HuxleyFrame

General

This page and its peers should guide you through assembling a RepRap Huxley from the TechZone kit, or from parts you have printed which are the same as the TechZone parts. It is a work in progress, and needs some help, feel free to edit this document to add comments of you your own, or contact us [here] and send us messages asking us for better clarification or details.

I am starting by posting the pictures I have, and over the next few days, I will fill in the instructions and detials (24 Dec 2010)

Thanks,
Lambert (TechZone R&D/Support/Documenter)

We Assemble the Frame as Units, the Top Unit, the Front Unit and the Back Unit, then we put them together. To begin with, we assemble parts just finger tight, and into aproximate areas. When it is all together, we will fix things by measurements, and tighten them up.

Top Unit

On the left is a picture of the parts used to make the top unit:

• • (2) of the longest threaded bars from your bar kit
  • (8) 6mm nuts
  • (8) 6mm washers
  • (2) Top Vertices - from the printed parts set

Simply thread the inside nuts onto the bars, then washers, followed by the top vertice pieces, more washers and the outside nuts.

Make the parts just finger tight for now, we will get the exact placement and tighten it up a little more at a later time.
