About this 3D model

The is Chaucer, a vertical 3d printer derived from Dave Kennell's pocket printer at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:19891# Like the Pocket Printer, the Chaucer frame is constructed with 20x20 and 2x60 Misumi extrusions. It is modeled after a vertical milling machine. A light and fast print bed moves on the X-Y axis via stepper motor timing belt drive trains. The print head, or extruder is heavier, and moves on the Z-axis via a lead screw drive train. A few sample parts have been uploaded to this Thingiverse site.
