This is a redesigned Huxley inspired by the Prusa simplified Mendel. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4148 It uses the PLA Bushings like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4434 I modified the scad script to use 6mm rods. (basically just put in 6mm for rod size and 12mm for width) I have also redesigned the X and Y motor brackets to be able to use nema 14 or 17 motors. The Z now takes 2 nema 14 motors. I designed it around 1/4" threaded rods and #6-32 bolts. It should work with 6mm rods and M6 bolts, but I'm not sure. This should work with the same extruder as the regular Huxley. I believe. The image is of the current build status, it needs the Y Stage and some belts on it before it will go, and an extruder. But the Z movement is working well so far. Edit: Got the belts in and installed on the X Axis Test Videos here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rji863B-JnA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw6CKZPRubw The design files are in SolidWorks Edit 12-8-10: Found a problem with the X-axis parts. the bolts used to tighten the rods in place had a nut bigger than the rod, so I put in a slot on the side. This weakened the structure to the point where tightening the bolts enough to keep tension on the belt, it would break the piece. I redesigned them after finding "Undersized Hex Nuts" (McMaster carr part 90760A007 for 6-32) which allow me to insert them the same as prusajr originally had. I also added more material to the sides to help with this. I am currently printing them out for testing. Edit 12-9-10: I added more material to the x-axis parts to make them a bit stiffer again, I didnt get a chance to test the last version, so it may work just fine.
