Here is my updated "Prusa" type robot design. I have tried to incorporate all the latest improvements into one design package and added a few more of my own. Here are a few changes.
1) Completely remodelled parts (using Catia V5) to be metric based and easily printable without support material.
2) Reduced part count.
3) The use of cable ties where possible to reduce the number of bolts and ease of assembly.
4) An improved wade extruder which is printable vertically without support.
5) The use of LM8UU bearings to improve reliability and accuracy.
6) The use of push button switches for end stops.
7) All the extras included in the download such as power connector mounts, electronic and relay mounts.
Head over to the
Helium Frog website to download the .stl models and also a .blend .igs .stl assembly should you wish to take a closer look in 3D of the assembly.
