Introduction

Ab-prusa-all.jpg

This is my page of notes on how I put together a Prusa Mendel. These are not so much improvements, but more modifications and options done for my personal convenience. I have documented them here as others may find them helpful.

This page is intended to be read in conjunction with the main RepRap page on Prusa Mendel Assembly here

The files needed for what's here are in my fork of the Prusa Mendel Git repository here: https://github.com/AdrianBowyer/PrusaMendel in the directory AdriansPrusaModifications.

Configuration

The main components I use in my version of Prusa Mendel are:

  1. Sanguinololu electronics,
  2. Aluminium heated bed,
  3. My Universal mini extruder, and
  4. XBox 360 203 watt power supply.

I also use some modified printed parts and a few extra ones. All this is described and linked to in the sections below.

Mechanics

The most significant difference between my version of Prusa Mendel and the standard one is that I reverse the X axis. Looking at the front of the machine with the Y motor at the back, the X motor is on the left, not the right.
