I've been a bit long but my Prism is finally complete. Still struggling with settings, but had a couple of nice test prints already.
It's so great when fiddling with some nuts at the back of the machine to be able to reliably bend myself over the top extrusion without fear of crushing the machine like I would on a Prusa
I need to take some pictures, in the meantime I've published 2 of my hacks :
Little blocks to attach a handle to the top extrusion : [www.thingiverse.com]
Z belt springy idler that I've discussed here before : [www.thingiverse.com]
Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

It is fun to build the Prism!
I could not help myself but to assemble another one So as I do not need two I am selling the second one on ebay. Also it would be interesting to see if people would want it. Here is the item [www.ebay.com]

Nice build rGlory, looks like you're far more efficient than me.
Can you give the source of your adjustable endstop holders ? I'm going to mount my endstops soon, my Prism would love to print herself some parts

As promised, some pictures of my Prism.
Overview :
Z belt path with my custom idler :
X idler, I should do something to make the belt nearest to the axis, it currently limit my Z height around 10 cm.
X motor mount hacked out of spare metal bits laying around. Was needed to push the motor out of under the extrusions, which was a severe limitation to my Z printable space. Prusa Z/X axis parts are not really optimized for a Prism.
Details of the bed mount. The champaign cork is here to stick the thermistor right in the heated bed pcb center hole.
The base plate was hand sawed out of a kitchen cutting plate. They say it should resist 120°C (machine washable), and it was a piece of cake to cut and drill, but it's a lil bit too much flexing, I'll have to replace it with something more rigid sometimes.
Ramps mounted on the right hand side of the machine, using [www.thingiverse.com] :
Printing in progress :

Kinda already did that. Just need to resize the rods and drive nuts for standard machines.
These X-ends are for 10mm X rods, LM8UU's and a 3/8" ACME leadscrew and nuts.
Got alot on my plate right now, but if anyone needs a specific setup just let me know. I can modify the files fairly quickly now.

Just remember - Iterate, Iterate, Iterate!

Looks nice akhlut !
Did you make it using openscad ?
If so, just publish the sources, we'll modify it ourself for our needs
