Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago
This is my own version of the Prusa i3, based in lots of ideas found here that have been mashed up with my own.
Improvements over the original Prusa i3:
-Adjustable belt tensioner for both Y and X axis.
-Firmly secured endstops, with adjustable screw for Z and Y axis.
-No messing-arround cables design; Cable-chain guides are arranged all over the printer.
-Universal and simple extruder mount.
-Reinforced averall structure.
-Clever structure for the X axis; designed to neutralize efforts on the tranversal direction of the Z guide bars that come from the tension of the X belt.
-Note descriptive picture. Red arrows show forces due to belt tension and actions that result in compression efforts, applied on the X guide. This config avoids flecting efforts on Z guides (Blue)
.rar files available with all the components needed. (Z axis.rar - Y structure.rar - Y carriage.rar - X structure.rar - Extruder.rar - Other.rar)
-The extruder included is exatly the same as the Johnash's extruder.
UPDATE: Ventilation support for small vent added. Improved extruder support (V1 was affected by heat, now it's been reinforced and cooled down). Improvements in X axis structure and Z adjustable endstop system.
A .rar file, called "Prusa i3 IPI rework V2.rar" can be found with all the updated components.
Extruder can be found on thingiverse, same as the frame (sources)
