About this 3D model
Mendel Angle project I started this project because I wanted to increase the printing height of my Mendel Legacy printer I wanted to change as little parts as possible, that's why I increased the angle of the down corners of the side triangles I did not change the Z motor mounds In this new set up it is neccessary to change the 4 down vertexes and the two top vertexes Because of the tilting of the two threaded rods the Y motor mount which is fixed on this rods has to be changed as well Futher ther are 4 longer threaded rods required. Starting point where the scad files from Josef Pra // josefprusa@me.com // prusadjs.cz // http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Prusa_Mendel // http://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel which are available from the RepRapPro organisation With file mendel_angel_project.scad I wanted to see the effect of a change in angle and increase in height In this scad file you can change the angle and the height increase I supplied 2 STL files mendel angle project_60 - gives the original Mendel Legacy situation mendel angle project_68 - gives the angle of 68 degr and additional height of 65 I took for my printer pls note for file mendel_angel_project.scad to work properly all files in the Zip file have to be in the same directory as mendel_angel_project.scad With netfabb Basic (STL viewer) it is possible to get the length of the threaded rods in that situation I also give the STL files of the items that have to be changed to go to the new situation
