Introduction
This is my version of a Mini Prusa, The idea behind it was that after building my Mendel-Prusa I thought that the design could be made smaller so it would be more portable. In doing so it the size of the printer is W/H/D 310mm x 310mm x 310mm with a build area of 150mm x 150mm x 90mm. As it is smaller in size with will cost less to build and even use less plastic.
Configuration
- RAMPS or Sanguinololu electronics (or any other RepRap electronics),
- Aluminium heated bed,
- Nema 14 Stepper Motors
- Smaller Wade extruder using Nema 14
- M6 Smooth and Threaded rods
I also have re-designed most parts to make sure that fit the project goal.
