I personally do not use this. This is here just for principle of
completeness.
Description:
This is a compilation of the original Wallace (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14208 ; be sure to check out whosawwhatsis's github for the current files at https://github.com/whosawhatsis/RepRap-Wallace) and the Wallace++ M8 Edition (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45207) plus a Y axis modification made by Komb (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:37787)
The base is from the original Wallace.
The xend* parts are from the Wallace++ M8. I modified the diameters for the bearings to be a bit wider. I did not manage to get the bearings in with sponnets configuration.
The Y axis mod replaces the belt with a rack & pinion system for more stability and rigidity.
This was all printed on a QU-BD TwoUp with PLA.
I use the Merlin Hotend on the Gregs Wade Extruder Reloaded without cooling. The Merlin hotend is designed as a passive cooled hotend and the first print test confirmed it's passive cooling abilities. However the PLA needs proper cooling to achieve a good print quality.
The 3rd picture shows a 0.5mm wide wall-only cube. Left is 0.3mm layer height, right is 0.1mm @ 60mm/s (Perimeter). This was the very first print I did on the Wallace after I had calibrated all the axis and the extruder.
