Proteins
In RepRap jargon, a vitamin is anything that you need to make a RepRap, which a RepRap can make itself.
All parts were designed using OpenScad, they are reutilized parts from the Prusa 2 and Prusa i3 box. Font files available at:Josef Prusa's repository

Almost all the structure is made of steel so you will only need th following printed parts:
Carriage parts
Endstop holders
This part allow the attachment of the endstops to the frame. You will need 3 for a basic setup (homing axes) and 6 if you want to sense both ends of each axis.
Diferent endstops can be attached to the P3Steel printer. Here we list some options.
Endstop 1 | Endstop 2 | Endstop 3 | Endstop 4 | |

X-Axis motor end
This part holds the X-Axis motor, fastens the Smooth rods of the X-Axis, holds two LM8UU bearings for the left Z-Axis smooth rod and the nut for the left Z-Axis threaded bar.
Diferent X-Axis motor ends can be fitted to the P3Steel printer. Here we list some options.
