Introduction

This is my version of a Mini Prusa, The idea behind it was that after building my Mendel-Prusa I thought that the desgin 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

  1. Sanguinololu electronics,
  2. Aluminium heated bed,
  3. Nema 14 Stepper Motors
  4. Smaller Wade extruder using Nema 14
  5. M6 Smooth and Threaded rods


I also have re-desgin most parts to make sure that fit the project goal.
