Talk:RepRap Morgan extended BOM

Hi Robert,

I too want to build a morgan but have been waiting for Quentin's updated instructions. I'm tired of waiting. Seeing stellar work like yours makes we want to build. The group in Charleston has put together some good material.

Interested in your work on the 12-z_bracket. Somehow, I have two of the z-brackets with the tear drop cutouts, one with a triangular back-plane structure, like in current github/stl for morgan, the other like yours with only the single back-plane.

Also, interested in your use if the steel drive shafts. Where did you get your 15mm and 22mm pipe?

Thanks.

Steve

Hello Steve,

glad to see my work being appreciated. I found the steel tubes in our local DIY market.

Both have a wall thickness of 1mm and are very smooth and strong and they were less expensive than in copper. You should pay less than 1,50€/m.

Maybe standard steel-c-pipes (they have 1,5mm walls) would do it too. You'll find a lot of these at ebay below 2€/m.
