Robo3d R1 Titan

thingiverse

This is the Robo3D R1 Titan, heavily inspired by The Robo Beast designed by dbefore on Thingiverse. To expand my build height without breaking the bank, I opted for a modular approach using smooth rods and lead screws. My current setup features 700mm smooth rod & lead screws, but this design can easily be extended to 1000mm or more. To replicate this project, you'll need: * Two sets of Robo3D Zspacer left and right printed in 3D. * Two 10-foot lengths of 1/2 inch PVC pipe from Lowes or Home Depot ($2.50 each). Choose the thick-walled version. * Two smooth rods measuring 8mm x 700mm (approximately 30 inches) made from stainless steel, available on Amazon or AliExpress. * Two lead screws with a pitch of 2mm, a lead of 4mm, and a length of 700mm. Opt for the $12 option on AliExpress to save money. * Four extra nuts and bolts. I used what I had on hand. Optional: Z-axis stabilizers of your choice will help ensure a smooth build process. Assembly: 1. Swap out the smooth rods with drop-in replacements, being careful not to damage the bearings. 2. Replace the tiny 300mm lead screws with longer ones. There are many tutorials available online. 3. If you purchased 700mm parts, cut the PVC pipe into 16 x 11-inch sections. 4. Bolt everything together, saving the top for last. 5. Perform a function test and then lengthen all of your wires according to your specific requirements. This project is still in development, but I've shared a video walkthrough on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SYheT68ZnDg. How I Designed This: I broke down the design into multiple parts using Meshmixer. Next, I uploaded these parts to Tinkercad for modification and merging.
