Prusa Mendel Assembly (iteration 2)/es
Before You Begin
Before assembling a Prusa Mendel, make sure you have all the parts necessary. For the bill of materials, see Prusa Mendel.
Notes:
- This document is work in progress.
- These instructions follow making a PLA based Iteration 2, where integrated bushings are included as part of the RP objects. The design officially supports different bearing combinations, including brass bushings, felt, and linear bearings. RP parts that are for different bearing types will look different and require additional steps but the primary assembly remains essentially the same.
- Source STL files for the printed parts are available from the prusa mendel github repository

- Although most steps are absolutely harmless when done right, you still might want to take precautions for your Health and Safety.
- In this manual it is assumed that your X and Z smooth rods are 405mm each and the Y smooth rods are 425mm
The resulting threaded rod lengths are:
1x 450mm - low center rod
2x 440mm - top rods
6x 400mm - frame vertex
4x 320mm - lower rods for front and back side
2x 250-300mm - Z threaded rods
