Fabrap 1.0

thingiverse

Fabrap, a testament to ingenuity and self-reliance. I'm thrilled to report that Fabrap was my very first printer - one that I'm still thoroughly enjoying to this day. After craving a larger capacity model, I took the plunge and designed something even more remarkable: the Fabrap. Its printing volume is nothing short of staggering at 380-380-260 cubic units, with design inspiration drawn directly from the visionaries serge, Regpye, and John Lawrence - not to mention a dash of Smartrap philosophy thrown in for good measure. The true power behind Fabrap lies in its open-source ethos: I encourage everyone to follow my progress, share ideas, and contribute at: http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?344,409682. As Fabrap continued to take shape on September 20, 2014, a new chapter was ushered into the world. This innovation has undergone numerous iterations since its inception. On September 23, a pivotal update added additional Z rod support (watch this remarkable transformation in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRug6bQYUvg&list=UUk3WRO7dNmTntw4xpqo_wjw). Following the discovery that a crucial screw hole wasn't penetrating, on October 16, "Z rod and motor holder" received a much-needed facelift. Furthermore, I'm delighted to announce that a dedicated forum for Fabrap's evolution and betterment is about to emerge. This open forum invites contributors from far and wide to lend their expertise, spark new ideas, and fuel progress in all its facets - stay tuned! By November 9, the year 2014 had witnessed yet another breakthrough: a dedicated website (http://fabrap-3d-printers.com/forum/) has now joined Fabrap's already impressive repertoire of communication tools, serving as a platform for exchanging ideas and refining improvements. As we continue to forge forward into uncharted territory, I'm excited to reveal that an updated version, dubbed Fabrap 1.1, will make its grand entrance soon. To get the most out of your very own Fabrap printer, I recommend perusing the instructions carefully below: --- Preparation of Parts and Assembly Instructions All parts used for the creation of Fabrap were lovingly crafted on my faithful Smartrap printer. As for glass preparation: cut 300-474 glass to the required dimensions. Keep in mind that for optimal results, full-sized glass measures approximately 400-474. Simply lengthen or shorten part A1 to meet your exact specifications - simple as that!
