Prusa i2 Revamp - Cubic Structure Conversion

thingiverse

I was frustrated with the standard Prusa i2 design and its limitations, mainly because when printing an object over 50mm high, the extruder gear would collide with the frame if homing the x-axis or near the edges. If you're dealing with a similar issue or want to convert your printer, I've been running this conversion for around nine spools of filament now and it's excellent. Rod lengths are provided as well; I used standard 5/16" threaded rod from my local hardware store (8mm would also work). There are also files included for a spool holder, which utilizes standard 608 skateboard bearings (two total), along with the same 5/16 (or 8mm) threaded rod. Required parts: - Prusa universal foot: quantity four - Three-way bracket: quantity four - Z-top support: quantity two - Z-top support two: quantity two - Z-support sleeve: quantity two - Rod butt joint: quantity two - Z-frame bracket: quantity two - Z-support 45 degrees: quantity four (I missed adding this in the original upload) Spool holder parts: - Spool holder: one of each side - Tapered washers: quantity two Please note that this is not a complete printer, as these are the parts needed to convert a Prusa i2 "triangular prism" design to the cubic structure shown. This also means that the CAD drawings don't represent a full and working printer.
