How much plastic do you need to print one? It looks like a lot of big parts that need to have a dense infill.

Hi
I like You design very much.
Is it Ok that I download Your Parts and convert it to Metric steel tube. You can get the parts from me and supply them as metric download if you want?

How do you calibrate the Eventorbot and what size hotend nozzle did you use
Thanks

Hi
Do you have a Part Number for the Geared
stepper motor for extruder
If you have it can you provide it
Thank you

If buying kit without the metal frame do you suggest this frame or the expansion print frame (http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

Hi,
Can you make some vidéo about mounting your hotend on head and tip for it ?
Tanks à lot!

Eventorbots first sibling, all the way from the UK. Created by: Richard Taylor

Very nice alterations.

- Add printed geared extruder to take a NEMA17 stepper.
- Add fan to bottom end cap.
- Make a hot end mount with aluminium L section and printed parts (for J-Head). - Use $2 plastic shelf mounts from IKEA for feet! (Great idea!) View images: http://www2.artaylor.co.uk/eve... Download blue print: http://www.artaylor.co.uk/even... 

Great design !!
I began building a eventorbot but i have a question : how did you adjust the Z axes starting position for head height ? 
I'm using an Mendel for now and this is an adjustement that's critical for setup the printer. Did you play only with the springs of the bed ?
Thank's

hello, i would like to give the dimensions of the hot-end nozzle
thank you

Today I sold my chainmail to order most of the set of plastic parts ..

Cannot see if I can buy all less the frame on kickstarter
(International ) ..Australia

What torque motor is optimized for the extruder?

Does your printer problem sticking to the first layer of the platform?

Hi, In Russia (where I live) do not square pipes of this size. Can the design of the printer to use the tube 60X60 or 80X80 mm mm?

Where are the instructions for the electronics?

Has anyone had trouble trying to find 16 gauge 2 1/2" tube steel?

I cant find it to save my life. Except on eBay and shipping is killing it....

Also Congratulations Duy on getting the Kickstarter total you have achieved so far...

Duy, I understand you may be busy but I have asked 2 questions recently and had no response. I have another, the 5/16 threaded rod and nuts. Are these UNF or UNC or BSW or ??? Hoping to hear from you soon.

I had a problem uploading bed_carriage_p2_p-013 to Ponoko.  The file had a non-manifold error.

I ran the original file through Netfabb repair.  It will upload now.

Thanks Eventorbot!

Eventorbot has met its funding goal!

Well, I'm speechless and overwhelmed with all the support. I will
like to say a BIG thank you for all the support, kind words, and to all
the backers. To be able to share and have your interest in something I
created is a great feeling. Everyone of you guys have made something
that was a big dream become reality. Eventorbot, as a 3D printer is now
going to happen! You will have no regrets in owning a Eventorbot, our machine will
be a strong contender.

Thank you... thank you... thank you...

Parts list shows :-

(1) Geared stepper motor for extruder. (more info soon). 

Do you have info on this yet as I would like to order it. I purchased the $285 package last week.

 Hi. Two quick questions before I invest..

I am new to 3d printing. Will ReplicatorG work (please advise settings) or if not what software should I use on a Mac?

Will your hotbed upgrade accept 20/240v input? I am in the UK.

Thanks.

For those who do not have access to a 3D printer. You can order the plastic parts and frame at: http://www.kickstarter.com/pro...

Hello Dewey/Mr. Eventorbot! I showed your printer to a colleague of mine and we have a massive laser cutter that can make the metal parts in bulk if interested. I just finished with converting everything to SAE as metric wasn't an option, and mine should be done soon. We are looking at doing it a bit different though, possibly with 14 gauge sheet metal cut into 'U' shapes x 2 with 6 smaller pieces that will complete the tube all the way around. The inside plates (top X, side Z, and bottom INSIDE the 'U') will be removable for easy access and assembly of parts inside the 2.5" square. I hope that makes sense! :). Hope to have video of something completed in next week or so...

when I try to take these stl files to shapeways to print them, they ask for the measure in the files - meters, inches or millimeters... should i assume millimeters by default?

Is there a better place to get these printed?

I wish there was a simple, DOWNLOAD ALL button LOL. Lots of parts

I just started looking into building my own printer when I ran into this. The design is definately in the right direction and most important "Wife approved". How about doing a kickstarter project for the frame?

Wow! Great work. What is your ultimate goal in pursuing the creation and reproduction of this open source 3D printer?

Hello there, I'm printing all the parts and can't print part 'x carriage part2_p008.stl'. There is an error in the file that won't let it slice in 'Slicer', and I ran it through Netfabb and it verifies a problem with it. The problem is trying to repair it doesn't work for me, any advice for this part or maybe new file that can help? Thanks much!

What is the purpose of the springs on the bed? Don't they effect the accuracy of the bed allignment if the printed item is heavier on one side?

1st tutorial, Metal frame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Looks like a great design but do you really need to post out spam comments to Youtube ? :(

Any reason why the metal frame can not be replaced by a printed frame with flanges at the corner to bolt together?

Just took apart the Eventorbot, for assembly tutorial video tomorrow.

Images: https://www.facebook.com/pages...

After you have finished the frame and have welded the corners together, you will also have to cut a 2.5" x 2.5" square on top of the frame (the corner caps will cover this corner).

Does anyone need a tutorial on how to cut the frame?

how much tolerance is needed? is it ok to do it manually? do you put template on part?

Would I be able to print a full 200mm in both x and y?

Awesome! Eventorbot is currently on the homepage of: http://makezine.com/

UPDATE:

Okay, so here is my current plans. I'm going to finish the tutorial videos and plans first (http://www.youtube.com/user/ev... should not take more then 3 videos). After that I will contact my metal company and see if they can use their plasma cutter to make the cuts and holes we need for our
frames.

For those who do not have access to a 3D printer. I have had experience making molds and using urethane plastic. I will try to make molds of the plastic parts and mold it with urethane plastic. This plastic is very rigid and durable, and is equal or better then ABS.

Note: For those who hav
e 3d printers. The main bed, that supports the linear rods will also be available, as many printers are not able to print it because of the size.

Is there a bigger build area one in the works for the future? To be able to use the standard mk1 hbp

What electronics are you using? It looks like a printrboard or sanguinololu hole pattern.

Nice job and good looking machine, how well is she printing and how fast?

File #28 "Hardware.skp" shows the locations of all the screws. Please use the free google sketchup software, to zoom and view in 3D.

Too many printed parts

PARTS LIST: reprap.org/wiki/Eventorbot

What electronics are you using? Base on the blueprint it doesn't look like you'd be able to fit some of the larger makerbot electronics or the power supply inside the frame. Awesome job!

Just uploaded the schematic for the frame (2nd file).

The SketchUp file didn't appear to use components and there weren't any components for Eventorbot on Google 3D Warehouse. Do you mind if I post them from the Blue_print.skp ?

Magnificent. Looking forward to STLs and instructions, in whatever order you end up posting them.

Wonderful design! Great use of simple square section steel. Is it welded at the bottom junction or bolted?

Are those panels lasercut or something else. you said tubes in descriptions. so there are pieces of tube?

As you requested, I would like the stl s and then while I am printing them I would be looking for the parts list.

Thanks...

I can work on the STL files or the parts list later tonight. Which one do you guys prefer first?

Thanks!

That is one solid, well-designed, and beautiful-looking printer. Best-looking one I've seen, in fact, after the 3D-One from Robot Factory. This is the next wave; no more skeletal erector-set-and-wooden-sheet contraptions. Tools, not toys!

I like the idea. I hope you will be able to upload the .stl files for all the printed parts. I have the metal working tools (Including a CNC plasma) to make the frame. So it would be a fun personal project.

That's one seriously industrial looking 3D printer. I bet it's indestructible. What does it weigh? How much did it cost to build? How well does it print?

VERY AWESOME!

Looks very sexy! It's about time we got some good looking printers.

That is an Awsome looking printer, nice job.
