Description

This is just a modified version of RepRap Wallace thingiverse.com/thing:14208 by whosawhatsis thingiverse.com/whosawhatsis.
I've followed his instructions and altered the original thingiverse.com/download:56541 OpenScad file to be fitted with Nema17 motors and M8 rods.

The Reprap Wallace is now on github github.com/whosawhatsis/RepRap-Wallace

There is a video of an axis test using Marlin on youtube youtube.com/watch?v=0QrEmGlZT0w&context=C3f40eeaADOEgsToPDskJ7qwV6fvNjtb93W cpz_SHy

More documentation, pics, and video on the Reprap Wiki page: reprap.org/wiki/Wallace

There will be a build log of this version at thinkerit.blogspot.com

Instructions

[2012-03-12] Added MXL pulleys to the batch.
[2012-03-19] Added 100mm plates for smaller printers
[2012-03-23] After some "dangling edges" problem with idler_pulley.stl, I've uploaded again after imported and exported again in Blender, at least in Skeinforge the error is gone.

Hi Wisewolf, I saw that you build the frame with a 200mmx200mm build length but I cannot find the lengths of the M8 threaded rod and stainless rod you used to achieve that. did you post that somewhere? Yes I downloaded the scad file and realized how out of my element I am

Hi! This isn't my design, and never built one :-P.

The person behind the original design is whosawhatsis (http://www.thingiverse.com/who...

Do you think this would fit with Printrbot's X axis? (rods are M8)

I am going to print the base from Wallace, because it is more stable, and I need to know if some change is required :)

I really don't know, but yesterday this http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... showed up, it's printable feets, like they use in Printrbot LC.

Thanks for the upload :-) I'm finding that the 200mm plate doesn't slice with Slic3r, but the 100mm ones do, so will use those...

Actually, 100mm plate 2 didn't slice either, and the others came up with errors. Are there any particular settings (such as layer height) I should be using?

WOOH! the idler pulley.stl is very bad... Slic3r would not slice it because of "none manifoiled " and SFACT gave a lot of "dangeling edges" messages.... could you fix thit maybe?

Download it again, with skeinforged the error (dangling edges) has disappeared after one import and one export in Blender.

Give me some feedback, please :)

Please do post 100mm plates for those of us who don't quite have 200mm print areas.

And there you have it! :-D

I will do that in the next few days ;)

What settings for fill and inset do you guys recommend for this?

It looks like you could switch the X_end_right with the idler pulleys, slipping the X motor mount between X_end_left and X_carriage, and that would give you room to add the motor pulleys where the X motor mount currently is.

I've re-arranged in a similar way you've did in your 200mm plate setup, with minor changes, but there's something strange, in your openscad file there are 2 pulleys missing. I think i've exported all from the openscad file. Can you take a look please? Thanks ;)
