8 years late, my Tantillus build This is a printed case Tantillus but the cases parts were combined to become three sections - top, middle and base. The base was trimmed shorter and the bottom Z bracket embedded into the STL. I'm no 3d designer and all work is done in Meshmixer. The case is printed with 1mm nozzle, 0.5mm layer height, material is eSUN PLA+. Each section takes around 7 hours to print. 20200410_173921_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('af7d0c30593bf9539705c96eaa874115', '/forum/thumbcache/5ed/73c/feb/86b/c1a/8f5/074/426/ccd/420/df_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200410_173921_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200410_173921_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); 20200410_181336_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('8f487ea875253e68d202780d2ae860b2', '/forum/thumbcache/19e/69d/7ef/36d/8c8/9bd/a69/31a/09e/994/b7_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200410_181336_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200410_181336_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); 20200410_181405_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('cd7a7cf91571dbbb39c59df942e8fca2', '/forum/thumbcache/656/021/3a0/07c/001/9e3/822/d2c/b6a/9c0/a8_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200410_181405_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200410_181405_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); Stringing, not yet calibrated 20200411_115536_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('89220fd289e7d4e818737b14fb904685', '/forum/thumbcache/501/c36/471/eb7/c0e/30d/dc7/b34/ec7/bb2/1b_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200411_115536_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200411_115536_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); middle section 20200411_145610_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('f4a08d60185b440dd3958bef1044f645', '/forum/thumbcache/dc1/112/202/632/72d/ef3/a23/c34/dc3/3d6/e2_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200411_145610_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200411_145610_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); middle section done 20200412_134931_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('4e0961821703a47aa5a1acccefbe7382', '/forum/thumbcache/236/139/277/fb5/8c2/2bf/c96/88e/3ae/925/36_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200412_134931_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200412_134931_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); 20200412_150553_copy_1008x756.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('9ae49fe6d0d91adb85992fcde3b2be8e', '/forum/thumbcache/4eb/cbc/c29/9c7/225/fe7/239/536/a11/d02/09_800x400.png', 'https://aidilj.com/worklog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200412_150553_copy_1008x756.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=https%3A%2F%2Faidilj.com%2Fworklog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2F20200412_150553_copy_1008x756.jpg', '', 872309, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); The case can be printed in whole but I still have doubt in the HEVO reliability https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,872309,872309#msg-872309 Mon, 05 Oct 2026 16:36:55 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,872309,875375#msg-875375 Re: 8 years late, my Tantillus build https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,872309,875375#msg-875375 blt3dp Tantillus Thu, 23 Jul 2020 10:21:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,872309,872595#msg-872595 Re: 8 years late, my Tantillus build https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,872309,872595#msg-872595

Right now, more parts are due to arrive like the printing platform and Bowden tube. Next I would need to decide whether to use an internal power supply or external power brick.

  • Metric fasteners and rods instead of imperial because those are easily available where I live
  • GT2 belt instead of strings, stringing looks like a chore and I found a mod on Thingiverse which was further improved
  • E3D V6 lite instead of J-Head, using parts from the parts bin
  • Aluminum off-the-shelf extruder instead of the printed one. A stepper mount was embedded into the base section
  • Z carrier from Thingiverse, not sure if there’s anything wrong with the original one
  • Modify the top Z bracket so to not hold the lead screw avoiding Z wobble
  • Modified Z endstop switch holder


The original design needs the belt to be tied down with zip tie. This remix doesn’t [www.thingiverse.com]


This E3D hotend mount looks to not compromise on print area [www.thingiverse.com]


A nema 17 mount is embedded into the base section for the generic extruder


Z lift from Thingiverse [www.thingiverse.com]


Top Z bracket center hole is enlarged to allow lead screw to wobble. Picture shows the original (zip tie) GT2 ends


This holder was modified to fit M3 screw and an optional clamp in case it comes loose in the future [www.thingiverse.com]

The case is printed with 1mm nozzle, 0.5mm layer height, material is eSUN PLA+. Each section takes around 7 hours to print.






Stringing, not yet calibrated

middle section done




The case can be printed in whole but I still have doubt in the HEVO reliability
