Cutie Bot

large_preview_CutieBot.JPG

Hi Everyone, this is Reprap I am currently working on in my spare time for fun. It is loosely based on the mechanics of the Printrbot, with the X axis of the Prusa Mendel. I basically took what I liked from both RepRaps and redesigned them to fit my needs and to use a 4 start 8mm leadscrew.

Story behind the printer:

Ever since my son was born he has loved seeing my 3D printer go back and forth and make things. My very first printer was a Printrbot with a huge 80mm blue LED fan on the x carriage and it would fascinate him. Now that hes a little older, I wanted to design a printer that was simple yet fun, while utilizing some modern improvements to 3D printing.

I am actively working on this printer so posting files as I tinker and go along.

Thanks,

Ryan

**Notes

The Pulley on the X axis uses a 5mm screw + pulley I will upload a pic of this as I add more files and get them printed.

The Spacing between the X carriage is the same as a Prusa Mendel i2 so its compatible with most Prusa X carriages and upgrades 🙂
