Hugo

thingiverse

Hugo, named after Hugo de Vries who introduced the term "mutation," has two running versions. The red Hugo_standard was built by Joachim (jsturm) on an old Mendel, printed mostly in PLA, and intentionally made small to fit on his desk. The black Hugo+, built by KR2 and printed on a Prusa in ABS, features redesigned and improved parts compared to the original Printrbot by abdrumm. To print the STL files, check for issues first, then report any problems on GitHub. You can find the Hugo project's GitHub page, wiki (still under construction), and tutorial videos on YouTube. The OpenSCAD configuration files include Hugo_improved, pb_standard, Hugo_standard, and Hugo+, with corresponding STL files in zip archives. A brief description of variations can be found on the GitHub release page or within the config.scad and config folders. The recommended Hugo_improved is set up for HTD 3M belts and 12-tooth pulleys, with a larger X-axis distance compared to pb_standard (32mm vs 25.38mm). The Hugo_standard shares the same dimensions as the pb_standard but uses T2.5 belts and 20-tooth pulleys. The Hugo+ has major changes, such as a T2.5 belt and 12-tooth pulleys for the Z axis (diameter of 12mm) and an increased X-axis distance with default settings for a 300x300x300mm print volume. The pb_standard maintains similar dimensions to the Printrbot and can be combined with original parts, but may not fix existing issues due to some parts not fitting together properly. However, you can adjust part dimensions within the source files for customization.
