It's possible, but I do we have any need for the capabilities such as high speed / high load bearing that fluid bearings offer? It would add more complexity and vitamin count for what benefit? Still I would like to see it done. It should be very easy to design and mock up, though I don't have an air compressor at the moment to power it... hmm.by Nyarlathotep - General
Could it be blended with another polymer (PLA?) to lower the extrusion pressure needed to within reach of our filament extruders, and yet keep some of the superior mechanical characteristics? Perhaps this would be similar to Laywood filament.by Nyarlathotep - General

Instead of drilling the rods, it should be possible to use a printed spool for the cable connection, similar to what some versions of the Kossel or RichRap's 3DR use:by Nyarlathotep - Tantillus
You can post the design and people could tell you easily if it's printable or not.by Nyarlathotep - Delta Machines

I fixed some mesh errors and adjusted the interior area around the endstop mount to make the Top Electronics Mount printable.by Nyarlathotep - Delta Machines
I'm printing these parts on an Ultimaker in PLA. I'll weigh them as I print and update this post. So far I've printed : 1.2mm perimeter/top/bottom, .235 layer height, 30% infill (sliced with the wrong settings but came out fine) 3DR_Top_cover_cap_V2_001_RTP x3 = 65g 3DR_Bottom_Motor_Mount_V2_001_RTP x3 = 250g 3DR_Bottom_Boss_V2_001_RTP x1 = 22g 3DR_Top_Boss_V2_001_RTP = 6g These parts would useby Nyarlathotep - Delta Machines

Why should Lulzbot take any blame? The summary screen before you submit clearly lists the exact and total price you will be charged for the order. The fact that they offered you some compensation at all -- which is probably their entire profit on the order -- is above and beyond what almost any company would give. You have just as much responsibility to be a good customer as they have to be aby Nyarlathotep - General
As seen here : I need 4 of these hobbed bolts, I may give it a go myself but I'm sure someone out there is far better equipped than I to make these -- so save me some time and effort and make a little money for yourself! I'm located in Seattle, WA.by Nyarlathotep - Wanted

Did you check the Wiki ? There is a whole page on steppers. It is written for Darwin not Mendel - it lists 100 oz-in torque for example, need more like 20 oz-in for Mendel - but it has good information on wiring and such. There is another Mendel-specific page with requirements along with links to specific motors+suppliers and if they're tested or not. Basically what you want is a - bipolar (4 wby Nyarlathotep - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
'Installation of X-Axis' This step calls for M4x12 bolt, qty 6. However there's no M4x12 bolt called out in the master BoM on the Mendel Assembly Data Sheet so there is an error somewhere - either in the BoM or on the assembly instructions. Can anyone confirm the correct screws to use on this step? Thanks !by Nyarlathotep - General Mendel Topics
Well - here is a list. I cannot guarantee this is 100% accurate as I went with some different suppliers for some stuff and got other things locally, and haven't built my Mendel yet either. So please triple check it against the BOM before you click the buy button. Up front let me say : I spent a lot of time running numbers on the hardware parts, and there are people selling kits that have very cby Nyarlathotep - General
Greetings and hello! There doesn't appear to exactly be an 'introduce yourself' forum, but this one seems fitting enough. I've been following the progress of RepRap for quite some time but I've finally decided to dip a toe in the waters by building and then (hopefully!) improving a Mendel printer. I'm already well into the process of acquiring the various hardware to build my first Mendel; theby Nyarlathotep - Reprappers
