It’s time to step forward – BCN3D – The new 3D Printer

Some months ago we assembled and tested a MendelMax. We got delighted because we can reach higher speeds without having any problems of vibrations or any decrease in quality. This try was something that rounded our heads these months during the long workshop weekends… In October we decided that we should try something else. BCN3D is that something.

As many of RepRapBCN team are students, on next february (after exams) we will upload all the information to the RepRap wiki.

Looks like a Prism Mendel 1.5 married a MendelMax.



Single length extrusions?

What are the usable axis transits per unit length of extrusion? I imagine you can scale this design up by increasing the extrusion length. Do you have up-sized printed components for this (8mm > 10mm >12mm)?

But looks great overall! Congratulations!

Thanks Akhlut!

This design is based on Mendel Max. In fact we have one of them, but when we tried to scale we had several problems in order to calibrate the machine. Finally we achieved it but it was very very difficult.

Now with BCN3D, we want to focus our work not in scale the machine but in the dual extruder and hot end design.

I would like you to know that RepRapBCN is a project from the Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya in Barcelona and our webshop allows us to have some budget and to have students working on this project.

Thanks so much for your comments!

Roger.
