P3Steel Proteins

Proteins
In RepRap jargon, a vitamin is anything that you need to make a RepRap, which a RepRap can make itself.
Most 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
STL files are available at:GitHub
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.
Different endstops can be attached to the P3Steel printer. Here we list some options.
Endstop 1 | Endstop 2 | Endstop 3 | Endstop 4 | |

Y-Axis belt holder
This part goes attached to the bottom of the Y-Axis carriage, I'ts bonded to the Y-motor by a timing belt allowing the Y-Axis carriage to slide front to back carrying the build platform (heated bed).
The design of the P3Steel printer includes an steel part to serve as Y-Axis belt holder but plastic belt holders can be fitted too. Here we list some options.
