Pfierce Robotic Build Platform ver1.0

thingiverse

The PRBP, derived from MBI ABP 1.0 and Printable ABP, enables continuous printing and transforms your bot into a desktop factory. Featuring a 100mm x 100mm build platform and a tensioner, it also retains your cool LEDs and the awesomeness of its teeth. The design was assisted by Twotimes (Aaron Double from DoCo Design) during testing. Get in touch with him if you require 8mm tubing for the platform or a new Kysan extruder motor. The Gcode is uploaded, ensuring prints are executed with fierceness. However, customization may be required based on individual setup. An update was made on April 7th to adjust side motor holes to slots, enhancing gear mesh and preventing slipping, stripping, or breakage. Additionally, the files have been reduced in size for better storage. The designer is also working on an extrusion catcher for this model. Assembling the Pterodactyl sides may require filing for a snug fit. M3 nuts should be inserted into captive nut holes, and M3 screws used to attach sides to the laser-cut build platform. The 20mm Kysan gear motor is placed in the motor mount and secured with M2 screws (sourced from old Sony products if available). The Pfierce plate fits into the Pterodactyl mouth, held by an M3x16 screw. A filament cleaner is created using a m3x4 screw, silicone tubing, and paper cuts. The heated build platform and heat spreader are attached with counter-sunk screws. A 0.005-thick Kapton belt is cut according to the printed template on 8.5 x 11 paper. Silicone tubing (100mm, 0D) covers two shafts using glue for stability. Bushing inserts go into belt tensioner blocks, followed by inserting a tensioning rod through side slots and securing with triangular tension blocks. Gears are placed on motor and front roller shafts, potentially requiring gluing for security. Adjust belt tension around the middle roller, ensuring it's secure and properly aligned. Shaft collars can be added to prevent shaft movement. Update skeinforge profiles with new Gcode, center the platform, and print a 20mm test box before attempting dual consecutive prints to unleash your printing powerhouse. These instructions are still under development.
