Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
Ultra-Bot 3D Printer
Description
The Ultra-Bot 3D Printer is a beautiful printer inspired by the original Makerbot Cupcake. The changes over the original Cupcake are numerous, however, following the same instructions, it should be easy to figure out. The Ultra-Bot utilizes a design similar to the Cupcakes X/Y stage to move the extruder over a build platform that raises and lowers on the Cupcake style Z-Stage. The Z-Drive is inverted and tucked in the lower portion of the printer to make it less fragile. The extruder has been switched to a bowden style extruder with the drive system located in the lower portion as well.
Instructions
Assembly of the printer follows that of the original MakerBot Cupcake. See the pictures for the main differences.
EDIT: It was pointed out to me that I forgot to upload add a few pieces. I've attached the bowden clips (both hot and cold ends) in a seperate DXF file. Also, the black delrin spacer for the extruder drive is directly from the Makerbot MK5 extruder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3290)
