OK, time for silly beginner questions. I've searched and can't find the reasoning. What are the cutouts in a Prusa Y-axis bed frame for? The front and back ones allow more Y-travel, but what about the ones in the middle of the plate? This matters because I'm about to dump the acrylic plate and cut both a Y-axis plate and a heated bed holder from 3mm aluminum. I'm doing this to move the bed leveby R.G. - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotemarkshur I bought this kit based on the above review. My risk was small, since I already have a good working printer (Original Prusa i3 MK2) and I also have a hardware design background. I expected to have to do a few minor tweaks to get this working. Wrong! I expected even some moderate changes to get it into a workmanlike state. I judge that it made that standard. Different expectations.by R.G. - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Hi, I tried searching, and didn't turn up the result. I have a kit printer that is supposedly a "Prusa I3" clone, sold by Alunar. It has an "Anet 1.0" controller card. It did not have the firmware source with the printer. I'd like to change the card operation a bit. Can one of you point me to what version of firmware source is used in these?by R.G. - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi. Longtime lurker, first time poster. I have a couple of friends with acrylic kits (they got me hooked ) and eventually went looking for a kit. I'm an engineer by training, and have been aware of the strengths and weaknesses (literally and metaphorically) of the various styles of machine frames. I had actually 3-D'd a design with 1"x1" extrusion because I wanted the rigidity of a metal framby R.G. - Extruded Aluminum Frames
