Dup1icat0r, RepliMaker,...(You Name IT!)

thingiverse

Sometimes you just really don't care about printing things the size of a loaf of bread. Or you might not find printing in two colors any cooler/awesomer/better/(insert whatever here)than one color. Or just maybe you don't want to dedicate and entire table to your 3D printer? Well, here's a start to something that might float your boat. The little brother of the Replicator, or the result of a one night stand between an Ultimaker and a Replicator. I've taken the Replicator files (at this point, just the frame really) and chopped off the lengths by ~5" and lowered the interior base by ~10mm for some more Z travel (could probably take off even more). Hoping that this gets others involved early on and we can fill out the other missing components quickly. My thinking is a 8" by 8" by 8" single extruder printer. (Let's be honest, dualstrusion will be awesome when we get PVA going, until then, one will do!). So pretty much a Replicator X/Y inside a Ultimaker-esque-ish-sized body...that's where the name RepliMaker came from in case you were wondering :P. Instructions Err, if you have laser access, laser it and report any issues. If you don't, but have other skills such as designing 2D files, have at it! Things still needed/wanted: 3D printable X/Y/Z components that MakerBot had injection molded Laser files for a new print bed (that can carry the Prusa PCB HBP?...Something along the lines of an Ultimaker Z axis?). Cut outs for mounting various electronics. Cut outs for mounting LCD/rotary encoder/etc. It's pretty barebones, pretty much deleted all Makerbot logos and cut outs for accessories (LCD, spool holders, etc.). Lot's of room for mods/hacks/creativity.
