prusaprinters

<p>Update: Mount revisited, improved for more tightened fit.</p> <p>Attachment for X cariage of Prusa i3. Implement autoleveling idea showed by @mjrice in <a href="http://community.reprapwilson3d.com/t/a-new-way-to-probe-the-print-bed-bed-leveling/66">this post</a>. Pinion made for optical endstop.</p> <p>On my printer, X axis homing in maximum position, so I make some changes in firmware, fix mistypes and stripout some unnecessary Z movements.</p> <p>New code available on <a href="https://github.com/TheLongRunSmoke/Marlin">GitHub</a>.</p> <p>Video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oGu_tTZrfE&amp;list=PLQpNCGPcZzhCeEAUmyXcjusHLJYsjQ_U2">one</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewDQ7VfJw8o&amp;list=PLQpNCGPcZzhCeEAUmyXcjusHLJYsjQ_U2">two</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>RepRap</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa i3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>30</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Support not needed, because parts has inbuilt one.</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
