Place the power supply into the frame as shown. The yellow-black cables should be on the bottom pointing to the Y axis rods. Take 4 zipties and join them to make one very long ziptie Place this contraption around the power supply, attaching it to the frame. Repeat with another set of 4 zipties. My 3D Printer Worklog (Mix G1) My 3D Printer Worklog (Mix G1) - Part 2 Mechanical Assembly (As a note I'm about a week ahead in progress from this post.)
The assembly went decently well, after the first few steps, as part of the assembly video from the creators here: [www.youtube.com] What confused me quite a bit was that the base pieces were completely different from the video. You essentially ignore 0:16 to 0:56 in the video because the power plug and switch have plastic housings, and the side plates that used to go in the YZ plane do not exist with the new printer design. It's hard to see in the web page, but the way all of the stuff is supposed to go is like this: No Bubbles Kapton. Five More incredible Prints For Your 3D Printer. This post follows a first one in which we presented some tips about how to tune printing (with 3Drag but also in general).
Here you’ll find 5 more cool 3D prints to experiment with! Porcupine Vase This is an easy print difficulties, with reduced printing times, but it’s. It belongs to the category of vessels and has the particularity to adapt to reworks through scaling on one axis with the tools provided by Repetier. The genesis of this model is very simple: we found a pair of vessels called “Double Twisted Vase Inside Out” and after printing the one that is more rounded, we decided to rework the whole cutting the vessel in half. This series of three vessels, we gathered under one group (of which you have three STL and one G-Code), lends itself to great experimenting with parameters such as perimeters, print speed, thickness (z) of the layers and temperatures.

Build a Dual Extruder for 3D Printing. This Instructable will show you how to build Jim's Flying Motor Mount Dual Extruder.
This extruder is a compact, light-weight, dual extruder which can be used on Mendel, Prusa, Wallace, and Printrbot 3D printers (and others) which currently use the single Greg's Wade's Extruder. This new design offers a true dual extrusion capability to these printers, allowing two color printing, or use of an alternate support material. Use of support material is a feature of recent versions of Slic3r. Alternate support material removes restrictions on printing overhangs to allow printing of arbitrary shapes. Caution: This Dual Extruder is designed to be used as part of an existing or new 3D printer.
Full disclosure: I have yet to get the dual extruder mounted and fully tested on my printer. Printed Parts: Print two each (It's a dual, remember?) Vitamins (metal parts): Four M4x35mm socket head bolts with nuts. From Image to Reality! 3D Printing In Practicality! Mix g1. New to 3D Printers. The "unofficial standard" is a Prusa.
As Fredlatesta said, "best" is subject to discussion. My first printer was a Prusa v1. I learned so much building and tuning it. There is probably far more info on assembling and tuning your basic Prusa than most other printers out there. As for parts, I sell both Prusa and Wallace parts. For the "vitamins"(the metal bits) MixShop is good. I would spring for a .5 J-head hotend from Hotends.com. Bonooobong. Generative architecture. Nervous System.
Rapid Prototyping and Solid Freeform Fabrication - The Worldwide Guide. The shape of things to come: A consumer's guide to 3D printers. CES 2013 proved to be something of a coming out party for consumer-facing 3D printers.
Sure MakerBot earned a fair amount of attention at last year's show with the announcement of the Replicator, which snagged its share of awards from various press outlets. This year, however, saw a relative deluge in 3D-printing representation, with strong showings from 3D Systems, FormLabs, MakerBot and the cloud-based 3D printer, Sculpteo. Even with so many companies rising to prominence, the dream of truly mainstream 3D printing still feels a ways off -- if that is indeed where we're inevitably heading. These nascent days are an exciting time, with a diverse array of companies and organizations vying to be the first to bring the technology to our homes.
In a sense, many roads lead back to RepRap, the open-source, community-fueled project aimed at creating a self-replicating machine.
