Description

This thing is small! You can make this using a few laser cut parts and your MK4 extruder hardware. There are a few tweaks I need to make, but it's closer to the final design. For more information see my blog post charlespax.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/paxtruder-0-2 .

I used 5.5 mm, but you can use anything around that if you adjust where the timing pulley is along the shaft. Finding the best thickness is some research I have to do.

what thickness acrylic did you use? 4mm?

OK, so now that make a bit more sense. I thought I was doing something
wrong here. Or you provided the worst file in the world for a very cool
idea hhaha.. Anyhow thanks, hey toss me an email will ya?

Do you have the SVG files? For some reason DXF files usually import / open WAAAY bigger than what was actually intended for me in Corel Draw. I would just be using inkscape however no cutting driver for inkscape...

Thanks,

Riley

When you import the DXF what are your units? It should be in mm, but if you import in inches, the image would appear 25.4 times larger.

it almost looks like I could salvage the old plastruder parts to make this... what is the best way to cut acrylic? Might not be as clean but I think I could get close to the design.

Charles on Nov 2, 2009 said:

I've been using a laser cutter to cut my acrylic. I'll be coming out with Plastruder-to-Paxruder upgrade kit over the next few weeks. It's not very complex, so you should be able to make this with a saw and drill.

This is a great design. I love how compact and simple it is. Definately need to make one of these

This makes me want a laser cutter so bad!!! Nice job!

Charles on Oct 30, 2009 said:

Thanks. I've put a lot of work into this and I'm pleased with the results.

I don't know what's causing the image to not render as a thumbnail, but you can find the original image at http://thingiverse_beta.s3.ama...

Charles on Oct 31, 2009 said:

Fixed. I scaled the image to 1024x768 and uploaded that.

Charles, that is a very clean design, I love your idea of capturing the motor itself as a structural member.. this looks very promising.
