RigidBot Standard 3D Model

thingiverse

This is a reverse-engineered 3D full model of a standard original RigidBot. This was the first 3D printer I owned, and where I learned the craft. It is a solid unit, and worth it to me to keep running. This project is a fun CAD skill-building exercise that will allow me to pick and print replacement parts and generate mods as needed. All original design credit goes to Michael Lundwall and his team. The model is still a work in progress. I still need to add: - End-Stops - Belts - Electronics The extruder is my design/modification which uses the original feed mechanism with an E3D V6 hot end. I have the original extruder parts in a bag somewhere, but couldn't find them for reference. Story time: During the first few days of covid lockdown, the infamous stock RigidBot power supply committed the Chinese electronics version of seppuku. When re-purposing the power cable and connector, I 'assumed' that red was + and black was -. Needless to say, I got to see micro heat-sinks pop up in the air. I can still taste that smoke. The mainboard was replaced with a BTT Tango (Rumba knock-off). The power supply was changed for a MeanWell 24V unit. If anyone is interested, I have the stock marlin code adapted for this printer. Let me know.
