Prusa I3 Extruder + Laser X-Carridge

thingiverse

This is a custom cartridge for a Prusa I3 3D printer with a hot end and cutting/engraving laser. It fits perfectly into the rods and bushings that are specified in the original Prusa build plan. I'm using an E3D V6 Hotend as my extruder, but any other extruder will work just fine. The main body also features the standard hole pattern for Chinese diode lasers, and extra holes can easily be drilled if needed. Laser Safety is extremely important: Lasers are a fantastic tool that can be lots of fun to watch, but never ever look at them without proper laser goggles. Even reflections can instantly blind you. Always wear your PPE 100% of the time. Here's what you'll need to print: * 1x Bearing Holders * 1x Mounting Plate * 1x Bushing Guide Top * 1x Bushing Guide Bottom * 2x Bearing Filler (if using 5mm ID bearings) * 1x Hot End Brackets And here's what you'll need to purchase: * 1x E3D Hot End * 2x MR 105 ZZ Bearings * 4x M3 Cap Head 14mm Screw * 12x M3 Cap Head 35mm Screw * 14x Washer 5mm OD, 3mm ID * 11x M3 Locking Hex Nut * 1x Mk7 Filament Gear * 1x NEMA 17 Stepper Motor * 1x NEMA 17 50:1 Gearbox * 1x Engraving laser (0.5w min, 2.5w+ recommended) * 1x Laser Goggles (Seriously important - don't blind yourself)
