<br />
==Vision: Goal==<br />
<br />
The SmartrapCore is our second reprap model. After the wonderful experience of the Smartrap, we learned a lot about desiging a kit that is accessible, easy to assemble, still cheap but with better quality. <br />
We started from a coreXY base and made a design respecting our constraints: <br />
- printed structure (easy to share, to update and hack from a big community, do-able at home by anyone with a printer)<br />
- no special operation on the box is needed, only simple tools like a hand drill is used. The box itself is very easy to get and assemble.<br />
- GPL : no restriction, ever!<br />
<br />
We designed all of the printer parts in script (openjscad) with easy to integrate options like rods size , nema size, wood size, etc.. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Features (in no order particular order):<br />
<br />
*'''Real Reprap''': most of the structure should be printed, so it can easily print itself for machines. Only the common base should be bought at special shops (motors, [[hot end]], controller, LM8UU linear bearings, [[endstops]]).<br />
*'''Simpler assembly''': There should be no need for special tooling, ultra precision cuts, drills or even adjustments. The ultimate goal would be an assembly with no screws, where (almost) everything snaps together in place.<br />
*'''Open source!''': Since it is GPL, you can build it, sell it, make a business of it etc. Everything is fine as long as you stay under the GPL licence.<br />
*'''Cheap as possible''': Currently working with fishing line, printed linear bearings (not working well for me yet), and cheaper electronics (no heat bed, four motors, no fan).<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
<br />
'''Print size''': From 150 x 150 x 150 to around 300 x 300 x 300.<br />

<div>== Scope ==<br />
This is a log of my experiences in a first printer build. After looking at the various developments I settled on the Prusa i3 as a good starting point because:<br />
<br />
* Simple, well tested design with active development <br />
* Good build instructions<br />
* Plenty of support & community knowledge<br />
<br />
== Planning ==<br />
I did a lot of reading on the Wiki, Forums, GitHub and others before I made a choice. There is a lot of variation in designs so I wanted to ensure I chose something stable for my first build. I considered the timber frame initially and a possible [[Repstrap|repStrap]] pathway but I don't have a lot of timber working tools and needed a working printer as soon as possible and before I could get more adventurous so I chose the single aluminium frame Prusa i3 quite early on in my research<br />
<br />
* [[Prusa|The Prusa home page]]<br />
* [[The incomplete reprap beginner's guide]]- A good starting point and a wealth of search /inks/terms to expand further<br />
* [[JBFromOZ|EiNSTeiN variant]] - A nice build log that helped with selecting a suitable BOM<br />
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibBR7qQ7tVY|Prusa i3 build instructions]] - Good build videos that are helped in seeing how the BOM goes together in sequence<br />
* [[Prusa_i3_Rework|BOM and instructions]] - As the printed parts I purchased were based on this variant this helped in ensuring I did not have incompatible BOM parts<br />
* [[Electronics|Electronics variants]] - Ultimately selected the [[RAMPS_1.4]] & [[Arduino_Mega]] combo as a robust solution<br />
* [[A4988_vs_DRV8825_Chinese_Stepper_Driver_Boards]] - Electronics research around drive options. I went for the [[DRV8825]] as they seemed a [[A4988_vs_DRV8825_Chinese_Stepper_Driver_Boards#Comparison_table|slightly better choice]] based on the comparison to [[Stepper_motor_driver#Stepper_driver_chips|A4988]]<br />
<br />
== BOM ==<br />
I purposely selected the parts for my printer from the best buys I could find to compare the cost of a kit. All up I spent around AU$550 (although I have more parts than I require). There are some excellent kits for around that can match this price so this would be better value for money with less compatibility/quality issues if you purchase from a reputable dealer. However, if you wish to understand a lot more about the machine, like me, then go the hard road and use the mistakes as cheap training. <br />
<br />
* [[Prusa_i3_Rework_Introduction#How_to_get_it.3F|How to get it? - Printable STL part files]] - Printed Parts from Lithuania through eBay AU$44 for the set. Not sure I would use this design again as I have a few concerns that I'll document along the way<br />
* [[Prusa_i3_Rework_Introduction#How_to_get_it.3F|How to get it? - Laser/waterjet cut DXF files]] - I used the basic frame design and had 2 laser cut. AU$40 each. Not a good idea... see below<br />
* [[NEMA_17_Stepper_motor|NEMA 17 1.8° Stepper Motor, 2 Phase Bipolar]] - eBay purchase from USA. New & S/Hand for AU$6 each. OEM No: 42BYGH3903L-02. I purchased 6 to give me a spare<br />
* [[J_Head_Nozzle#Mk_V|Mk V J Head]] - Purchased from a local RepRapper who had upgraded to a 1.75mm [[Bowden_Extruders|Bowden Extruder]]. I also got his extruder parts & 3 rolls of 3mm filament<br />
* [[PCB_Heatbed#MK2.2C_MK2a|PCB Heatbed MK2a]] - This was also purchased from my local RepRapper along with a Mk3 and a sheet of glass. In total he charged me AU$70 for this and the Nozzle etc<br />
* I purchased a Chinese electronics kit for AU$69 that included: RAMPS 1.4, Mega 2560, 5x DRV8825 Driver Boards, 12864 Smart LCD Controller with SD slot, 3x Optical End-stops<br />
* 12v 40A Strip Power Supply $70. I oversized this substantially to keep it running well within its range as the quality was dubious<br />
* Other vitamins were mostly cheap Imported parts with rods purchased from a local supplier<br />
<br />
==Purchasing==<br />
The drives and printed parts were the first parts purchased.<br />
<br />
==Build==<br />
====Y Carriage====<br />
The Y carriage assembles as expected. Things that could be pondered to improve the design:<br />
<br />
Threaded Rod<br />
* The spacing between the threaded rod could be increased by a few millimetres to allow access for a ring spanner<br />
* There is a lot of movement, notably torsional that permits frame twist. With so many nuts there is also lots of variability in the structure. This increases the complexity of squaring/alignment for the inexperienced builder and will require maintenance to re-tension during operation.<br />
<br />
The Y Belt tensioner<br />
* Mine delaminated through the tension screw without a lot of torque applied. This is structurally quite a weak design<br />
* The ridges on the inside of the bearing support do not appear to be parallel putting a small twist in the bearing. The original design that uses washers to create clearance and insure the clamping is on the bearings inner race is probably a simpler design <br />
<br />
Overall, the Y belt tensioner... actually the whole drive leaves a lot to be desired as alignments are also very poor. It may be easier to use the 10mm threaded rod as the tensioning mechanism and perhaps make the tensioner similar in design to the drive end and mount across the two threaded rods. Even better would be to mount the bearing on the rod but this could further complicate the alignment issue for the belt as the increased bearing diameter would be substantial.<br />
<br />
Linear Bearings<br />
I have more Z movement than I would like in the carriage linear bearings. That could be accounted for a lack of decent shafting and poor quality bearings. Belt alignment cause exasperate this issue</div>Darquehttps://reprap.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Darque/Projects/DarquenedPrusa&diff=144224User:Darque/Projects/DarquenedPrusa2015-02-08T00:30:26Z<p>Darque: /* Y Carriage */</p>

The drives and printed parts were the first parts purchased.<br />

==Build==<br />
===Y Carriage===<br />
The Y carriage assembles as expected. Things of not that are worth pondering to improve the design:<br />
<br />
The spacing between the threaded rod could be increased a little to allow access for a ring spanner<br />
<br />
The threaded rod allows a lot of movement, notably torsional that permits frame twist. With so many nuts there is also lots of variability in the structure. This increases the complexity of squaring/alignment for the inexperienced builder and will require maintenance to re-tension during operation.<br />
<br />
The Y Belt tensioner delaminated through the tension screw without a lot of torque applied. The Y belt drive leaves a lot to be desired as alignments are very poor. I'm thinking it may be easier to use the 10mm threaded rod as the tensioning mechanism and perhaps make the tensioner similar in design to the drive end and mount across the two threaded rods. Even better would be to mount the bearing on the rod but this could further complicate the alignment issue.<br />
<br />
I also have more Z movement than I would like in the carriage linear bearings. That could be accounted for a lack of decent shafting and poor quality bearings.</div>Darquehttps://reprap.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Darque/Projects/DarquenedPrusa&diff=144198User:Darque/Projects/DarquenedPrusa2015-02-07T06:12:59Z<p>Darque: </p>

This is a log of my experiences in a first printer build. After looking at the various developments I settled on the Prusa i3 as a good starting point because:<br />
<br />
* Simple, well tested design with active development <br />
* Good build instructions<br />
* Plenty of support & community knowledge<br />
<br />
== Planning ==<br />
I did a lot of reading on the Wiki, Forums, GitHub and others before I made a choice. There is a lot of variation in designs so I wanted to ensure I chose something stable for my first build. I considered the timber frame initially and a possible [[Repstrap|repStrap]] pathway but I don't have a lot of timber working tools and needed a working printer as soon as possible and before I could get more adventurous so I chose the single aluminium frame Prusa i3 quite early on in my research<br />
<br />
* [[Prusa|The Prusa home page]]<br />
* [[The incomplete reprap beginner's guide]]- A good starting point and a wealth of search /inks/terms to expand further<br />

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibBR7qQ7tVY|Prusa i3 build instructions]] - Good build videos that are helped in seeing how the BOM goes together in sequence<br />
* [[Prusa_i3_Rework|BOM and instructions]] - As the printed parts I purchased were based on this variant this helped in ensuring I did not have incompatible BOM parts<br />
* [[Electronics|Electronics variants]] - Ultimately selected the [[RAMPS_1.4]] & [[Arduino_Mega]] combo as a robust solution<br />
* [[A4988_vs_DRV8825_Chinese_Stepper_Driver_Boards]] - Electronics research around drive options. I went for the [[DRV8825]] as they seemed a [[A4988_vs_DRV8825_Chinese_Stepper_Driver_Boards#Comparison_table|slightly better choice]] based on the comparison to [[Stepper_motor_driver#Stepper_driver_chips|A4988]]<br />
<br />

I purposely selected the parts for my printer from the best buys I could find to compare the cost of a kit. All up I spent around AU$550 (although I have more parts than I require). There are some excellent kits for around that can match this price so this would be better value for money with less compatibility/quality issues if you purchase from a reputable dealer. However, if you wish to understand a lot more about the machine, like me, then go the hard road and use the mistakes as cheap training. <br />

This is a log of my experiences in a first printer build. After looking at the various developments I settled on the Prusa i3 as a good starting point because:<br />
<br />
* Simple, well tested design with active development <br />
* Good build instructions<br />
* Plenty of support & community knowledge<br />
<br />
== Planning Links ==<br />
I did a lot of reading on the Wiki, Forums, GitHub and others before I made a choice. There is a lot of variation in designs so I wanted to ensure I chose something stable for my first build. I considered the timber frame initially and a possible [[Repstrap|repStrap]] pathway but as I utilise a lot of aluminium components through work and I need a working printer before I could get more adventurous I chose the single aluminium frame Prusa i3 quite early on in my research<br />

If I was planning on stopping at one machine a kit would have been a better deal... but I don't!</div>Darquehttps://reprap.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Darque/Philosophy&diff=143845User:Darque/Philosophy2015-02-03T12:47:33Z<p>Darque: /* Introduction */</p>

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
Below is a list of sub pages where I'm developing some of my philosophy around development, construction, community and anything else I feel could be useful. All my sub pages are sandboxes where I can develop text before offering it to the wider community in the Wiki. I'd prefer not to air my half baked ideas until I'm confident the logic is sound and globally applicable.<br />

<div>== Bio ==<br />
Hi all,<br />
I am a new addict to the RepRap world having stumbled across this project only a few days before New Year 2015<br />
<br />
However, I do have plenty of experience in automated equipment from many years maintaining, building and leading the development of automated mineral processing laboratories and their instrumentation. Currently I'm Manufacturing Manager for a small Instrument Maker in Perth WA doing everything from the hands on build to developing the manufacturing system, R&D testing and document development etc. In previous lives I've been an ISO9001 Auditor, Automation Project Manager and a Laboratory Operational Manager and have my roots as an Industrial Electrician.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although I've done a lot of leadership work my passion is building stuff, the smaller and more complex the better. I've got good mechanical skills, electrical/electronics knowledge and can interpret/hack a fair bit of code to get what I need done. As many here would know, learning the three engineering disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical, Software is a must if you wish to develop and maintain R&D mechatronic systems. Never one to shy away from a challenge I have wilfully committed most of the cardinal sins of system engineering and suffered the consequences from it. Knowledge has been hard won and I try to share my experience where I can. I do love engineers and use them daily but personally I prefer a little dirt under my nails to a sharp pencil and calculator.<br />
<br />
<br />
My other passion is in processes. As an INTP (MBTI) finding order, increasing efficiency and constantly learning drives me forever toward the new and challenging. As my current vocation is manufacturing, right now I'm thinking very deeply on the best way to make continuous improvement as natural and seamless as possible whilst ensuring safe pathways for the newcomer and endless options for the veteran. I was impressed with the work I saw from the Community and applaud the underlying philosophy of an open source plan to create self replication so I'm looking forward to adding value where I can.<br />
<br />
<br />
Looking forward to meeting you all soon!<br />
<br />
== Current Objectives ==<br />
I always have a plethora of plans running. Of course I will take liberty with my lists and change them often and mercilessly. There is always a new bright shiny object to distract me away so I never make solid commitments to myself. To others yes, to me no. <br />
<br />
==== 1. Build a RepRap ====<br />
The hard way of course... good documentation (and rev control of it) is key to engineering quality so I'm here to audit not just build!<br><br />
This is proving to be quite a challenge as the information is quite disperse. See down the bottom for a sub page dedicated to my builds and the issues I'm experiencing <br />
<br />
==== 2. Build Another! ====<br />
I'm much more interested in the machine than the printing so I intend to build another unit almost straight away. I will need both a development and production machine at all times. <br />
<br />
==== 3. Service the WA Community ====<br />
There does not appear to be a lot of Supplier options in Western Australia and transport is a big issue for us as most overseas supplies comes through the Eastern ports. I will work to help out here if I can. I've joined a couple of Maker groups so hopefully can look for local community to justify me purchasing stock and getting some better costing. Gotta try to spread the love. <br />
<br />
==== 4. Product Development ====<br />
I've done a fair bit of Instrument R&D and find it enjoyable... frustrating but enjoyable! <br />
<br />
* I'm not a big fan of the threaded rod as it's not particularly aesthetic. Nor the frame as it is quite a difficult and expensive piece to create for the home builder. I have some ideas to be able to print these<br />
* If I'm successful above I'd also like to incorporate the wiring harness into the body of the machine with some ducting holes<br />
* I'm thinking a good cost effective Breeder would also be nice to expand our little family of systems<br />
<br />
==== 5. Work on our Environment ====<br />
Bringing many people together to share knowledge is the essence of a Wiki. I have a lot of ideas that could be done but I will take that slowly. I respect the communities decisions and why things are done a certain way so I'm not in a rush. I will be using my sub pages to develop my ideas as this seems appropriate and respectful. I will consult on the forum before doing anything global.<br />
