Prusa Mendel Build Manual/fr

Documentation de la Prusa Mendel Acknowledgment/Remerciements The translation of the Prusa Mendel Assembly documentation was mostly made by Laurent [1], and other people, during the FabLab Bootcamp at Ping [2] Un grand bravo à Laurent [3] et aux autres qui ont traduit en français la documentation de l'assemblage de la Prusa durant le FabLab Bootcamp à Ping [4], ceci devrait contribuer à faciliter la diffusion de ce type de RepRap dans la francophonie :) Assemblage Pour découvrir visuellement le processus de fabrication d'une Mendel Prusa, allez faire un tour sur l'album photo [[5]] Un guide [6] est aussi disponible, qui détaille chacune des étapes ci-dessous, avec des illustrations: Assembler les triangles de l'armature (2x) Notes: Un sèche-cheveux (ou équivalent) peut servir à réchauffer le côté plat d'une bague afin de l'assouplir afin qu'elle n'éclate pas lorsqu'on la clippe sur une barre. Cette partie prend 15 minutes par triangle à assembler, pour un total de 30 minutes. 1 pince de tige RP

Exquisite Automated Build Platform This page is a development stub. Please enhance this page by adding information, cad files, nice big images, and well structured data! These are good resources for creating wiki pages. i have had some breakthroughs in materials for abp, and will be posting more this weekend, hopefully a working abp for mendel. i have to say it is a lot simpler than i had imagined it would be.. just the right combination of chemicals, materials and heating. ** 1/4/2012 Exquisite Automated Build Platform Release status: unknown One wiki editor has suggested renaming this page to conveyor belt build platform. this is an attempt to make an automatic build platform for Mendel. theory of operationFile:AbpTheoryOfOperation.doc (beta, not complete yet) i will be uploading picture of my unit, and diagrams and how to make and machine and possibly print parts for it. note. my unit does not yet work. it does not yet have safety features. 2) must not be heavy as to slow down y movement and acceleration by more that 10%

Prusa Mendel Assembly Prusa Mendel Documentation Before assembling a Prusa Mendel, make sure you have all the parts necessary. For the bill of materials, see Prusa Mendel. For the visually oriented, have a look at this photo gallery of an ongoing Prusa Mendel build. You may also want to watch the complete video series for assembling a Prusa 2 How_to_build_Prusa_2. Notes: Heating the flat side of a bushing with a hair dryer or heat gun before snapping onto the smooth bar can keep it from snapping. Frame Triangles This step takes about 15 minutes per triangle, for a total of 30 minutes. There is a triangle on each side of the Prusa RepRap. Parts Required (per triangle) 2 RP footed frame vertices 1 RP frame vertex (non-footed) 1 RP bar clamp 3 370mm M8 threaded rods 14 M8 nuts 14 M8 washers (Optional but recommended) A piece of threaded rod or wood or any other material with precisely 290mm length. Front Threaded Rods This step takes about 30 minutes. Parts Required 2 assembled frame vertex triangles 2 RP bar clamps

Extruder/Mendel edit is restricted to the autoconfirmed group (set from the "protect" tab)move is restricted to the autoconfirmed group (set from the "protect" tab) This page describes the standard extruder for RepRap Mendel. There are alternatives Wade's Geared Extruder, Geared Nema17 Extruder Driver and Geared Nema17 Extruder that you may care to look at too. NOTE: Geared_Nema17_Extruder is a well tested extruder by now, it have more advantages like being easy to build with common tools and it's more powerful. Follow to Geared_Nema17_Extruder to see videos of it working, pictures from users and all the information to build and use it. Mendel uses a thermoplast extruder based on RepRap's Thermoplast Extruder Version 2.0 (please note in particular how to make the motor grip the filament as smooth motor shafts will not grip the filament sufficiently, without modification). Assembly qty: 1 Thermal-barrier and nozzle These are the only parts of RepRap that need to be machined. Start by facing off the ends.

Adrian's Geared Extruder Adrian's Geared Extruder Release status: Working Introduction This page describes the standard extruder for RepRap Mendel. This extruder is designed to work with a supply of 3mm diameter plastic feedstock. I wanted to design a single extruder driver that could Be bolted to the X carriage of Mendel and run as a normal extruder, Be mounted somewhere at the side and drive a Bowden extruder (as invented by eD and developed by Erik), and Be mounted somewhere at the side and drive a Bowden paste extruder, as outlined here. Features 59:11 gear ratio means that the motor runs on very low current; prime numbers of teeth mean even wear No hobbing or knurling needed to make the filament driver Torque transmitted using a wing nut, giving low stress on reprapped gears Uses the same 624 bearings as the rest of RepRap Mendel Designed to work at higher extrude speeds than the old Mendel extruder, giving shorter build times. What you need See this page for a better nozzle design for this device.
