Mendelmin 1.0
thingiverse
The fully functional Mendelmin 1.0 is a great upgrade for Prusa i2 users with access to a laser cutter. With 230mm of vertical Z height, it's strong and rigid thanks to its aluminum extrusion frame and steel bracing brackets. The printer utilizes a mix of lasercut and 3D printed parts, but the original design's 3D printed components were replaced with laser-cut ones for better precision and strength. Updates include an extruder fan duct, rotated Plastruder assembly, and new RAMPS + Taurino Power case. The X carriage is specifically designed for MakerGear Stepper Plastruder, and the Z smooth rods reduce wobble. Metal brackets improve strength over printed ones. This project is still a work in progress, with plans to create 3D printable versions of laser-cut components, add compatibility for other extruders, and design a webcam mount. Recommended additions include T-slot nuts, a Y plate, fan guards, and a printable dial indicator. Based on dkennell's Aluminum Mendel, this is an impressive upgrade for Prusa i2 users with laser cutting capabilities.
