Purple Prusa i3

Hi Everyone, (also posted in the General Section)

I wanted to share some pics of a new Prusa i3 Single-plate build that I've recently completed. For some bling, it's finished in anodized purple aluminium, yellow ABS parts and marine-grade stainless. It uses 10mm threaded rods and 10mm smooth rods for the Y-axis, 8mm for X and Z. Prints like a dream... not completely happy with the standard Prusa parts, I've also modded some of the parts to perform better... especially the Z end-stop.

Very nice build! Is that a hall effect transistor based end stop for Z?

Yep. You can see the magnet, just, above it.

Could you share the modifications you made to make one just like yours?

Awesome I assume you printed all those upgrades with the machine?

Some (Z mount and extruder gears)... I luckily also have a nicely tuned MendelMax for the printing initial parts.
