Building the Workshop: our first 3D printer

The Wattreach Workshop line is printed in-house. Here is the day we assembled our first production machine, a Prusa CORE One, from a sealed box to a finished printer ready to make Airstream and Rivian parts.

  • The sealed Prusa CORE One 3D printer box, the first production printer for Wattreach Workshop

    It arrives: the CORE One, still boxed.

  • The opened Prusa CORE One box with the 3D printing handbook and packed components inside

    Unboxing, handbook on top.

  • The Wattreach Workshop assembly bench set up by a window with a monitor and parts laid out

    Setting up the bench.

  • Prusa CORE One boxes and packaging spread across the assembly table

    Everything out of the box.

  • A Prusa parts box on the workbench at the start of the build

    Sorting the kit.

What came off it: the Airstream stabilizer jack pad, drawn around the stamped steel foot on our own scissor jacks and printed in ASA on this machine, and the Gold Wing 50th kickstand pad.

The list

Hear when a part is finished

Parts show up here once they are designed, printed, and run on the rig long enough to know they hold. That is not a schedule. The list is how you hear about a new one without checking back.

Now check your email

A message is on its way with a link in it. Open that link and you are on the list. Nothing else gets sent until you do.

That did not come through with an email address in it. Try once more.

That is several signups from one connection in a row. Wait a minute and try again.

Email me when the Workshop publishes a new part or opens a print run. A handful of times a year, whenever something comes off the printer.
