A Frankenstein bot combines a replicator's design with Printrbots, resulting in an affectionate pair that controls the creation process using an Android pad. This setup leads to a budget-friendly large printer. The workspace dimensions are 4522 x 530 cm, making it quite spacious. A single extruder is used, which requires two heat beds measuring 22 x 22 cm each. Two long flange bearings on the z-axis and one flange nut are needed for the XY setup, similar to a MakerBot replicator 1. Due to the closed top section, a baked hotend may need a swan neck inked tube, although an improved version is promised later. The images provided are of an acrylic version, and there are two DWG files available - one for 6 mm acrylic and another for a 2 mm metal version. The metal version is similar to the latest iteration of the PIP. Control is facilitated via an Android device with a minimum 1 GHz processor connected to the Printrboard using a USB OTG cable. A 7-inch screen was used in previous tests, and updates can be found on makemendel.com/android. Assembly was completed on 13 February, with all seams appearing perfect. On 3 March, a metal version for the MakerBot replicator mighty board was created after overcoming multiple issues. The z-axis was altered to use an M8 twisted thread instead of acme due to its short length. Revision 3, introduced on 22 March, now includes mounts for a mini ATX power supply and printer board. However, there is a 8mm error in the super printer's aluminum drawing that needs fixing.
