More of my RepRap blog! I’d love to at least catch up to covering last year’s Makerfaire (Makerfaire NY 2013) before this year’s Makerfaire, which is at the end of this week (on September 20 & 21, 2014). That won’t be this post, but the more I post, the closer we get.<\/p>\n

Having just given the Museum of Science the RepRap I made for them<\/A> in the last post, I was now free to work on my 2nd RepRap for myself (the same model – a Prusa IT2, to go along with my first original (Sell’s) Mendel). Luckily I’d started it before the handoff, so it was easier to get working on it.<\/p>\n

I found another picture of cut and ground rods, although to be honest I can’t remember whose those are.<\/p>\n

They look slightly rusted, which I’m confused by because at this point I had my grinder and would have cleaned them off. They’re not for my RepRap since its frame was already built. Maybe Joe Werther’s? Too many RepRaps – I’m losing track. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I had tried designing a version of the OpenX carriage for the Prusa IT2 since I liked removing the carriage easily. I printed these out, but I don’t think I ever used them:<\/p>\n

Anyway, continuing my frame assembly, I added the bottom rod and top rods, with the z-motor-mounts and bar clamps.<\/p>\n

It was time for the bed..<\/p>\n

Here was a note I made to myself about how to attach the LM8UU holders beneath the bed:<\/p>\n
