Mondrain. Latest Base Corners - 10 years ago

Hello, I've been looking at (and printed) the latest Mondrain base corners and I am a bit confused with the Z-axis threaded rod. In earlier designs there are two bearings keeping the threaded rod in place, the upper bearing taking the load when pushing up, and the lower bearing taking the load when pulling down. The new design has only one place for the bearing, and that is the lower part. Wha

Re: Atfer Hbot, go to CoreXY. - 10 years ago

Hi there, Thought I would add to the list of people building one of these. I'm reusing 300mm extrusion I had left over from a failed build, and have printed some corner brackets instead of using expensive mounting hardware. I'm still waiting for my F624 bearings to arrive from China. Because of my shortened aluminium lengths I am going to have to redesign the z-stage, and was thinking of goi

Re: Foldarap / Mondrain Printing Issues - 10 years ago

Hello, Just a quick update on progress here. I think what has started to happen is the thermister connected to the underside of the bed has come loose during operation, so the reported temperature isn't quite the same as the actual temperature. I've turned down my bed temp from 110c to 98c and the improvements have been vast. I then dropped down the ABS extrusion temperature from 240 to 230 as

Foldarap / Mondrain Printing Issues - 10 years ago

Hi there, I'm having issues with printing objects with both a solid top and without sharp corners lifting (ABS). I'm using a Reprap Pro hotend and a 50cm bowden cable along with a Mk2 heat bed. I have it all hooked up to a eShapeoko and have had sucessful prints with Cura in the past (My Mondrain just needs to Z-axis parts now) but now prints are failing. I'm moved back to Slic3r as it provid

Re: Mondrian M222 Motors On Corners Vs Foldarap Mendel moving motor - 10 years ago

I've recently switched to the M222 based design motor mounts. I really like how tidy it makes the machine in comparison to the belt-rack and pinion design. Did you do anything special to keep the wires tidy on the moving motors design? Keep up the awesome work! Conoral11

Re: Z Axis backlash - 11 years ago

Jérôme, Yes they should if gravity is compensating for backlash. Be careful not to make your plastic parts too lose, because they can then twist causing it to bind and get stuck. If you get the time take a video of the plastic parts sliding by hand. It should give a clue to how tight your parts are. Another option is to place a spring between the two nylon nuts in your z axis. This would ensur

Re: Z Axis backlash - 11 years ago

Jérôme, How smooth is you axis movement? Does the Z axis move downwards without the threaded rod by itself? It may be that your z-axis parts are a little too tight. Gravity is the best method for z-axis backlash compensation. Or you z-axis rails aren’t perfectly parallel. Conoral11

Re: Mondrian M222 Motors On Corners Vs Foldarap Mendel moving motor - 11 years ago

Emmanuel, Thank you for the clarification. It is great to know that they both work well. When all my various parts arrive from around the world I'll post a build log for other to have a look at. I'll also create a visual BOM. Conoral11

Mondrian M222 Motors On Corners Vs Foldarap Mendel moving motor - 11 years ago

Hi there, I wanted to know if there was any drawback to the M222 design files, the ones where the Y-axis is driven by two stationary motors in comparison to the main design files that use the Foldarap Mendel mounts where both of the motors move with the X-axis. e.g. M222 Stationary Motors vs Mondrian Moving Motors I personally perfer the stationary mounts as it is a bit easier to control the

Nema 14 for Mondrian? - 11 years ago

Hi There, I'm currently in the process of getting all the parts to build a Mondrian M333 and wanted to know which Nema 14 Motors are recommended? Annoyingly I have my left over Nema 17 from my damaged Prusa to use, although I believe the Mondrian changed to Nema 14's when the motor mounts changed from the corners to the X axis structure. From the Github skectup file I can still see the Nema 17

Re: Where to get Mondrian Printed Parts? - 11 years ago

gmh39, Thank you for the kind offer! I'm actually in the UK, and I'm not sure if shipping will be too high or not. Let me know what you think. Kind Regards Conoral11

Where to get Mondrian Printed Parts? - 11 years ago

Hi there, I've been following the Foldarap2 (now Mondrian) since the early LEGO model concepts and have printed the odd part to play with. I managed to damage my current printer (Prusa 1) in a house move and aren’t thus able to print any of my own repairs. I'm taking this opportunity (*sigh*) to change to the Mondrian design . Does the foldarap project print parts for sale to help support it?
