Prusa Mendel Documentation

Peteredworthy:

A new reprap printer will built along the lines of the Prusa Mendel. You can find details of the Prusa design at the [http://reprap.org/wiki/Prusa Prusa Mendel page] on the reprap wiki, or you can [https://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel view the sources for the Prusa at github][[File:prusamendelbucket.jpg|250px|right]]

=Intro=
Having another 3d printer in the space will allow us to always have a working machine and to use one machine to help fix another if there are problems. It will also enable several people to print things out at the same time. The goal is to document this build so others can make their own printer following our documentation.

=Status=
We have enough parts to assemble the frame!
The final preparation needed is to cut 4 M8×294mm and 2 M8×210mm lengths from the threaded rod in the box.

=Materials for the build=

5x steppers
4x stepper controllers (we'll have to pull these from the cupcake and have the cupcake use the mbi ones)
1x p4ac 4 axis stepper controller carrier board (we'll have to pull this from the cupcake too)
1x wade's extruder (assembled and working)
1x 36mm brass barrel
1x 0.5mm mbi nozzle
1x 0.5mm makergear bighead nozzle
Insulator materials (have to make and document on lathe)
nuts/bolts/washers - I have tons
plywood/mdf for build platform

==Xaq==
RP parts

==Still needed==
threaded rods
smooth rods
heated build platform (if we want it, can get away with some other hacks if we want, or leave it out altogether)

==Offers==
Mark has threaded rod
Alden has a Tiny G board... this is attractive
Pete smooth rod

Peteredworthy: /* Non-Printed Parts ("vitamins") */

A new reprap printer will built along the lines of the Prusa Mendel. You can find details of the Prusa design at the [http://reprap.org/wiki/Prusa Prusa Mendel page] on the reprap wiki, or you can [https://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel view the sources for the Prusa at github]

=Intro=
Having another 3d printer in the space will allow us to always have a working machine and to use one machine to help fix another if there are problems. It will also enable several people to print things out at the same time. The goal is to document this build so others can make their own printer following our documentation.
