I have printed all of the parts to make the first Polyformer in Rwanda. Big thank-you to Tresor and T Squared robotics for letting my hijack their lab to build these machines: .

Originally, I was supposed to print the Polyformer pieces in ABS. I actually brought four spools of ABS all the way from California for this explicit purpose. Unfortunately, Kigali is extremely humid and the ABS is not printing well in this environment. The prints won't stick to the bed while printing or at the very least it warps. So I ended up buying PLA filament locally here to print out the pieces. That 53,000 RWF per roll 😢 (for now mwahahahaha)
