Missing STLs
June 30, 2008 12:01PM
Hello,

We are sending the rp parts to fabrication and we're having some trouble matching the BOM with the STL files:

* What are 'Studding tie bracket', 'Vertical hole plug', 'X PCB bracket', 'Z opto flag base'?

Are the guesses at [forums.reprap.org] correct? Namely, is the following correct:
By elimination, it looks like Bed-clamp.stl corresponds to 'bed clamp bracket'.
Y coupling -> Y motor coupling
Z pulley rim -> Z toothed pulley rim


Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Turns out we just overlooked X-PCB-Bracket, it's there.

we are also guessing that 'Studding tie bracket' corresponds to 'Z_Studding_Drive'. is this correct?

we still can't find 'vertical hole plug' or 'Z opto flag base' anywhere....

your help is greatly appreciated!

Here are my best guesses from reprap-cartesian-bot-1.0.5

Studding tie bracket = Z-studding-tie.stl
vertical hole plug = Corner-bracket-vertical-bolt-plug.stl

I think the z opto design has moved on since the instructions and BOM:

Z-flag-adjuster-housing.stl
Z-flag-clamp.stl
Z-flag-slider.stl

I think these make an adjustable z-opto flag.

nophead,

First - thanks for your input... I think you cracked it smiling smiley

Second - Is there anyway to get SolidWorks files for all the parts? (i'm sure the originals exist in sort of CAD form other than stl...)

STL is like a binary file for SolidWorks... it can do very little with it and it is ver difficult to handle - having the originals would make it easier to do a virtual build and get a feel for the RepRap.

Third - who takes care of the instructions? if RepRap ever intends to open up a can of 2^n on the world we will have to get our act together... smiling smiley
