X-MOD for Prusa I3 MK3

myminifactory

I present my project for the Prusa "#pimpmyprusa" competition. The idea begins with the assumption that every proud owner of a Prusa 3d Printer eventually wants to modify it for personal use. LED, CAM, and switches are just some of the additions each of us has already made or at least thought about making to their printer. But one question keeps coming up: "Where can I install my idea on the printer?" That's why I redesigned the two X-end pieces to allow you to add the parts you want where they'll do the most good. I envisioned a modular system that lets me add more parts to the right or left of the extruder (X-End) and gives me the option to remove them when not in use. In the files, I added my switch for the Bluetooth remote control, which operates by moving the extruder at the end of each layer. The Gcode needs editing. The remote control controls the camera on your mobile phone, taking a picture of the object as it's being printed. Once you've converted those photos into a video, you'll have a beautiful timelapse of your creations. You can see mine here: https://youtu.be/KJ51ODifP-E I've already designed some parts for X-MOD like corners and extensions. But anyone can design the support their printer needs most. It's not hard to imagine Jo coming up with the same idea I'm thinking of now - adding a 3D scanner connected to the two X-Ends. Can it work?
