Currently the MOST RepRap is a prize in the 3D Printers for Peace Contest -- Entry deadline is Sept. 1, 2013
The MOST RepRap was developed by the Michigan Tech Open Sustainability Technology research group
Main alterations from standard Prusa
- A lightweight carbon fiber rod y-carriage that has the capacity to increase y-travel to 250mm and increase print speed
- 3mm Bowden extruder using a Lulzbot pre-built extruders Budaschnozzles o f J-head
- Z-motor coupling
- Minimal x-carriage for J-head hot end.
- There are other minor mods like redesigning the end stop holders using non-standard x-axis ends and the handy little belt terminators for providing tension and activating limit switches.
- Cost was minimized by using the Melzi board, minimizing the lengths of structural steel components and replacing fasteners with printed components as much as possible.
- Color coded with easy build instructions
BOM, Build instructions, STL files, etc.
- Tandem Build - If you want to build a MOST RepRap with a friend ~ 1 working day
- Solo - How to build a MOST RepRap on your own - inexperienced can do it in under 24 hours
