pepstrap
On this page i'll keep udpated informationa about my Extremely low budget repstrap maiden mostly from junk.
I'll also try, while modding and hacking, to develop some concepts that could be applyed on a replicable future version of the printer such as:
- tensostructures substituting heavy metal bar, starting with metal wires and nuts/screws and hopefully ending to printed twisted plastic wires.
- double to triple shaft extruder, hoping to have more strenght and reduce filament's deformation.
- use of replicable plastic wheels instead of metal bearings on all axis.
- kitchen methan gas heated extruder with tungsten nozzle and ceramic/fiber insulators to achive extremely high temperatures.
- cd-rw laser heated extruder.
- 20Mhz sanguinololu electronic based on athmel1284p.
Basic junk, (were) inkjet printers
Hp-deskjet 7**/9** serie 2x, good endstops axes with metal bearings (VUP Very Useful Parts) usb, parallel connector.
Lexmark z65, good endstops axes with metal bearings (VUP) usb connector.
Canon bubblejet s5** very good stepper motor nema 17 (VUP) metal axes (no metal bearings) usb connector.
In all the previous there were a lot of other useful things, such secondary metal and plastic axes, weels, gears and in each printer you can find a very useful gum gears-belt perfect for moving your axis!
