Introduction

  • easy assembly
  • parameric files for multiple sizes/barings or bushings

Development

The development of the Prusa Mendel is hosted on github: https://github.com/josefprusa/Prusa3.

History

Printed Parts

The STL files to make the printer can be found at Clone_wars:_Prusa_iteración_3.

To compile yourselve use the files from Github [[2]] Copy configuration.scad.dist to configuration.scad and fill custom settings section there


RP every .scad in this directory (except complete-printer) once. Aim for 0.3mm layers and 2.2 extrusion width (width over thickness), for 0.66mm stroke width. Printer is tested at this setting.

Using doc/complete-printer.scad as a visual clue and doc/manual.txt as a guide, build the printer.
