Converted Auto Pipetter to 3D Printer by runninfarmer

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

I got a great deal on an old 3-axis lab instrument, which was an automatic pipetter. The machine is a Beckman Biomek Workstation 1000. I stripped it of the old nonsense and added some of my own brackets. It came with 1.8 degree steppers that I was able to reuse and also a couple great lead screws! I used the same linear bearing system on the machine. I've posted the .stls . The print volume of this machine is huge (220mm x 260mm x 200mm)!
Here's a video of the first print: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naGOSmpYzQQ&feature=youtu.be

I've published the bowden extruder that's currently on the machine here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:581170
