Description
Solid Works Drawings of a Mendel that is all metal, uses linear bearings on all axis and dual belts on X and Y to cope with extra weights involved.
This printer was started as a result of my friends astonishment of what i was able to make using a cordless drill and a hacksaw. my repstrap didn't sit flat or square it wobbled, i used lead screws to drive all the axis' as a result it was slow best speed i could get was 1000rpm ~650mm/min, but at that speed the frame wobbled and the resulting prints had waves in 6 different directions :P

the solid works drawing has two x/z carriages in it as i was trying to work out the best way to mount the motor, one is horizontal this is my preferred option and what i have ended up implementing although the actual printer is a little different and i will up date the drawings to reflect the final product more accurately
