This is a post mount RAMPS/Arduino Mega Holder that can be used on an Adapto 3D printer or anything else that use 20x20 aluminum T-slot extrusions.

Corner for 20mm extrusions, bolt holes for 5mm bolts

Was building a Mendelmax and forgot the corners,

V-Slot Modular Framing System
=========================
###V-Slot is an Open Source, high quality extruded aluminum profile building block that has an extremely smooth linear v groove rail on all 4 sides. It's precise, easy to work with and allows you unlimited design control through it's modular nature.
V-Slot's building characteristics are much like traditional T-Slot but V-Slot then goes on to add new levels of functionality through it's internal v grooves that allow for linear motion.
V-Slot is compatible with readily available, off the shelf, T-Slot components!
###V-Slot easily and quickly allows for creating mechanical assembly's and motion control systems for just about any type of platform you can imagine!

#V-Slot Linear Actuators
##What are V-Slot Actuators?
######V-Slot linear actuators are modular building blocks for your machine ideas!
####They are made up of OpenBuilds V-Slot Aluminum Extrusion, a Mini-V Gantry System, and 2 End Mounts. This creates a low profile, high speed, belt driven linear actuator.
The V-Slot actuators are unique because the End Mounts contain mounting holes on both the back and bottom that allow connections to the Mini V Gantry Plate as well as V-Slot extrusion.

This is the same claw as thing 50433 ( thingiverse.com/thing:50433 ) but it is used to route your wires instead.

Wires can be routed with the claw fixed on the extrusion, due to its flexible top face.

This a simple way to attach something to your extruded aluminium profiles. It comes handy if your extrusions ends are blocked for some reason and you cannot slide a T-Slot Nut inside.
This should work on most of the printing settings. You should adjust the printing settings if you expect a certain resistance for the claws.
It has 3 holes ready for M3 taps. The middle hole locks the claw on the extrusion, the outer holes can be used to attach your object to the claw and to the extrusion.

Sketch.dxf included

A cheap monitor stand to clear up space on the desk taken by the stands.

The height and width is easily adjusted by using different length profiles.

The desk lamp was also attached to the frame to remove the large round base.

These 10mm Aluminum extrusion mounts are snapped onto the metal top of the Replicator2 frame. The extrusions are mounted all the way around the perimiter. Using more mini t-slots I can now bolt whatever I want to the printer conveniently.

As my design develops I will probably remove older files to add more current ones, I have done this several times already and several of my photos reflect old designs... but you'll get the idea.

All of the acrylic pieces are expected to change demensions as I work out the details... but the snap on replicator mounts are complete.

A dual spool holder allowing an easy swap of spools.

Not all the parts I designed will be used in the printer, but some might be useful to others.

These are for 30x30 extrusions with a 6 mm slot.

This is a leveling foot with a ball and socket for an 8mm SHCS.

This is an end cap for a misumi style 30x30 t-slot extrusion.

After looking at thing:41744 I thought it would be great for my TK-0 ( thing:31412 ) whenever I get around to finishing the openscad files for it. But of course, there were some changes that came to mind! I would like to use extra 8mm threaded rod and 608 bearings for this. Also, I wanted to try a slide in connection to cut down on vitamins!
Just a note, although this should work, it is unprinted and untested!

The design is the same as the original by blacky, i just redesigned in sketchup reducing the nut and washer hole and simplify the mesh for a better print.

My nut measures 8mm external diameter, and 3mm height. The washer is 9mm diameter and 1mm height.

I printed mine with PLA, .35 nozzle, .25 layer height and works good but if you want more strength reduce the layer h to .20. I sliced it with Slic3r

A T-slot mount for the MendelMax that allows the voltage converter to be mounted to a T-slot under the bed surface.

Hole measurements the same as Ultibot's design.

The initial version had M4 holes instead of M5 holes.

The version 3 STL files shoul work for M5-10 screws, while the V2.1 ones is suitable for M5-12 screws.

V2 changes:
Moved M3 holes further from extrusion. It also fixed the M5 hole sizes and added space for a washer.

V3 changes:
Widened extrusion mount to allow M5 screws to be installed after the converter.
Increased thickness of extrusion-side part - V2 was too thin for mounting with M5-10 screws.

Off-the-shelf T-slot nuts are incredibly expensive. So many have set out to replace those with printed parts, always replicating how those nuts work thus putting a lot of pressure on the printed nut.
With this thing, all load of the joint is put on a 1mm washer, held in place together with the M5 half-nut.
This substitute prints without support and should be sliced at 0.2mm layer-height. If sliced at a different height, chances are it won't fit.

This part served as a T-Slot nut substitute for my MendelMax build, using uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/837-234/ nuts and uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/525-931/ washers together with KJN extrusions.

The OpenSCAD file contains part of Catarina Motas Shape Library: svn.makerbot.com/users/hoeken/openscad/shapes.scad

Same functionality than previous version. Fixed for new openscad syntax.

The previous version do not compile properly on the new OpenScad.

Due to popular demand I present the "T" version of my no drill vertex for the MendelMax. Can be used for other extrusion projects that require a "T" intersection. I have not test printed this part thus it is marked as a work in progress.

A top vertex designed so you do not need to drill a hole for a blind tap.

multi- digital fabrication machine for the studio(…hence the name: studio.FAB)
some of the functions I’m including in the design:
_3D printing
_CNC/milling
_thin material cutting (fabric, vinyl, paper, cardboard, etc)
_plotter for inks, paints, graphite


now I know a lot of the all-in-one devices fall victim to the “jack-of-all-trades-but-master-of-none” syndrome (I’m looking at the bloated printerscannercopier that’s sitting on Robin’s desk…). that’s why the studio.FAB isn’t exactly an all-in-one machine – instead, it’s more of a modular design that allows you to quickly and easily (…and I’m emphasizing that quick and easy part) switch the appropriate parts for the kind of making you want the machine to do. for example, if you want to move from 3D printing to CNC milling, it shouldn’t take you more than 10min. to swap out the belts and pulleys for a lead screw.

the studio.FAB is based on the open source RepRap platform. I’m using 25mm extruded aluminum (t-slot) for the structural framework because it’s more stable and rigid than using threaded rod. also, I’m designing it with an inverted-T structure (shared by other machines like the Aluminum Mendel, Rook, and Brian Blanton’s unnamed printer) – I think this makes it much easier to upgrade and swap out components when moving from one fabrication method to another (also: easier access to all the parts for repairs.)
one key difference b/w studio.FAB and most of the other machines I’ve seen is how linear motion is handled. the majority standard is to use a combination of smooth rods and bearings to get smooth motion, but (esp. on longer rods) smooth rods can flex, bend, and get out of alignment. I’ve designed the studio.FAB to use the much less flexible t-slot as the linear bearing. this is less critical when printing plastic, but can be an issue in subtractive processes like milling.

I’ve been making steady progress, and right now I’m close to having all the core structural elements designed and built. I’ve had to design all the parts from scratch; even when I’ve had to reverse-engineer some derivative designs that use a different size t-slot, I found different solutions that seem to work better in this design.
once things are in a publishable state, I plan on writing up a pretty extensive overview of studio.FAB – followed by detailed instructions and a bill of materials so you can build your own. right now though, I just wanted to make sure you got a small glimpse at what’s been happening in the studio for the past few months.

definitely more to come, including:
_ linear bearings for t-slots

Another idea for a foldable reprap :)

I'm working on the XY platform for now, as it could be used in several assembly, then will make the scissor-Z which will be most of the work I guess (contributions to firmware adaptation will be more than welcome !)

This is the filament spool we are using on our AO-100 MendelMax variant printer. The spool mount takes the place of one of the top vertex frame parts. You will also need a length of tubing to guide the plastic to the hot end. The tubing is attached to the feed tube support with a small zip tie.

The spool is meant to hold an unspooled 5lb coil of filament.

The spool mount can also be used to mount a spool of plastic using a threaded rod and spool hubs.

Source files can be found at download.lulzbot.com/AO-100/hardware/printed_parts/source/

**Update** New revision of the spool mount which now includes a break to keep the spool from over spinning. Use a M4 screw to mount the friction nub.

This is a reversable hold-down clamp used on work surfaces with t-slots. Use with thin work pieces one way, or flip around to fit thicker stock. This is based on a collection of different clamps I've seen while browsing woodworking tool retailers.

These will accept an M3 nut and then drop into the slot in a 20mm profile t-slot aluminum extrusion (incl. MakerSlide). No need to slide in and out from the ends of the extrusion! Insert a screw and turn clockwise to tighten and it will turn 60° to lock in place. Turn counterclockwise to loosen and it slips right out of the slot. I have only tested it with 20mm and 25mm profiles, but it's parametric, and should work with any profile larger than 20mm. If you find settings that work well for other profiles, let me know and I'll update the files.

These are modules for developing your own linear motion solutions for extruded aluminum

A multi-purpose clip which secures to the MendelMax frame with no hardware.

This is a very small, simple clip used to hold a spool to 80/20, misumi, or other t-slot rail.

a common t-slot aluminum extrusion profile: 25mm x 25mm @ 30mm height.

when designing my new printer, I needed a way to compare the size of the extrusions I wanted to use, so I whipped up this quick little sketchup drawing.

you might find this useful if you want to get a hands-on comparison of how a 2525 size exists IRL...
