MendelMax 2.0 RepRap Printable version V2!

thingiverse

Experiment with the innovative MendelMax 2.0 from Makers Tool Works (http://www.makerstoolworks.com/). The DXF files for this printer are available on Github (http://github.com/Makers-Tool-Works/MendelMax-2.0/tree/master/Sources/dxf), which you can convert to STLs. The intention is to make the MendelMax 2.0 a true RepRap instead of just a RepStrap. Note that 3mm wasn't sturdy enough for most STLs; 6mm works better and the files have been updated to V2.0. Braces have been added where needed, and new files are provided. These aren't a finished product or official release but are available for experimentation purposes. Some pieces like electronics mounts and Z motor mounts have been braced and reinforced for added stability. The X-carriage and Idler arm may need to be thicker, so they've been scaled up to 6mm thickness. Also included are a modded MM2 Z bushing holder that fits a 10mm bushing or LM10UU linear bearing and a 22mm internal Diameter Clamp for Delrin nuts on the Z axis. Files are licensed under CC-BY-SA, but may be subject to change before official release. Follow assembly instructions on Makers Tool Works' website (http://www.makerstoolworks.com/support-and-docs/assembly-guides/) and replace laser-cut parts with printed ones. Recommended printing specifications include at least 40% infill, at least 3 shells, 0.2mm layer height, PLA filament, and a glass Y bed assembly. Report successes or failures for further improvement of the design.
