Discussions about the Workshop/3D_Printer for the space resulted in the conclusion that for maximum durability we should build a Mendel Max.

Current Status

Please consult with Directors before ordering/purchasing any parts.

The Space MendelMax currently requires :

  • Possibly some more LM8UU bearings
  • An enclosure for printing ABS
  • Glass Bed to replace mirror ((for better heat distribution)James R is looking into cutting and shaping some)

Suppliers

  • Martyn R for printed parts. (Printing in progress)
  • Misumi for aluminium extrusions (collected from Bob C 2012-08-18).
  • Metal Supermarket (smooth rod)
  • Zapp Automation (steppers)

Shopping List

  • Structure

(Confirm with Directors before ordering)

  • Mechanical

    • 5*NEMA 17 bipolar/hybrid stepper motors (Torque >=13.7 N-cm/1400 g-cm/19.4 oz-in, 5mm shaft).
  • Electronics
