AUP3Steel Frame and z-axis

thingiverse

We've produced numerous printers (3 iterations and 85+ units) using the P3Steel frame, which has been modified and enhanced with features from Leonardo. The x-axis is now made of 3 mm stainless steel (ASTM304), mirroring the Alu version. Special thanks go to Jakob for his work on the drawings and everyone else who contributed suggestions - a big job well done! We've named this updated printer AUP3Steel and incorporated several changes: 0) The frame has been split into individual drawings, with the laser-cut x-axis now included as standard. 1) "Flaps" and mounting holes for the smooth rod have been added to the y axis. 2) Mounting holes for Ramps 1.4 and Melzi boards are located on the side panels, but only bolted on the right side due to asymmetry. 3) Holes have been added for mounting "whatever design" to hold threaded and smooth rods for the z axis. 4) The press nut has been removed from the z xais, requiring you to thread the two plates together. 5) Mounting holes are now present on the x-sled (bolting on extrudes), with additional holes for mounting sensors on the x-axis. 6) A few extra holes have been added here and there. All files are available in PDF and DXF formats for direct laser cutting or modification if needed.

Thanks to everyone involved.
