Prusa i3 Bear IDEX

<h2>Prusa i3 Bear IDEX</h2> <p>This is my remix of the Prusa i3 Bear with IDEX. This is still a work in progress so any comments are welcome.</p> <p><strong>Why?</strong></p> <p>I think that adjusting two extruders on independent Z axis will be easier then two extruders on the same X axis. I guess I will find out.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Modified pieces:</strong></p> <ol> <li>x-carriage-back&nbsp;</li> <li>x-end with the motor mount&nbsp;</li> <li>Z top mounts</li> <li>Extended Bear frame y extrusion</li> <li>Extended y linear rods</li> </ol> <p><em>Everything else is either stock Prusa i3 MK3 or Bear parts.</em></p> <p><strong>Future plans:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Use a Duet2 with an expansion board running RepRap firmware.&nbsp;</li> <li>Added a large touch screen and box to hold the mainboard. Maybe something more similar to the CR-10.</li> <li>Route cables out the top. I might add a something onto the extruder for better cable management.&nbsp;</li> <li>Drill and tap the extrusion instead of using brackets.</li> <li>Build the real version.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Parts on order</strong></p> <p>Prusa i3 MK3 Bear Upgrade,2040 V-SLOT aluminum extrusions: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dZuW5Wu">Link</a></p> <p>Prusa i3 MK3 Aluminum bed support: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dTztI24">Link</a></p> <p>Trianglelab all-metal v6 hotend 24V (Qty of 2): <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dW8S6sY">Link</a></p> <p>TriangleLAB P.I.N.D.A V2 PINDA sensor (Qty of 2): <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dY5uvFS">Link</a></p> <p>Trianglelab GT2-16 pulley (3 Set): <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dVWjbFS">Link</a></p> <p>GmFive Clone Prusa I3 3D Printer Hot Bed Heated Bed MK3: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_d7xjPgy">Link</a></p> <p>3Sets U-bolts For Holding LM8UU MK2S Y-carriage For Prusa i3: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dZrs2Kk">Link</a></p> <p>Prusa I3 MK3 MK52 Black Double Sided Textured PEI Spring Steel Sheet: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Bf8RUC64">Link</a></p> <p>1.7 thin square nut The Whole Kit PRUAS I3 MK3 Screw Nut Hardware: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dUqzsmG">Link</a></p> <p>Prusa i3 MK2 MK2S MK3 3d Printer Accessory 42 Stepper Motor 320m Z-Motor With Trapezoidal Lead Screw (Qty of 2): <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dSV3SQU">Link</a></p> <p>10pcs/lot LM8UU (Qty of 2): <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dW74Lio">Link</a></p> <p><strong>Parts to be ordered</strong></p> <p>Makerbase 32 bit Cloned duet 2 wifi V1.04 board: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dS9eCqU">Link</a></p> <p>Cloned Duex5 Expansion Board Controller: <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dVIdgBm">Link</a></p> <p><em><strong>Once I have tested these parts and build the printer I will upload a completed BOM with the final parts list.&nbsp;</strong></em></p>
