Reprap mendel prusa Hello all, how are you? i am sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i was unsure where to post. I have a slightly odd request, i am have been asked if i could build a reprap printer for an Rspca pet resue centre in norfolk for as little as possible. I have had a quick look at this and i think that the prusa mendel would be the one. Now my request is could/would anybody be willing to donate any parts/spare unused parts that may be laying about suitable for the build? So you see i am on a begging mission to source as much of this build from donated parts. Any kind of help would be a fantastic help. Thank you very much for reading this, i await any reply. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,315265#msg-315265 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 20:38:05 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,630180#msg-630180 Re: Reprap mendel prusa https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,630180#msg-630180 ajayre General Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:25:59 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,464284#msg-464284 Re: Reprap mendel prusa https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,464284#msg-464284 i started this project awhile ago then had a family member died, we inherited the house. but it needed so much work doing to it that the last year i have been flat out doing the renovation, which is still going on. so i did not get to do anything on the printer,
but recently i have been trying to get this project off the ground once more. i have just purchased the bearings, so there will be an update shortly hopefully.
thank you]]> Sean Birt General Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:13:54 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,424845#msg-424845 Re: Reprap mendel prusa https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,424845#msg-424845 ajayre General Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:28:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,417626#msg-417626 Re: Reprap mendel prusa https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,417626#msg-417626

6 M8×370mm Threaded rod 3 per side

3 M8×440mm Threaded rod top / bottom
2 M8×210mm Threaded rod Z-leadscrew
1 M8×50mm Threaded rod bolt for X idler.

but if thats what you got the bonus here is you be able to widen the frame to 310mm which would be an advantage if you set up a dual nozzle.]]> jinx General Thu, 03 Jul 2014 04:23:30 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,377093#msg-377093 Re: Reprap mendel prusa https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,377093#msg-377093 mojo seems to use the same size of rods as the Prusa I2.

To get sure you might ask Jinx directly, as he printed the parts he should know. Maybe send him a private message ?]]> DeuxVis General Wed, 02 Jul 2014 07:26:38 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,376188#msg-376188 Re: Reprap mendel prusa https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,315265,376188#msg-376188 i am finding inaccuracies all over the place for the build of this Prusa I2, can anybody tell me if these lengths that i have are correct for this build:
1x 450mm - low center rod
2x 440mm - top rods
6x 400mm - frame vertex

loads to read, the software guide well worth a read [www.nextdayreprap.co.uk]
gary hodgson visaul guide is another worthy read" more pic than reading [garyhodgson.com]


when sourcing the hotend if you gotta buy it dont be cheap, get a genuine mkV Jhead [tinyurl.com] worth every penny,

from the image the red parts are from the original prusa mendel i2 from git hub, the blue what turns the i2 into a mojo. the parts can be found on TGV.

starting with the X ends: [www.thingiverse.com]
the carriage :[www.thingiverse.com]
Tensionable Y-belt :[www.thingiverse.com]
extruder "Greg's Wade reloaded": [www.thingiverse.com]

these mod do add extra vitamin" nuts and bolts" count so additional 12 m3x25mm bolts and nuts. also need an extra 2 lmu88 " i for the x carriage, one for the Y bed.
the vitamins for the extruder could get from emaker [www.emakershop.com] . for the hobbed bolt I really recommend [tinyurl.com]
