I think this is a design to go on with a woodrap version ?
Very little parts and easy to assemble and use only rectangle and squared parts that is easy to cut your self.
But there is a whole lot of holes to drill
The motor will be used as a support on the x carriage when mounted to make it even more solid that I will show as soon as I get my motors.

First of all sorry for the lack of updates
But as iam unemployed so did the unemployement office send me to work at a hot dog factory with very long hours so iam pretty tired when iam back at home.
Iam going to have this work until august with week by week notice on how many hours I get?
But hopefully will It give me some money for my love of electronics
Not much have happened so far but I have my motors and this extruder.
[www.ebay.co.uk]
After I solved all my problems with my Chinese mk8 so do I sort of love these small extruders as they are very compact and work at good speed with a 0.4-0.5 nozzle.
The zip ties will be replaced by small printed parts when I see wath parts of the design that work good.
So far have I measured the print size to 220x210 on the xy axis with 300 mm long rods.
Iam going to see how much I manage todo this weekend as iam also free on Monday next week.
Regpy.
You think like I do
I have this power supplie at home but I think I could find a smaller one that fits better to the design?
[www.ebay.co.uk]
This supplie do I use on my prus ai3.
[forums.reprap.org]
Be patient everyone with my slow progress during this time as iam extremely tired after the work days on this temporary work place.
Ps..........
Regpy I noticed that you are from Australia
My mother used to dig for opals down there before she meet my father .
But that whas many years ago as iam 39 years old now

Ps............
do you guys think its stupid to do a build with also m5 threaded rods for the x carriage?
Iam not sure how hot they get when doing a lot of small movements during long periods?
I noticed on my prusa with m5 threaded rods that they can get hot on the z axis if you move long distances in one go and make it stutter?
And haven't tested it on any other axis?

If you want to stick with a rod, and the axis is moving free enough, you could always try a ThreadlessBallscrew.

Yes i've seen those ballscrews, though Cliff is trying to make a 'wooden+hardwarestore sourced' smartrap. It's about time every city has a little Shanghai shop next to the hardware store.
I wonder if it's possible to make all wooden slides (XY and Z) Although that probably will then no longer fit in the smartrap philosophy (or does it?). And I'm also thinking about using the smooth glass as a slide itself, but then it's more difficult to attach a heated bed.
Ideally Serges idea to make an all printed smartrap that can print all of itself is exelent. Though in my case i found out that the other challenge, to build a printer without having access to a printer is still a bit of a pain. (but very educational)
And ... now I wonder if there are Japanese wood specialists here on the forum.

regpy I always look on all modifications and grabb the best parts for my build
And I actually think the company I bought the extruder from are using your version when you mention the grubb screw and all ?
But please find your stl files and let me have a look
