Fully Reworked/Custom 3D printer

prusaprinters

<p><strong>Short Story:</strong><br>I got this printer from a friend.. and I wanted to save it somehow because it did not work.<br>(Deformed original printed parts, deformed bed, bad extruder, semi-working hotend..etc)<br><i>And it seems to be a good hobby right? :)</i><br><br>So I ordered cheap parts like v6 hotend clone, a new extruder..etc. Then I recreated every part, mount, original parts..etc in a CAD app because my setup was totally custom so it was impossible to find 3d models for my project.<br>In short, now it works.&nbsp;<br><br>Is it good? To be honest, not really. &nbsp;It's far far far far… … far… away from my Prusa Mini.&nbsp;<br><i>But it's just a hobby project :) Maybe.. it will be a gift for a kid, but today it's not good enough. :)</i><br><br>So. I wanted to share this model because I think many of you are trying to do the same because it's really fun even if the results are… let's say not really good every time :)<br><br>In short, even if your printer is not the same, I hope this model<i> </i>can help<i> (or at least I can save your time somehow)</i> you guys because measuring every part over and over again and modeling took a little more time (and filament :( ) than I thought.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Before you print these parts:</strong><br>Check every dimension on my models and on your “device”.<br>It's a totally custom printer and CTC documentation is not really good, they have different printers and variations.<br><br><strong>Attachment:</strong><br>Every reworked part in:<br>.3mf&nbsp;<br>.stl<br><br>Every reworked AND dummy/original parts in:<br><strong>Update: .STEP - 2022.09.04</strong><br>.XT - If you want to use a CAD app<br>.Shapr - <i>import is free in this CAD app, I created every model file in Shapr3D so you can check/change everything that you want.</i><br><br><strong>Known issues:</strong><br>- The original rods are not really straight.. so the bearings are too tight in place.&nbsp;<br><i>So if you have the same problem with the rods, try to cut into the related parts.</i><br><i>Related parts: "Z Right Part 1" and "Z Right Part 2".&nbsp;</i><br><i>Another idea, </i>the two rods are too close to each other now.<br><br>- X belt tensioning is not really perfect, it works but not perfectly, I didn't have a better idea for belt tensioning.&nbsp;<br><i>Related parts: "Belt_tight_1", "X hotend mount base"</i><br><br>- It's not an issue but unfinished: Auto bed leveling mount. I'm still waiting for the bed leveling device so that part is missing. <i>But on the v6 hotend mount there are 2 screw holes to connect this part in the future.</i><br><br><strong>Material:</strong><br>I used Prusament PETG everywhere. <i>Or use ABS if you can (In my opinion).</i><br><i>And do not forget the related temp. limit if you want to use heated bed too.</i><br><br><i><strong>Printer settings:</strong></i><br><i>Nothing special. I tried to avoid using support. Infill depends on your material. I used the default Prusament Petg / 0.2mm Speed settings in Prusa slicer. (20% if i'm not mistaken)</i><br><br>I Printed every part with a Prusa Mini, that's why the plate mount had to be assembled from 5-6 smaller pieces. I used M3 screws everywhere.<br><br><br><br>++Happy building!</p>
