Mulbot - The Mostly Printed 3D Printer

thingiverse

###The Mulbot is a open source mostly printed printer that I designed to show the people at the Midwest Rep Rap Festival (MRRF) 2019! I had a table for a few hours at MRRF last year and I brought these 3D printed bearings I designed that use recirculating bearing balls and naturally everyone was suggesting that I make a printer with them. By the time I was in the car driving home I already had some ideas in my head and a plan to bring the printer to MRRF the following year! ##Important: I want to make this obvious in case it was not clear. Below under "Where to Start" I suggest to print a bearing and a rail first. I suggest this because its the hardest part to get right and I don't want people printing the entire printer then realizing that they cant get the bearing to work. So please heed my warning and get your bearings working right before printing the rest of the printer. Having said that, I have printed these bearings in different arrangements over twenty times and have not had a issue. ##UPDATES 3/24/19 - I added a "UPDATES" module at the bottom of the page which will contain any updates or changes.
