7 | This is my reprap printer design, a derivative from Josef Prusa's i3 with the |
8 | following goals: | |

10 | 1. Replace the waterjet metal frame / wooden box frame with an inexpensive |
11 | and rigid frame made from standard 2020 Aluminum Extrusion. | |

13 | 2. To make the build volume parametric (easy to scale up or down by 50%), with |
14 | a parametric BOM tool (spreedsheet) to assist in part selection. | |
15 | ||
16 | 3. To simplify construction of the printer by reducing vitamins and including | |
17 | detailed assembly steps as part of the design files. I've made an effort | |
18 | to reduce the number of unique parts (nuts & bolts) as much as possible. | |
19 | I've also incorporated single-piece Y ends that eliminate about 20 more | |
20 | hardware items. | |

22 | The repository has these parts: |
23 | ||
24 | 1. The STL files needed to build the printer. | |
25 | 2. Documentation section where instructions and parts-list can be found. | |

26 | 3. Some parts have corresponding OpenSCAD models which are kept in the scad |
27 | folder. | |
28 | 4. Various images of the printer/build process are in the images folder | |
29 | (beneath docs). | |
