Mendel parts

thingiverse

Waiting for the electronics to be delivered by mail (IRL mail :) i re-worked some parts to cut on my lasercutter Here is the place i put and update the mendel parts adapted to my laser cutter. Everything is cut in 3mm MDF (maybe 1/8" fits... ) on a 40 Watts epilog zing lasercutter (tuning speed 45%, power 100%) open the .odg with openoffice 3.2 (seems openoffice3.3 and freeoffice3.3 got some troubles with big printings) I found original plans are in reprap wikihttp://reprap.org/wiki/LaserCut_Mendelhttp://www.techzonecom.com/listing.php?cat_id=8 theses no more nedds post-processing, just glue and clamps. Remarks : I provide .svg i do not tryed, i prefer .odg I put the pieces here once i tryed them, but nothing can be sure before the first object prints. Instructions instructions are in pictures Better a drawing than a long speech Here are to build : vertices (needs 6) bar clamp (needs a lot, 12 a minimum plus 2 cross clamp) pcb mount Jig Vertices glue the 6 parts align while gluing the 4 sides, they inserts in strength return and clamp, protect the table with paper once dry, use a small bar to break the walls bar clamps clip the 4 parts of the bar clamp tool insert parts in tool while gluing them return and clamp, protect the table with paper if you put too many glue, remove the tool before completely dry they are really useful little things, i have (and will) glue a lot of them to re-use in other projects. as shown in the picture one M-A-005 + M-A-004 + M-A-004 + M-A-005 made a cross bar clamp Jig laser brings precision, it's the perfect tool to cut jigs, this helps a lot for assembly pcb mount two of the small 'u' buils a smal cross, this cross gives centering during the gluing of the two identical parts, making a 6mm from 2x3mm TODO_LATER : other parts of mendel... add 9x9 centering cross in vertice to ease assembly bigger or diagonals removable woodwalls
