Description
This is a plastruder MK5 solidworks model. Pretty much every piece get modeled. I also create some adapter plate for my Fireball CNC and Tormach CNC. In addition, I also included NMEA17 stepper motor and some gears if you want do some hack on your MK5.

Very nicely done. Can you tell me about the Tormach aspect of it? I've got a cnc mill and every time I look at the primitive motion-control on the Mendel and others, it makes me want to just bolt an extrusion head on the cnc. Have you done this? If so, what is the configuration you're using?
thanks,

It still in progress. Currently, I am write my own extruder firmware and my own perl script to handle the g-code. I am using Mach3 as CNC control software with my own M-code to talk to extruder via serial port. I also hack the coolant control and use as extruder on/off control. Here is some picture that I did: http://picasaweb.google.com/me...
I will make another post if everything works will.

Hey Kai, Thanks for this - very helpful. Last night I assembled most of the main components of a Thing-o-matic in Solidworks 2010. (Lasercut parts + slides + motors + your extruder). It need more work before it's uploadable, but I can share the work in progress if you / anyone would find it helpful - or want to help finish it.
hi Ew,
I would love to have Thing-o-matic model. I wish I can have one full automatic machine to print parts for me. It helps a lot if people want to do some hacks.
