Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
90% printed reprap
Description
with this project i'll try to print most non printable reprap parts
Instructions
the structure will be like mendelmax mendelmax.com/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=MendelMax
kickstarter.com/projects/openrail/openrail-open-source-linear-bearing-system
docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao-fptzJAVfGdDdnd3htckhZUVdWUTdvRnJQUE JrMUE&hl=en_US#gid=0
the weight of single part 2x2x11cm is 20g with 3 perimeters and 80% infill and take about a our to complete (75mm/s)
with this settings the total weight of all plastic extrusion for mendelmax are 900g (about 17€)
for make a complete bar we need 3 pieces (60g of PLA) and 8 pins for joints
according to this docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao-fptzJAVfGdDdnd3htckhZUVdWUTdvRnJQUE JrMUE&hl=en_US#gid=0 i have made different type of extrusions, 4x 105mm = 420mm extrusion and so on :)

Really a challenging project !!
replace fasteners is possible but you have to change the design solutions. prefer clips instead of screww/nuts, issue of clip is that needs accurate dimensions. I'll follow your project for sure !

Beautiful as I was going to make some extrusion aluminum parts too but now I don't need to though I wonder how strong it is.

Awesome, I've been meaning to try this but my printer has been occupied with making Prusa parts. Very excited to see the results.

Hi, its been awhile since you posted so was just wondering how your progress was going. I am working on a similar project and figured I would share with you how I am tackling this. I want to print structural tubes for building frames with like pvc pipe green house frames but with the strength that can be done by controlling the internal structure inside the pipe. I am going for 16"-48" lengths. I see the benefit of your track rail set up for attachment points. I did a quick sketchup mock up of how I intend to modify a prussa to the task.
I post my ideas at a board I am trying to spread reprap awareness on have a look at the 9th post for the sketch up screen caps. http://forums.adamvstheman.com...
hy, the links you post are in manteniance, i think is great project, i'm going slowly because not much time to spend in the project, i'll wait forr see photos, thanks for sharing :D :D
