1X2
This page is a development stub. Please enhance this page by adding information, cad files, nice big images, and well structured data!
The 1X2 is a Reprap class 3D-printer that can be built with access to only a drill-press and hand-saw. All the parts can be made with one-dimensional tools and straight cuts. Even with these limited requirements, it is designed to be easy to build and have a full set of features.
This machine is made by: mrkimrobotics.com
Features: It has a printable area greater than all of its parts(including the rods). Dual-head extruder and plotter(w/ hot and cold separation). Simultaneous extrusion and plotting. Quick-change plotter head. Extremely narrow x-carriage design. It uses only 608 bearings. It uses only 5/16" bolts. It uses all 1-unit length rods. It uses all DIY belts. Uses all DIY drive pulleys. Uses all DIY couplers. Full conveyor-belt y-axis(reduced parts, high accuracy, low weight, automated ejection, large build area). Adjustable conveyor belt tension with bed height. Conveyor-belt goes to both edges of the machine for end-to-end chaining of machines. Hand-crank for conveyor belt. A single block is capable of building all frame vertex points. A single extended block is used for Nema17 motor mounts, 608 bearing axle supports and pillow-blocks. The 5/16" holes fit both 8mm & 5/16" hardware. Works with variable lengths. The design is not length specific, so you can build a range of machine sizes, from full size to compact with the same pieces. The frame is chainable, you can build a linked multiple segment Longcat machine. It uses only 1"x2" wood for all parts. It uses a 35/77 system, where all the parts are either 35mm or 77mm in length. The parts for the entire system can be cut to length in two fixture setup runs(with a few exceptions). All cuts are 1-dimensional 90 degrees.
Scoop Extruder: Adjustable tension with no pulleys or pusher blocks. The "scoop" extruder uses the PTFE tube itself as the "idle pulley" It uses the Makerbot Mk5 nozzle and hot-end tube. Makergear style geared stepper. Raysyu drive gear. A Nophead style heater block.
Plotter Head: This single pivot floating head plotter arm works consistently over a very wide range of surfaces. The servo actuation provides fast on-off movements. The entire plotter arm and servo can be removed or switched with another pen without taking the pen out of position. The large 5/16" holding nut uses low force and acts as a knob that can be easily spun on/off by hand. The band clamp pen holder can hold just about any pen sized tool.
