Potato Parts

I guess this is a 3d printer kit, technically. I made these parts for my printer made out of recycled laser printer parts (Mostly 6mm rods). Everything mounts to wood planks so you can use whatever lengths you recover while recycling easily. Just adjust the bushing print size to fit whatever size of rods you are using. The X axis parts are probably the most interesting for reuse. The rods are held in parallel and carry a carriage with vgrooves cradling printed bushings in line with the rods. The bushings are held in place with zipties so you can change them out for a different size rod without reprinting the whole x carriage, or use two different sized rods.
