Mendel90 for T-Slot August 18, 2012 07:53AM |
A few weeks ago I decided to change my old repstrap into a Mendel90 like machine. The problem was that my repstrap is built of T-Slot profiles. So I decided to adapt the Mendel90 parts to my T-Slot frame. Construction isn't completed yet, so have mercy on the mess my little hack looks like. 
When ready it should look like this:
As I was asked to publish my hack you find it attached.

It is because my repstrap has own wheels so you can push it around. I keep the ABS-filament and the PSUs below the trays.
This time I will add a spindle on top for PLA, so I can switch between PLA and ABS.
The lower parts are covered by acrylic glas, so that my little daughter can't reach them.

Actually I already reused it.
The frame comes from my old repstrap. Now it turns into a "Mendel90T".

I am tempted to try a Mendel90T as well. Judging from the pic, the t-slot is slightly wider than a Nema17, which would make it 45x45mm? Possibly 40x40mm, hard to tell.
I haven't looked to see what bolt size Mendle90 uses on the mounts, maybe could use a 30x30 frame instead.
I feel an OpenSCAD script coming on...
ETA: looks like the Dutch build mentioned above uses 30x30mm.
Here is a start perhaps?

I downloaded theodlief changes, but they are somewhat incomplete/out of date wrt to the photos. I have fixed them up a lot and made them configurable, and partly integrated them with latest Mendel90 source from the repo.
This is for 30x30 extrusion with M5 bolts:
The Y motor bracket needs a little work, and there may be some issues with Y endstop.
