RepRap-8

This is the base (RepStrap) design of what will hopefully be full fledged RepRap printer. It's origins where in my desire to throw something together that I could put all of my ANET-A8 spares into good use.

After the first prototype was assembled, I decided to use one of the 8mm smooth rods to ream some 3D sleeve bearings that I designed for my A8 to replace the noisy LM8UU's bearings. I then had an idea...what if I did away with the bearing all together and replaced them with slide rails...T
