"cap screws" sind Innensechskantschrauben, die einen Sechskantschlüssel aufnehmen. "pan screws" haben Pozidriv (so ähnlich wie, aber nicht dieselben wie Phillips) Köpfe. "hex screws" haben sechseckige Köpfe, die mit einem Schraubenschlüssel angezogen werden können.

Gedruckte Teile

Die STLs sind Links zu GitHub, somit sind sie immer aktuell. Folge dem Link und rechtsklicke dann auf "Raw" und wähle "Speichern als..." um eine einzelne STL herunterzuladen. Um mehrere Dateien herunterzuladen kann das ganze Projekt durchsucht oder als eine .zip-Datei ( **LINK DEAD** -Eagleapex (talk) ) von GitHub heruntergeladen werden.

Modifizierter Wade's Geared Extruder

Mendel90 verwendet einen Wade's_Geared_Extruder dessen Design von Nophead angepasst wurde.

Man kann auch einen 7.5mm M8-Ring anstatt der Unterlegscheiben benutzen um Abstand zwischen Wade's großes Zahnrad und dem Block zu bringen. Allerdings kommt es darauf an, wo dein Hobbed Bolt gefräßt ist, damit das funktioniert...

Druck-Parameter

So far the parts have only been tested in ABS.

The STL files are built from the OpenSCAD definitions. The latest built STL files are on GitHub for the default, "mendel", configuration and the "sturdy" version. For other configurations build the STL files from source using the scripts provided.

Nophead prints the gears, pulleys and cable clips with a 0.35mm nozzle using 0.3mm layers. The pulleys don't fit the belt well when printed with a bigger nozzle, even at the same layer height, because the teeth become too rounded. The gears can be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle but the M8 nut will be tight to press in because the corners of the hexagon get too rounded.

All the other parts are printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.4mm layers. The W/T ratio is 1.5 in both cases. These parameters are defined in the config.scad file and affect the minimum horizontal and vertical feature sizes. Changing them will affect all the printed parts and sheet drawings slightly.

The relationship between nozzle size and maximum layer height depends on die swell, which in turn depends on the plastic and the length of the nozzle hole, so your mileage may vary.

It is worth printing the Y bearing mounts without support material - it isn't needed, and the unnecessary material tends to block the channels the cable ties go through.

The recommended infill density settings are as follows: -

Fixing blocks, Wades block, Wades idler block, Wades small gear 95%
Y bearing mounts, Z couplings 75%
Z motor brackets 75% hex
Bar clamps, Y belt anchors, Y idler bracket 50%
X carriage, Y motor bracket 50% hex
X idler bracket, X motor bracket 25% hex
Everything else 25%

Printed with these setting the parts weigh about 400g, a little less than a Prusa. There are a lot more parts, but most are a lot smaller.

Most of the holes are polyholes, so they should come out the right size on a well calibrated printer. The pulley and small gear holes are deliberately undersized to allow them to be reamed to exactly 5mm. cal.stl is a calibration object for testing hole sizes.

Parts Not In The BOM

Some items you need are not in the BOM because they are not modelled. These include:

  • Ribbon cable (22-way or wider)
  • Thermistor (may well come with your heated bed package)
  • Hot End
  • Reel of plastic
  • ...?

Tips For Sourcing Specific Parts

Frame

DIY stores such as B&Q in the UK can often cut MDF to size for you. When you have found the size of the sheet you are buying, work out a cutting plan so they don't have to adjust their machine between cutting two items of the same width, such as the base and gantry. This'll make sure they match exactly.

Fasteners

As the main page notes, this design requires a lot of different fasteners. To keep the cost reasonable, you will need to order them from a supplier which does small quantities. Try hard to find one which supplies in labelled bags - Orbital Fasteners is one such company. As the fasteners are so cheap, it is suggested that you order 2x the amount for anything in quantities of 4 or less, and "a good few extra" for anything in larger quantities. This will prevent you having to panic if you drop one on the floor, and give you flexibility for later fixes and additions.

If you plan to hob your own bolt, it would be a good idea to order several so you can practice. That's the 60mm M8 hex screw.

Rods

See if the company supplying your smooth and/or threaded rods can cut them to size. It makes life so much easier. Zapp Automation in the UK will cut their smooth rod to size if you specify it in the order notes.

If you buy the smooth rods in 1 meter lengths you will need 3 rods as there is 2034mm in total smooth rod length. The following is one layout you can use to cut the rods.

Rod 1: 22mm / 382mm / 275mm /275mm

Rod 2: 428mm / 270mm

Rod 3: 382mm

This will leave you with the longest waste, which might be useful to have for other projects(RepRaps).

Springs

Springs are hard to source at a reasonable price. Getting the right spring is more crucial for some than others.

The big one is not critical at all as all it does is stop the M8 nut vibrating off. You could use a Nyloc or two plain nuts instead. The spring allows you to remove the nut with your fingers.

The extruder springs are more critical in terms of length and wire gauge. For example some which were 12mm long and 1.15mm gauge were too strong and crushed the filament. The force is proportional to the fourth power of the gauge and the distance compressed. The length of the bolts means you can't use longer springs. Longer bolts stop the carriage meeting its endstop. The outside diameter is not important, but the inside diameter has to be bigger than the bolt inside and it is OD - 2 * gauge.

Hot End

To be filled in. J-Head Mk IV is what Nophead uses, but they are no longer in production.

Other Sourcing Tips

The big ticket items are the electronics, the motors, the hot end and the set of printed parts. Nophead supplies printed part sets, or if you have a friend with a reliable existing Reprap, you could ask them to help you out. Different electronics come at different prices, but if you want one that will power the fan (which is optional) you'll need a more expensive set. Gerv's parts cost £500 in total.

10cm is actually a tiny bit too short for the zip ties; get 12cm or more. (This needs to be fixed in the BOM generation.)
