any idea on where i could get these printed out ? I really wanna build one. anyone wanna hook a brotha up with some printed parts for the low low ?

I tried to print the E-body.stl part but it contain an hole and also the service of netfabb is not able to repair... anyone has a working version of this part?

is there a laser version of this, i can cut a majority of it out on my laser and buy the rest?

Does the big extruder included here work on the extruder for the Printrbot LC? It looks the same, but I want to double check.

I have looked at the instruction site and and can not find a material list for this printer for all non printed parts? It lists the BOMs for the Jr, Plus, and Laser Cut but not the original?

What is the maxiumum size of the printed parts? i am trying to run a little bit of a kickstarter where i promise to give all the contributors the printer's printed parts (try to say that 10x quickly!) and i want to know if i can print another Printrbot jr from the first...

ESmgr1.stl (small extruder gear) is printing mirrored which will not mesh with E-Lg-gear.stl (large extruder gear). Is anyone else having this problem?  

If you need anything for a Printrbot, or would like a bigger Printrbot version, I sell them. My website does not have much listed on it, but you can check out my new Printrbot extended on eBay, or email me for info at info@japica.com. My new versions takes care of all the current issues with the Printrbot design, and I have been printing at 250 mm/s on the new extended version for the past week with no issues and high quality. 
website is www.japica.com

So, what would I need to buy, in addition to these, to upgrade my printrbot jr to a printrbot?

For anyone who's been trying to build a Printrbot Original - I put together a build platform template for this Printrbot (6" x 6" build area) - check it out here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

Sorry, not really an answer to your question, but I highly recommend ditching the herringbone gears and using normal straight-tooth gears:

http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

There's no justification for using herringbone gears in this application (apart from looking kind of cool but I doubt that should be a priority :) ).

Do you plan to sell a vitamins kit of non-printable parts? I would love to make a printrbot and I have access to a 3d printer but I'm not eager to search for all of the parts. I'm sure many other people would be interested in it as well because it would make it easier for people to replicate their machines.

Where is the change log between V1, V2 and V3 ?!

One cant just upload, without telling the differences :-/

Hey, does anyone know the source file and parameters for the extruder's herringbone gears?

Does anyone have the new pb-X-motor stl with the two new endstop attachments as seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
&
amp;feature=relmfu ?

Has anyone managed to put one of the plastic kits together yet, and get it working? I've got it fully assembled mechanically, but not sure where 2 of the endstops / the thermocouple should be mounted, since that step's missing on youtube.

is it just me, or is Base-w-endstop-mnt.stl bigger then the version of the base sent out with the kickstarter.

I then thought the kickstarter one might be pb-Base.stl or V2, but neither of these seem to have the endstop mount. The kickstarter one i got does though.

Any ideas?

THANKS, I love that I can print off spare parts for my printrbot. Came out perfect! Thanks.

How about the STL for pb-X-Carriage-w-Z-endstop.skp?

(if I get desperate I'll install Sketchup, but not in a hurry yet) :)

Brook, its a PITA to download all these things, any chance of putting version collections in zip files?

ie your original collection of parts into pb-V1.zip, ALL the unchanged parts plus the new ones (or just to new ones?) into pb-V2.zip etc.

Either here or at Printrbot.com.

It would be a godsend.

Now that I've got most bugs ironed out I'm going to start replicating soon :)

Hi I am trying to finish my Kickstarter printrbot and I am finding that some printed parts are smaller than they should be. Right now, I am trying to fix the large toothed wheel that has a hex shaped hole for the head of the machine screw. Well the hole is significantly smaller than the head of the screw. Should I try to carve out the material of the hole or print a new part? (I got a Cupcake) If print, is the part available? thanks, Jose Rodriguez

i would go back to the V1 for the x motor mount, with the version here it is very difficult to mount all four screws to hold the motor on there simply isn't enough room

I am watching the build videos. GREAT! I've got early parts printed. Where are the small additions to glue/screw attach to make version one version 2? *DONT_KNOW*

Is the bill of material missing some screws? I don't see anything that would be used to attach the extruder motor to the extruder. It should be an M3, but 8mm is too short and 16mm is too long. I noticed it because I got my "reprapper kit" from kickstarter and am putting it together. There is nothing included that works to attach that stepper motor.

Another version of the y-bearing holder would be helpful for people who are using manufactured pulleys. The pulleys which will fit need to be smaller than .9" and pulleys with those specs can be relatively expensive.

Do you sell the heated build platform?

Hello,

I invested in the basic kit and now wish to complete the project. Do you offer partial kits to finish out the basic kit?

Thanks
Ralph Brooks

Brook,

I've been wondering how you guys are tightening the bottom two bolts on the x-motor. It's a hard bolt to access. Do you guys use a special tool?

The printrbot store is now open! http://printrbot.com

So I can print printrbots with printrbots and resell them and make millions?! 8-) HAHAAA

Has anyone got the printrbot in SolidWorks format? or step? Thanks.

any chance that you will be posting the files for the laser cut or printrbot+?

although not technically reprap, i still love the design and want to try it out with clear or coloured acrylic.

It would be nice if the bearing guide 1/4" to 1/2" taller. Currently the belt has to go at an upward angle to attach to the clamps. This might cause the belt to rub against the top of the bearing guide.

Okay, now I'm getting impatient, can't wait to get my hands on plastic parts now!

If only the LC plans were available, then I could at least do something!

Nice job Brook

Regards,
Lerche

Hi I was wondering if you will be selling the printrbot kit with out printed parts like you did on kickstarter. Also will there be education discounts?

Concerning rod lengths and the laser cut print bed: Since we are waiting for delivery of the 6x6 heated beds, we are forced to use the 8x8s on the bot farm. It is a really tight squeeze and we can't print on the full area - only about 6x7. The 6x6 will allow us to make the laser cut wood print bed much more narrow and even move the sides in to more closely resemble the original pictures of the Printrbot. I will post our laser cut print bed versions for both the 6x6 and the 8x8 configurations, including all the rod lengths that should accompany them. Essentially, this will amount to the original Printrbot and a plastic version of the Printrbot+Plus

peace,

Brook

Hi Brook, congratulations on the success!

I'm printing one of the plates out, and notice that the shoulder in the nut trap on the x-motor and x-idler brackets that the nut sits on is painfully thin. The x-axis is supported by these, and I measure the shoulder at a mere 0.8mm on the x-idler - just two layers at 0.4mm layer height. It's a l
ittle thicker on x-motor, but still only 1.3mm thick. It is the same on the new v2 files. Please consider making the shoulder a bit deeper; I wouldn't want to push down on the x-axis too hard for fear of breaking this.

Also, there was a mention in this blog back in November http://blog.reprap.org/2
011/11/around-reprap-community-11062011.html that Neil Underwood was converting your Sketchup files to Openscad. Has work progressed on this? If not, I would be interested in helping out with the conversion.

Hey Brook, could you upload the dxf files for your lasercut version of the printer?

Thanks!

"OVER 8000 TOTAL DOWNLOADS!!" I see only 500-850 on the left side.

Another (hopefully final) correction:

Smooth rods should be:
2 - 10 1/4" or 260mm (z bars)
4 - 13 3/16" or 335mm (y bars for 214mm sq heated bed and x bars for 305mm base)

Thanks so much for the picture and information! Can you please confirm which size Heated bed this would accomodate? It looks like you put in the 214mm Prusa plate (~8in).

Can anyone help make a rod cut list for different size printrbots? I would like to make one to support the standard size 8" heated bed.

I think it would also be nice to have a cut list for the 6" heated bed.

I think I can help ;). The store will be online soon. After seeing the parts for sale for $90 elsewhere, I will be celebrating our store opening with $49 all-plastic kits. I will give it a shot for 30 days at least. I am working to get the price even lower - the dream is $25 for a set of plastic parts. Someday!

Ok new here and would really love a 3d printer. SO can anyone build one of these things and if so how do i get past the chicken and egg position of needing to print some parts to make a printer.

Amazing design really looking forward to building one if thats ok. :-D

Check out a more complete parts list from the Printrbot forum: http://www.printrbottalk.com/f...

Will the pieces that make up the extruder head by uploaded as well, or are they are standard part? If so where...?

Hello everybody,

I want to ask if you have any suggestions where can I buy the smooth rods? Preferably somwhere in Czech Republic or nearby.

Great job, just finished printing all parts. Could you please provide file for laser cut print bad.

Thank you and best regards...

Thanks for the list. A couple more things are needed to be able to print all the files. What kind of belt is it? XL, MXL, T5, T2.5, other? And belt width? Someone mentioned Greg's accessible extruder parts, but what hot end mount does it need?

Thank you abdrumm from Spain! :)

Hi Brook,

will you release the design of the electronics as well?

I'd like to build the printrbot including the electronics myself. :)

(The only thing I don't think enough self confident to build is the extruder so far. But maybe even that can be possible if some part can be bought.)

I just uploaded my assembly - Red really stands out. It is not complete with hot end yet. And its missing some fasteners... but its a good start. I even cleared up a few lines and put the correct size bars on there.

Enjoy,

Brook

Awesome! This looks great, can't wait to build some bolts.

It uses LM8UU's for all of the axis. The z-bearings are friction fit.

I'm curious what is holding the Z axis LM8UU bushings in place, maybe it's just a tight fit?

It would be kinda cool to see the x rods cut into the LM8UU holes and lock the bushings into place. They would need to be a few mm further apart for that

:-D I am wondering if or when the laser cut files will be shared?

Hi Brooks! I am a backer too. Thank you very much for sharing. I am eager to receive my printrbot!!

I am missing the motor pulleys among the parts you've uploaded. Are the same than the prusa?

Thank you for sharing.

I prefer the version from whosawhatsis (RepRap Wallace) because it's parametric and designed with the OpenSource software OpenSCAD.

I already printed and built my version of Wallace and were important for the possibility to choose different rod sizes and motors on the parametric files...

Made an assembly of the parts posted here. The pb-X-Motor.skp is actually an stl file, but the rest was made from the sketchup files. Doesn't look like I can attach the sketchup file it self but here's a picture.

can i get the firmware working with printrboard? i made PCB and board but sprinter and marlin from github didn't work.

Hey Brook!

I downloaded only the skp files and imported them into sketchup 8. All were fine except pb-x-Motor.skp. It gave an error message. I loaded it into a text editor and found it's not a skp file it's an STL! Imports fine as an stl but oops I wanted all the skp files! I scaled it by 1/25.4 and it seems to be right but only you know for sure.

This is gerat, Brook. Can't wait for the laser cut + files... I've got my laser all primed and ready for them. :-)

As a backer I am proud to see them released to the wild. Nice one Brook.

The upload speeds from Mexico must be good :)
BMS

Congratulations Brook, you have my Ideal Job :)

Best wishes for all the 3D printer craziness.

Note that it's very important to get precision ground, hardened rods that fix the bearings with zero slop. Otherwise, you'll end up with a lot of wobble and a bad experience overall.

This should be all the printed parts necessary?:

2 - pb-Base.stl

1 - pb-Y-BarEnd-x4.stl

1 - pb-Y-Bearing-Gu...stl

1- pb-BeltClip-x2.stl

1 - pb-X-Idler.stl

1 - pb-X-Motor.stl

1 - pb-X-Carriage.stl

1 - pb-Xtruder-Mount.stl

+ Greg's accessible extruder parts

+ Nophead's coupling

The things which are on the end of the smooth rods are the Y-BarEnd right? The designs look different than what's in this picture: https://secure.flickr.com/phot...

Very NICE.

I have been looking forward to seeing this. Congratulations on the highly successful kickstarter!
