts on http://parts.rrrf.org/.
If you’re interested building a RepRap too, we could group-buy some electronics on http://www.mouser.com for cheaper transport fees.
