Still waiting on the shipment of electronics, otherwise things are basically ready to go. I should have a full kit of materials to assemble a RepRap available in a week or two and a RepRap that just needs to be assembled in a couple weeks. Currently working on video tutorials for assembly (I'm going to make this really easy). If you have interest in a RepRap in the meantime, let me know and I can have a kit ready to ship out as soon as the electronics come. Material kits will likely be around $600-700 (very cheap compared to a $10k+ commercial version). Feel free contact us on the contact form if you have any questions. |

Pictures have been added to the store for most the RepRapped parts. Kind of time consuming to take them all, get them to the computer, crop them, resize them, and upload them, but it's starting to get pretty exciting. I have done a little more minor tweaking to the theme to get it just right. Not much left to do on the theme. More pictures and content to come soon. |

I've gone through and re-themed the site. It should be staying pretty much the same appearance-wise, but I'll be adding gears to various areas,particularly the header. There is lots of content that has to be added, but the graphics should be all wrapped up.
We are going to go through PayPal for payment processing for now. They were really easy to setup an account with. The other place took longer and also charged more than twice the amount that PayPal did. I am going to be looking into accepting BitCoins to pay in a way such that when BitCoins are paid a coupon code is generated. There has to be a limit on how many though and it won't be available until things get going.
No pictures yet, but nearly all the materials have come in. Tomorrow I should be getting all the threaded and smooth rod. A number of items from one of the company are taking a while. Looks like I'll have to order from them in advance. I did order quite a bit from them to add to inventory. Things are looking good, the shop should be open soon. |

A number of items have been entered into the store. Today is picture day and we'll be getting pictures added in as well as more products that we have. The pictures will really make it look a lot better; right now it can get somewhat confusing. You still cannot actually order anything, we are awaiting a credit card processing method right now (just awaiting a reply), so just contact us in person if you are interested in purchasing one of our RepRaps, we will have 2 ready to be sold or shipped out in about a week. The store will allow you to go through it as if you were buying something. Until the store is open online, these orders will not be filled.
I've gone through and added fake stock numbers to the RepRap parts in the store for testing-

I don't want to put actual stock number in until the credit processing application has gone through since they will be testing things out. Once that is done, I will close the demo store for a few hours to fill in stock numbers, then re-open and you can purchase items online. |

Materials ordered to put kits together to get items into the shop. First items will be RepRapped parts, electronics, and hardware. I will add items as they come in and get put together. If you have any special requests, please feel free to send an email at support@gala-automation.com. A Credit card processing application also has to go through, need a way to pay right? :)
Once parts come in I'll be starting to make video tutorials on assembly as well. On a side note, I also offer web hosting services for very cheap. If you need a website, feel free to contact us. We can design websites for you as well. |
