RepRapable Recyclebot V5 from Recyclebot

Introduction

This page is a work in progress as I go about building my own machine and documenting it in detail.

This is a guide based on the RepRapable Recyclebot V5 from Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Lab which can be found at:

This project is based off a guide found at:

Acknowledgements

I do not own any of this material. It was published Open-Source online and I am contributing to the previously made guide from Aubrey L. Woern, Joseph R. McCaslin, Adam M. Pringle, and Joshua M. Pearce.

Bill of Materials

I will eventually be creating an updated Bill of Materials.

Electrical BOM

3D Printed Parts

Printed at 0.2mm layer height with a 20% infill and wall thickness of 1mm. I printed every part without support except for small and large pulley.
