Prusa i3 parts - help!
April 25, 2014 11:57AM
I'm working on my first single plate Prusa i3 build and purchased an aluminum frame and parts kit from a supplier in Spain. The supplier assured me he was using the most recent BOM, however the Y-axis corners he sent have an M8 center hole instead of the M10 that's specified in the RepRap wiki build manual. I've already got all the rods, so I'd rather just swap out the printed parts.

He's willing to ship me new parts, however since he's in Spain the cost of shipping alone is $30 to $40 (I could literally buy a whole new parts kit off eBay for that much.)

I was hoping I might be able to enlist the help of someone here who would be willing to print out those 4 parts. I'd be happy to pay you - as long as it wasn't forty bucks. winking smiley

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!
David

Could you just drill through the hole with a 10mm drill bit? That would save you the cost and delay of waiting for new printed parts.

Possibly, although trying to hold that part and drill a perfectly centered hole through the existing hole might be quite a challenge, given the tools I have to work with. I think I'd rather just start with the right parts to begin with.
