Here is now the latest stable version of our little FoldaRap :) Here are the main following improvements : * replacing the extruder nema14 by a nema17, having 3-4x time more torque * slightly simpler assembly (same feet on front and rear side, adding a rear plate for the plug/switch, etc.) * implementing several contributions from the community, like the nut-holder to adjust the bed (Damien) or the gantry stop (thanks to Xoan) * anticipation of the future 3.0 (for which the Y axis will also glide on the extrusions) * testing the new version of our hotend (using a 4mm tubing like on the Mondrian, going through the pneumatic fitting and inside of the barrel, inspired by the E3DKraken) * and most importantly… a completely remade documentation [reprap.org] ! And a lot of little things that were added progressively but which now are the new stable version of the FoldaRap, all the files are on the usual : [github.com] (the kits we make are also moving to 2.5 [openedge.cc]) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,535555#msg-535555 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 06:10:04 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,547767#msg-547767 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,547767#msg-547767 Emmanuel FoldaRap Thu, 20 Aug 2015 05:51:13 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,537717#msg-537717 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,537717#msg-537717 BJacoby FoldaRap Sun, 26 Jul 2015 14:19:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,536666#msg-536666 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,536666#msg-536666
@FA-MAS For the Y-axis, in fact it have been tried a while ago : [forums.reprap.org]

@BJacoby I've tried to follow that here [reprap.org] but we have yet to add the vitamin's difference for the latest]]> Emmanuel FoldaRap Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:54:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,536398#msg-536398 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?283,535555,536398#msg-536398

Here are the main following improvements :
* replacing the extruder nema14 by a nema17, having 3-4x time more torque
* slightly simpler assembly (same feet on front and rear side, adding a rear plate for the plug/switch, etc.)
* implementing several contributions from the community, like the nut-holder to adjust the bed (Damien) or the gantry stop (thanks to Xoan)
* anticipation of the future 3.0 (for which the Y axis will also glide on the extrusions)
