Reprap Wilson is a descendant of the Prusa i3 style reprap. It also has elements similar to the Lulzbot Taz (particularly the Wilson T Series).

The main goal of Wilson was to replace the frame with one built from standard Aluminum extrusions (2020). Additionally, the design has a parametric build area, meaning it is relatively easy to scale the X, Y, and Z axis within reason. I've also made an effort to reduce the number of unique parts used as much as possible, and incorporated some other design ideas that I have tried on the Prusa i3 previously (monolithic Y ends, easy adjustment of the Z limit switch, integrated endstop holders, among others).

The standard BOM is for a 200mm³ build area.

Build Variants

There are two variants of the reprap Wilson design, designated as the R and T Series, or simply RS and TS.

Wilson RS

The RS is the original model, with Round (R) threaded rods for the Y axis.
Advantages of the RS:
  • Less extrusions to buy, if you already have or have access to M10 threaded rod.
  • For the same print volume, the RS is shorter (Z axis), which results in shorter extrusions and Z axis rods.

Wilson TS

The TS uses T-slot extrusions for the Y axis (as well as the frame, like the RS).
Advantages of the TS:
  • A single type of framing element is used (2020 extrusion), which simplifies the BOM.
  • Better suited to longer Y-axis versions, because the extrusions have better rigidity over length than the M10 threaded rods.
  • Because the print bed is higher, there is room beneath the bed for a 12V PSU and electronics board.
