BrickRapBuildManual
Hi folks,
have fun building your very own BrickRap (and making it better ;-)
Bill of Materials (BOM)
STL-Files
Tipps and Tricks
- Try to print some easy to print stuff first, in order to optimize your printing settings (infill, layer height, layer width). I suggest: "BrickRap_6er_stange.stl" and "BrickRap_Bond_set_6fach thinner.stl"
- you don't necesarrily need screws to fix the 28BYJ48-stepper-motor to the fittings they should fit tight. You could also print some clips based on "BrickRap_Bond_set_6fach thinner.stl"
- Make sure to have the cabling of the 28BYJ48-stepper-motor correct: (For Ramps 1.4: blue cable goes into 2B, yellow cable goes into 2A, orange cable goes into 1A, pink cable goeas into 1B)
- Use something like 5 steps/mm and 10 mm/s for first trials. The motors are slow and can get hot, make sure to reduce current if that happens! Remember: the motors are sold as 5V stepper motors.
- Have fun puzzling the pieces together! I would like to upload more pictures to make assembly easier, but I do not have any camera right now.
Known Issues
- no extruder mounting included
- chain does not work well
- chain-gear needs rework
- no endstop mounting included
=> Make it better !!! (And let me know, if you made it!)
