-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.

+
+This is my reprap printer design, a derivative from Josef Prusa's i3 with the
+following goals:
+
+1. Replace the waterjet metal frame / wooden box frame with an inexpensive
+ and rigid frame made from standard 2020 Aluminum Extrusion.
+
+2. To make the build volume parametric (easy to scale up or down by 50%), with
+ a parametric BOM tool (spreedsheet) to assist in part selection.
+
+3. To simplify construction of the printer by reducing vitamins and including
+ detailed assembly steps as part of the design files. I've made an effort
+ to reduce the number of unique parts (nuts & bolts) as much as possible.
+ I've also incorporated single-piece Y ends that eliminate about 20 more
+ hardware items.
+
+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
+ (beneath docs).
