This is the place to describe improvements to RepRapPro Huxley

Huxley Mini-Spool

A horizontal mini-spool to store a small amount of filament right under your Huxley.

Mattroberts'_Huxley_Carriage

Adds nuttraps to the carriage, so you replace the self tapping screws with metal screws.


Ditch_Those_PLA_Pulleys

Obtain and fit x2 (16 tooth) aluminium pulleys to you RepRapPro Huxley’s X and Y stepper motors.

(See: eMAKER, Think3DPrint3D)

You should see a substantial increase in print quality, especially when printing circular or curved objects.

N.B: You will find removing the small shoulder (using a metal work lathe) from one end of both of the pulleys makes it much easier to mount them on Huxley’s drive shafts.

Finally, don't forget to modify the Huxley’s firmware from 14 to 16 teeth step count.
