printrbot simple mods 3d models

Screw on a push-fitting at the top and voila - a simple Bowden extruder is created. Interface secondary stepper controller to RAMPS board or Extrudrboard, wire and set distance to Y+26mm. ...Ensure identical Z height for both extruders and experience...

I designed a fan shroud for the Simple Metal 1403 - Ubis 13HF hot end that really delivers. The design combines a standard fan shroud with mesh to create a unique and functional piece of hardware. I experimented with several versions before settling...

... guide into the side of the mount for added functionality. Print Settings: Notes: I printed this on a Printbot Simple Maker Edition, but please note that print settings will vary greatly depending on your specific filament and printer configuration.

This design builds upon my initial concept for a fan shroud suitable for the Simple Makers Edition. It's engineered to circulate air evenly across the freshly printed material from all sides. To integrate this fan shroud into your existing setup, no...

To capture a new photo of my modified Simple, I noticed my temporary fan and circular LED light setup. ...Deciding it was time for a proper mount, I followed these steps: print the required part without support; secure the 40mm fan with screws/nuts from...

......I modified this spool holder to fit perfectly with the Alu Handle from Simple. The original design had a problem with Z height, causing it to mash into the handle. The modification gives me an extra 17 mm of travel, but still limits travel somewhat.

Initially, I came up with a simple fix but then looked here for something better suited to my needs and ended up designing a quick sketch. Print two, insert a nut inside each, then install where the old delrin nut was. Here's how: Print two of...

The Fan Mount fits the 2014 Simple's Aluminum Extruder and requires a 12v-dc 40mm Fan. It is also compatible with the 2013 model featuring an aluminum Direct Drive extruder upgrade, but its zip-tie placement differs. For the 2013 model, the zip-tie...

How At first glance, it seems like this isn't possible - the J-Head is too short to fit on a Simple Metal. However, there are two methods to make it work: Print a mount that holds the J-Head low enough to trick it into thinking it's an Ubis. Modify...

When installing my Simple 1401's GT2 belt conversion, I inadvertently inverted the bed leveling screws and substituted the standard 20mm screws for sturdier 22mm versions, which necessitated tightening the lock nut to the top, thereby forcing me to...

I liked the design of the original a lot, but the first ring was way too big for printing on the Simple Metal even without any skirt, so I decided to make some adjustments. The base now needs a lot less material, instead of a large circle, some...

The new Z-Axis upgrade is a game-changer, bringing exciting improvements to the simple metal design. However, there's one catch I've encountered: when homing the printer or executing large Z-moves, the wobble on the top of the threaded rod becomes a...

Print the parts, ensuring they do not fit on the original simple setup in its 100x100 configuration. Finish the parts by drilling out 8mm and 2.5mm holes, with the latter positioned at the top front hole and only the bottom. After loosening belt...

The new Replicator-inspired extruder setup on the Replicator extruder has been replicated for use with Printrbot and generic RepRap-style machines. This unit is designed to fit a UBIS-style hot end, but can be easily modified to accommodate J head or...

If you use adhesive Zebra Plate from PRINTinZ or their previous pinkish plate like me, these clips are handy for swiftly attaching the plate to a 6mm heated bed similar to the one on Printrbot Simple Metal. EDIT: The new black and white Zebra plate...

And, more importantly cut a hole for access to the build plate screw under the cable guide. EDIT THE SECOND: Original mount holds camera from the side, not the bottom, so until I move the camera peg, you'll need an extra ball & socket to make a...

Make it a habit to gently shove some filament into the hotend just before the print kicks off. ...To achieve this, you'll need a hex nut of size M3 along with a grub screw measuring M3 x 6mm.

Designed own dampener for 1405 after struggling to find a suitable one. Achieving best results requires printing the object sideways with raft support enabled, which yields an excellent first-time model of a 3D printed part. When designing with a...

Places print rBot firmly atop its robust, metal support bars.\nUtilizes custom-cut foam pads or premium-grade silicone inserts for secure and even positioning, expertly crafted with meticulous attention to precision tolerance specifications.

I took an impressive design from mgx - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:846520 - and adapted it to fit the unique spools I had on hand. This modification enables seamless compatibility with Taulman 910 1 pound spools featuring small center holes, as...

The newer XL tower kits rectify this problem, but if you possess an older tower kit with 4 casters, it only really fits the included spool. Rather than rewinding filament or ordering exclusively from brands with exact spool size, simply print 2 of...

I really liked Bob_Ferr's fan grille and cable guide, but to be honest, I never saw much use in having a fan grille on that tiny fan. So, I just chopped it off and kept the cable guide - now that's what I call simplicity! To keep it in place, you'll...

The creator holds a miniature LED source above the heated nozzle to provide bright light onto the developing print. ...Constructed from open-source 3D modeling software, this LED is expertly connected to the printer's power distribution system via a...

I used a blower type fan that significantly improved my print quality. I chose this fan: GTFS-75mm x 30mm DC 12V 0.36A 2Pin Computer PC Blower Cooling Fan, but any similar 75mm blower fan will work as long as it draws less than about .4A of current.

To clean up cables for my extruder and hot end, I utilized existing bolt locations on the Y-axis and tie-wraps to the Printrboard frame. The cable setup allows movement in all three axes, so alignment isn't critical. It has been running smoothly for...

System updates verified, version v3 includes improved hole spacing adjustments. Noticeably corrected to prevent collisions with http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:377357 during use. To guarantee a secure belt placement and prevention of slipping off...

A convenient accessory designed for attachment to the Z-rods. I initially utilized the compact spool holder developed by mgx, however the filament would consistently snag onto my cable chain. ...The following solution helped resolve this issue for me.

This object was created using Tinkercad and can be edited online at https://tinkercad.com/things/3V7xf7ETxir. Initially, I built upon an existing design; however, the link to the original item is currently eluding me. ...Once retrieved, I will update...

Replace the faulty X-axis fishing line with a T2.5 belt and 608 bearing, as suggested by another user on Thingiverse. Begin by removing sandpaper from the pulley and placing it onto the motor using a small hammer to secure the 608 bearings on the...

Compatibility ranges from 53 to 57 millimeters in width.
