School project adaptation of a professional 3D printer to open source components

An out-of-service Stratasys Dimension SST 1200ES was revived using open-source hardware and software, with the aim of keeping costs low. The provided files detail the necessary parts for attaching RepRap extruder components to the original printing head, as well as components to hold an open-source filament spool and a RepRap heating bed. Additionally, there is space for a control card, power supply, screen, and SD card reader. As of 12/03/16, the printer can move along all axes but endstops are not yet wired. A flat bearing was 3D printed to hold spools (requiring 30x8mm steel balls and 6 rubber feet). A subsequent update on 01/04/16 revealed that pressure against the filament wasn't sufficient for extrusion, and occasionally a motor would stop working, possibly due to overheating drivers set at high speed and acceleration.
