This MendelMax inspired printer is compact, lightweight, and totally self contained. Nothing protrudes beyond the frame. Z axis motors are mounted low, and thrust bearings carry the weight. Note that the z axis uses the aluminum extrusion for a guide, saving space and expense. The linear bearings and belt and pulley upgrades give high quality prints. All dimensions are chosen so that you can use 4 smooth rods and 2 threaded rods, plus all other parts from you mendel. All parts are easy to print without support. The 60 W onboard power supply runs the motors and extruder heater. The heated bed used a 120 vac and a solid state relay. The extruder is very accessible. The heatsinks on the extruder are optional, but help keep thing cool when printing ABS. See BOM and exploded veiw of X axis below I added a pdf of an exploded frame drawing 1/19/12 Wire clips and T-slot cover for Misumi extrusions are at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16344 Below is a zipped archive of all the Inventor source files. Full BOM added per several requests. .stp files added. See video of this printer at http://youtu.be/JysNv3Hi67k
