mega prusa i3

by:Tuowei     2019-09-01
The concept of the giant of Prusa was originally named BluePrinted. com.
However, by October 8, 2014, the company had not released a blueprint for the large Prusa i3 3D printer.
Since I found the concept very interesting, I took the liberty of sharing my version of Mega Prusa i3 Rework.
Mega Prusa i3 rework is basically an enlarged version of the Prusa i3 rework.
Is amplified from the original design.
To be more precise, Mega Prusa i3 Rewrk is 8 times the size of um, 8 times the rework of Prusa i3, an amazing 400x400mm.
Here are some photos of some versions of the large Prusa i3 produced by some members of the instructures community.

Do not heat the bed with resistance, buy a silicone heater here :-

These may require gentle bending in order to be able to reach the mounting holes, which is also important for X and Y: 7-
I modified a wire shaft stand to fit the 9mm mid-fiber board frame: Mega Prusa i3 rework for reprapalgarve is just an enlarged version of the Prusa i3 rework 3D printer
To accommodate LM12UU bearings and 12mm light slide bars, most 3d printed parts have been redesigned.
Because Mega Prusa i3 has a large and heavy structure, 8mm rods do not work, so there are 12mm rods in place of use.
Use this sketchup file as a guide to the build.

Please note that this step of photos display 8mm a smooth of rod rather than 12mm a 8mm a rod don\'t work they no enough of strength to support in place of structure.
Install the Z axis of Mega Prusa i3 rework according to Skechup design.
In addition to the hot bed, wiring the electronic equipment according to the wires on the schematic.
I tried to connect 4 heat-
But eventually found a more cost-effective way to use resistors.
The hot bed is made of 450x3mm aluminum plate.
It has 4 10 w resistors.
7 ohms connected parallel to the ramp D8 connector.
Each resistor has 2 holes for fixing on the plate using screws. Instructions: -
Knock 4mm threaded screw holes on the aluminum plate (
For fixed resistance)-
Fix the resistance in place using M4 bolts
All 4 resistors are attached in ParallelPrusa i3 rework-

Mega Prusa i3 Rework is a machine in an excellent library of 3D printers :)
Because it\'s built in large quantities and it\'s easy to build.
