 Reprap Wilson, 3D printer design
+
+This is my reprap printer design, shamelessly derived from ideas seen on several other printers, most notably the Prusa i3.  
+
+The main goals of Wilson are:
+
+1. To eliminate the need for a costly waterjet frame, or a difficult to make lasercut wood frame, with no compromise to rigidity and ease of adjustment.
+2. To make the build volume parametric (easy to scale up or down by 50%).
+3. To simplify construction of the printer by reducing vitamins.
+
+The repository has these parts:
+
+1. The STL files needed to build the printer.
+2. Documentation section where instructions and parts-list can be found.
+3. Some parts have corresponding OpenSCAD models which are kept in the scad folder.
+4. Various images of the printer/build process are in the images folder.
