General Description

   SE1x is a printer designed by papabur, derived/inspired by the E1x by tjb1 which allowed you to build a Prusa i3 without having to source the laser cut parts, bringing cost down. Including the use of the Lulzbot heated bed build plate(available at Lulzbot) brought on by LoH, it still needed to be resized/redesigned to allow you to reach the full 300mm in each axis. It has had other various improvements made by the reprap community on IRC and the forums. This design is continuesly being improved upon and has a growing list of positive feedback.
    300mm^3 Print Volume allows for less restrictions and more room for larger objects or multiple items at once.

History/Updates

  • 05/15/15: Mobious Robotics LLC. launches website offering first version of the sE1X.
  • 06/05/15: Scaling increase for entire machine to 300x300x300mm.
  • 07/21/15: New gantry support design created by papabut which utilizes 2 150mm 2020 extrusions with printed mounting brackets to attach from Y to Z extrusions.
  • 08/01/15: Complete overhaul of the sE1X gantry design done by papabur. Including the placement of the Z axis motors to the top of the Z axis, instead of the original bottom based design. This adjustment was made based off scientific fact made by Protoparadigm involving threaded rods as leadscrews in regards to tension vs compression. New parts created include X motor end, X idler end with idler built in, Z axis top motor mounts, and Z axis bottom mounts(all available on the Github page).
  • 08/15/15: Prototyping of new gantry design shown promising results and is now available as the standard for all the kits. Customers who bought kits before this will have the option to purchase upgrade kits. -09/02/15: Upgraded entire sE1X to all 10mm smooth rod for extra rigidity.
  • 10/08/15: Designed new Y axis heated bed mounted bearing brackets to allow for easier movement.
  • 03/28/2016: sE1X wiki is created, MKS sbase control boards are now in stock...officially done with smoothieboard.
