It was nice in 2013 , but now you have much better kits all in metal for cheaper than this project. I see it's been viewed, downloaded and added after all those years..it's a little crazy, right ? -Update 10/23/2014 : after a BIG github cleaning, updated all three plates and stlparts. new : linear guides holders update with screw pressing to hold them tight. no more zcoupler , as we had problem with it. we definitetly use vinyl coupler ( ID4:mm ,OD:6mm ) so cheap and good. -Update 09/01/2014 : all plates. debug : endX_jhead had wrong GT2 holder, plate_base had too tiny support for screw on Z axis, new bearing_clips on plate X . Had problem with endstops not well aligned with endX and endY part...etc. - Update 08/19/2014: all plates ! we go back to jhead lite by default. It's more easy to find and source and we have very good result with it. perfect fit. ( soon an option for regpye hot end for high end hot end at a nice price). We have now clamps for lm6uu to have better lock. New endY with 2 screws for a better lock too. Plates X and base have now GT2 holders by default. For other systems, see github. There's a new zip with all parts separated ! - Update 07/28/2014 : plate_1 updated : there was still problems with mirrored objects ( glass holders) . It's ok now - Update 07/17/2014: direct drive extruder was by default for brass insert gear ( 7mm), now it's back to MK7 ( more easy to find ). base plate has now a more solid base for Z rods and a hole to add a M3x10 to fix it more strongly. some little more changes... - Update 07/01/2014 : new plates ( all 3 ) : there was some mistakes in parts : bad side for printing, not good size for mk2 tensioners. Update also direct drive body for M4 nut.. stronger. - Update 06/19/2014 : version 049 become release! New: everything. It's an evolution of the 046 model with anti wobble system, 6mm rods, separated extruder, 200x200x160 print size, gt2 belt. - Update 03/12/2014 : all models. This is the synchro from the production model in github. New: globally , the model didn't change so much, but every part is touched by a more solid or more easy to assemble update. I can't detail all here, maybe github comits detail more what changes where made. This is the corresponding parts for the actual picture and soon to come documention on smartfriendz.com. Also the model used in assembly videos. - Update 02/13/2014 : BOM updated. - Update 01/17/2014 : Production update: all models changed..a little everywhere for better integration, assembly, stability. There's now an option for hot-end. end_x_jhead OR end_x_huxley for hot-end huxley type that will be used eventually in smartfriendz kits. - Update 01/05/2014 : fishingline_holders where missing in this version . Now they are back. sorry for the mistake. - Update 01/04/2014 : plate_base, plate_x, lm8holder_x : all about endstop switch attach. It was not very well working , not enough space. Now it's ok. - Update 01/02/2014 : all ends X Y : rod holes where too big. Now back to 8mm. - Update 12/29/2013 : jhead attach was missing. New plate_x : snap M5 with nuts was not right ( too big). - Update 12/20/2013 : new version: all updated ! Note you can find old version in the reorganized github in old folder. What's new : Structure now all printed. Auto leveling bed. new supports for easy to remove glass bed. new plate_x more stable. adjusted bearing holders. New video showing auto leveling bed : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k6T-Epg0EI - update 12/12/2013 : new plate_base. there was a mesh problem for slicing. This version works well here with repetier host and slicr3 - update 12/10/2013: Appologies!! there was a bug with plate_base: the bearing for extruder was always too far ( was 23mm diameter in my blender:( . Sorry about that. it's repaired now. Updated BOM also. - update 12/09/2013: plate_base: changed extruder positioning. Was a little too far to press the filament right. I think on a more adjustable solution back. If something's wrong we need to re-print the all plate_base: not good. - update 12/08/2013: new plate_x, thx to hwiguna feedback. was a bug on one of the bearing holders too tight and not aligned. - update 12/04/2013 : new plate_x : there is now a new smapping system to insert the M5 bolt . Really more easy to setup. - Update 11/30/2013 :** Version 0.4.5 : lot of changes again! what is new : 1- new linear bearing holders. old one was breaking. now it's separate holders and it's straight. 2- smaller base plate with reversed extruder. 3- fishing line tensioners.
