MendelMax 2.0 RepRap Printable version V2!
I'm experimenting with the fantastic new MendelMax 2.0 from http://www.makerstoolworks.com/
I've taken the DXF's available here:
http://github.com/Makers-Tool-Works/MendelMax-2.0/tree/master/Sources/dxf and Made (and modified) STL's with the intention of taking the MM2.0 back towards being a true RepRap instead of more of a RepStrap.
[NOTE: 3mm wasn't sturdy enough for most STLs - 6mm works lovely for the most part, files are now sized and updated to V2.0,
Braces have been added where needed as well as a few new files...]
These are neither a finished product nor an official release, they are purely here for anyone like myself that wishes to experiment with a 'more printable' version of the MM2...
Both the Faceplates and the Y bed plate are oversized for a standard sized print bed (by a large margin, I'm afraid) - but everything else will fit nicely. If (for whatever reason) you have a machine capable of printing these, I would seriously recommend Z scaling all of these to at least 8mm thickness.
[EDIT: Printable Y-bed plate now added - not as rigid as Alu, but works well in experimentation - i've yet to see if it warps over time though - be warned!]
A few pieces like the electronics mount, and Z motor mounts have been braced and handed for added stability.
Still to do are the upper and lower triangles (though they don't seem to need it as yet)
I found that the X-carriage and the Idler arm need to be a little thicker and so I've scaled those up to 6mm thickness (like most of the STL's)
Furthermore, I've included a modded MM2 Z bushing holder that'll take a 10mm bushing, or LM10UU linear bearing (might need a dab of glue depending on your printer accuracy)
Also a 22mm internal Diameter Clamp that i'm using for my round (standard) Delrin nut on the Z axis as it may be of use to someone eventually...
Now also included are the files for an X-carriage based on RichRaps Quick-fit type.
These files are CC-BY-SA, but be aware that until the MM2 is officially released this may be subject to change at a later date.
