| 7 | This is my reprap printer design, a derivative from Josef Prusa's i3 with the |
| 8 | following goals: |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 1. Replace the waterjet metal frame / wooden box frame with an inexpensive |
| 11 | and rigid frame made from standard 2020 Aluminum Extrusion. |
| 12 | |
| 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. |
| 21 | |
| 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). |
