Overview

The Parametric Printrbot Variant needs a better name. It is inspired by the Printrbot, but is a complete redesign in OpenSCAD to be more robust (without the loose press-fit mountings), but still extremely simple. It is being designed for use with 6mm smooth/threaded rods and NEMA14 motors like the ones used in the Huxley design, and LM6UU bearings for linear motion, though its parametric nature means that NEMA17/M8/LM8UU versions will also be possible. The parts are currently hosted on thingverse, and the latest updates/previews can be found on Whosawhatsis' Google+ page. This design is a work in progress.
