JPT's Lower and Upper Vertexes for MendelMax by JPT

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago
I wanted to have Lower Vertexes that are easier to mount, but do not increase the height of the MendelMax. To achieve this in a single piece, I had to move the diagonal misumis 10 mm from the center. This requires new, wider Top Vertexes as well.
In numbers, its 10 mm taller, and the frame triangle is about 20 mm wider (in Y direction), but this doesn't increase the base size of the MendelMax
Advantages:
easier to mount
about 13 mm gain in printing height
standard 1 kg PLA spools fit between the top misumis
this design eliminates inaccuracies in misumi frame distance that come from X/Y jitter
does not interfere with the z threaded rods
no adjustment of the top vertexes, should match the width of the lower rod mounts exactly.
Keep in mind that the lower and top vertexes and the spool holder are a set which only work if you use all of them.
