I am currently building a Prusa i3 and I have a question in terms of materials for the frame and print bed. I have seen MDF and Aluminum used for the frame and bed. Does anyone have any knowledge or advise as to if these parts can be created with Plexiglass? Thanks. dby roontoon - General
Thanks for the replies. I would like a long bed and I am also looking at two heat beds and perhaps some adjustments to the stepper motor. Just trying to get some feed back as to if anyone has tried any of these mods. dby roontoon - General
Quoteaduy what are your electronics, and how big is your power supply? Arduino RAMPS. Currently using a server 600w power supply but I could get a dedicated unit. Quoteaduy if you are not using the fan mosfet you might be able to use it to power the second bed. Attached is the Fan schematic. I plan on the extruder fan and the electronics fan but not sure about the print fan but would like tby roontoon - General
I am about to start a build of a Pursa i3 and there is a modification that I am considering but I have a question. I would like to double the y axis and include 2 bed heaters, is there any problems that you see that I may encounter with the operation of the printer as well as the electronics which is my main concern. Thanks for any help or advise. dby roontoon - General
I am starting to source parts and I want to confirm what I think it true. Is the only difference between a Prusa i3 and i3XL is rod length. If that is correct where can I get a bill of materials for the XL model? Can seem to find it. Thanks in advance.by roontoon - General
Hi I am thinking about building a Reprap Prusa i3 or i3XL. Can anyone tell me the actually physical dimensions (not the print dimensions) of both of these models? I have constrained space at my bench and I would like to have it there if possible.by roontoon - General
