Prusa i3 rework frame diagram to make my frame
May 26, 2016 04:26PM
Hi, I am trying to upgrade from prusa i2 (large frame custom design) to prusa i3.
Instead of spending money on flimsy plywood frames, I am planning to make my own frame.
I have a wood router with me. With a diagram printed and stuck to the 0.75" plywood, I plan to use the router to cut out the frame, y carriage, frame stabilizers, etc.

Can I get access to any Prusa i3 rework frame diagram with dimensions? A high resolution diagram will help when scaling it up.
I will appreciate the help in sharing one if you already have it.

Thanks for the links Veesta.
I am looking for a larger frame dfx that I can cut with a hacksaw myself.
I was originally going to do a box frame, but I will have to re-work the box frame size, and plastic parts for the box frame myself from scad. (using 1/2" smooth and threaded rods for y-axis).
I just purchased a 2'x2' 0.75" birch wood plywood to make the frame and y carriage for $14 from Lowes.
I may have to scale up the design, learn to modify DFX files and make my frame.
Any existing design that is already worked on helps with the reduction of my effort.
