Under construcution

This article is the extended version of a material list for the RepRap Morgan.

Thanks to Quentin Harley for his permission and for his outstanding RepRap Morgan-project.

Introduction

I've decided to start this page not only to show my Morgan-project, but to enable a seperate development branch of Quentin Harleys outstanding work and to post my ideas without intervening with Quentin's work. I would be honored, of course, if some of the ideas that may evolve over here, finally make it into Quentins project.

On the other hand I'll try to keep this project up to date with Quentins progresses and ideas to make this a very progressive and attractive Morgan-project.

This side is still under construction, but I've decided to give it to the public now, because some files and ideas may already be of interest for the community.

You may use all the files and ideas for free and with no restrictions, except of claiming the were your won work. If you want to derive your own Morgan-project from here, feel free to do so, but please let this project go its own path. You can, of course, discuss any aspect on the discussion page here and I'd be very happy and thankful for comments, critics and recommendations.

Printed parts

You find the original SCAD-file from Quentin Harley, that does all his original parts, over here: Original Morgan SCAD-file

I've redrawn all printed parts to ease modifications for me, because I'm working with Autodesc Inventor.

ZIP-Archives with all files can be downloaded here: All drawings All Inventor files All STL-files

Hardware



<todo> 2mm self tapping coach screws, 40mm

15mm brass pipe 440mm

15mm brass pipe 200mm

22mm brass pipe 460mm

8mm threaded rod 650mm

8mm smooth rod

hard spring (idler compression) 7mm

8mm soft spring (lead screw anti backlash)

cabinet coach screws, 5mm </todo>

Progress of my own Morgan

This bill of materials is based on the status of my own build of a RepMorgan. You can see, how far I've got until now over here: Progress.png

Actual progress (zip, 15MByte)

Points so far:

  • The position of the pvc-support mount holes has been corrected, so there's no crossing of the pvc-tubes anymore (while preserving the original pipe-lengths).
  • The design of the pvc-pipe-supports was enhanced to get more stability.
  • The design of the z-mount-brackets was slightly modified for stability.

To be done

(feel free to place tasks here, or discuss additional tasks on the discussion page)

  • Publishing the platforms with screenshots, drawings and Inventor-files (will be done on Sat, 08/09/2013)
