Printrbot Simple Metal - Printbed Upgrade

thingiverse

So I finally got around to more tweaking, swapping out the power supply for an up-cycled ATX power supply that fits perfectly. I hooked up the power switch, voltage and current meters and re-did the wiring completely which has really neatened things up a lot. I'm excited to share this update with you guys! UPDATE I've made some significant modifications to the swivel feet of my Printrbot, allowing it to tilt onto its side. No more awkwardly balancing the printer upside down in order to get to the board. Check out my project page here: https://hackaday.io/project/7083-printrbot-simple-metal-bed-upgrade I had the new printbed cut from 3mm and 4mm Aluminum and tapped the holes in the 3mm frame to make things easier. The new print volume is now a massive 270mm × 205mm × 140mm. A3 sized .pdf files are also uploaded, so be sure to take a look. As for the parts to be printed, I mostly used 0.2mm layers and 15% infill, but some structural parts had 20% infill instead. I'm still updating as I go along, so some of the parts here already have some of the errors fixed. Enjoy!
