About this 3D model

Preliminary design for a standrad Mendel Prusa printer. Design goals: * Combine printer, PSU, RAMPS controller and LCD+keypad into on box. * Allow printer to be easily put in and out of box (top bar can be unscrewed to allow printer to be taken out/in). * High visibility on printing process (plexiglass windows surrounding machine). * Easy access to print platform and end-stops (hinged flap on front, semi-attached flap on the back. * As air tight as possible to keep toxic ABS fumes enclosed and stabilize temperature control. * Don't use toxic air to cool PSU and controller. * Integrate spindle holder on machine (with multi-extruder/spindles as option. Design was done keeping in mind standard wood pieces and plexiglass. FreeCAD is used to make the design.
