Prusa i3 Drawings?
September 17, 2016 02:29PM
Could anyone point me to drawings of the i3 please?

I need the distance from the Z motor shaft centre to the centre of the Z vertical rod. I plan to replace the rods with 10mm ones and want to design a set of new ends for the X carriage so need that dimension. I have measured it as best I can and it looks like 18mm centre to centre but I'd rather be sure!

Thanks

I still haven't found drawings that show this part but it now appears that the dimension is 17mm, not 18. I'm still searching for diagrams if anyone knows where to find them.

there are no diagrams as such, there are only cad files if your lucky

and it depends on which on of the millions of variants of I3 that you have

If its a real Prusa I3

from [github.com]

motor position
translate([25+4.3,21,-1])

zrod position
translate([25+4.3,4.2,-1])

The distance you are looking for is on the Y plane the values 21 and 4.2 so they are 16.8 mm apart.
