I3-R , the cheap I3 MK2 Remix

thingiverse

The i3-R is a bold remix of Josef Prusa's excellent i3 MK2, but the worry was it fell outside my budget and obtaining the original 3D print files was virtually impossible because the parts that fit together are not standard and therefore either very expensive or unavailable at retail! That's why I created the i3-R, fully compatible with standard parts found everywhere! Post-Printing An inductive sensor for auto-leveling with nine-point probing on an aluminum plate eliminates the eternal struggle of adjusting the plate before printing. The printing fan is controlled by Ramps 1.4. A ventilated electronic housing is designed specifically for the Ramps 1.4. A power socket is specially designed for standard power supplies and plugs. Structural reinforcements feature the power supply on one side and a threaded rod on the other. Original LED lighting shines bright! True linear bearing fixings are in place! Revised and corrected LCD fasteners, designed specifically for the standard LCD "Reprap Smart Controller", clip securely to the threaded rods without zip ties. All of this is available at the price of an i3 Chinese kit (approximately 300 euros), with only a small risk of customs fees because we will order parts from retail for better quality and more features!
