My latest trend is to identify the easy-to-print pieces and get them out of the way, so I can worry about complex parts later (and address those either via slower printing and a hotter raft, or an eventual heated bed, or by printing those with PLA). So Friday night I churned out 11 parts:
Friday
Lots of parts.
y-bar-clamp_10off
also y-bar-clamp_10off
x-axis-side-plate-nut-jig_2off
I tried at least one other piece but without immediate success, since it’s one of the (many?) pieces whose default rotation is crazy.
This unusable piece basically printed upside down:
Went to bed, got like an hour of sleep, and took Cara to baby gym class. That means it had become Saturday.
Saturday
Printed out a bunch more parts today. I’m running out of “easy” parts. I think I’ve now completed 53 pieces.
y-belt-clamp_2off
again, y-belt-clamp_2off
z-driven-pulley_2off, top view
z-driven-pulley_2off, side view
z-drive-pulley-rim_4off still on the raft
Pieces of the sandwich of two rims and a pulley
The sandwich of two rims and a pulley. That looks so damned cool.
Nice clean x-motor-bracket-spacer_2off piece
x-motor-bracket-spacer_2off . RepRap building sure does seem to inspire a lot of pictures of looking through things. 🙂
bed-spring_4off
bed-spring_4off again. Far stronger than my earlier opto spring attempt!
x-carriage-belt-clamp_2off
circuit-board-bracket-m3_4off (4th one was still printing)
Here’s a picture of just the parts from Saturday:
..and here’s all of the parts I’ve printed so far:
All of the parts I've printed for my Mendel RepRap as of 12/19/2009
The parts that make this machine are very nice, but it is a pity that the finish of the parts is not too good
That gear is so cool!
a little uncharitable i think. i think its a fine start! keep at it jeff, can’t wait to see the completed builder.
I think this is very cool. I say printed texture is the new “black”.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
