Hypercube MK2

thingiverse

Coming from a Tech2C's Hypercube, this is an attempt to merge the vitamins of a Prusa i3 MK2 into it. First move was to utilize the dual-Z drive to stabilize the print bed. Motors, rods, and bearings from the MK2 are being used for this. As a result, all STLs have been added to the project. The Hypercube features an aluminum extrusion height of 500mm, so I'm optimizing the space to use as much of the drive length as possible. I'm designing the parts so they're not dependent on four points but reduce to triangular where possible to enhance stability. Heatbed ---------- In a bid to reuse as much as feasible, I thought about using the main rod construction from the Prusa as a base for the heatbed. Maybe someday... You will need to print * 4x z-rod-ext-v3.stl * 2x z-motor-rod-mount.stl * 2x z-carriage-mount-v2.stl * 2x z-carriage-drive.stl From the Prusa, take six bearings, four rods (the longer ones). * 2x 290mm 2020 extrusion (like original Hypercube) * 2x 135mm 2020 extrusion (one more than Hypercube) The bottom motor and rod mount fit the heatbed mount. Update 20180223: added y-rod holder, never had much faith in the Tech2C, even when they did what they needed to do. It is a strong fit just by the rods; let's see if that is sufficient or if it wears out over time.
