This is an old revision of the document!
The Prusa i3 was rebuilt by Ben Kuttesch and Morgan Gangwere after the reprap caught fire and just needed to be rebuilt. Both agreed that a Prusa i3 rebuild was in order.
Parts & attribution
Most hardware was salvaged from the RepRap printer. Only a few parts have been purchased or scavenged from outside sources.
Parts used (to some degree of knowledge):
* Frame: Prusa i3 improved for laser cut * X/Z axis: Smooth X-Axis for Prusa i3 with leadscrews * Leadscrews from Amazon (8mm) * Some custom laser cut stuff * A modified Steph's Extruder - need Ben Kuttesch to upload to Thingiverse * E3D V6 hotend * A few custom parts that haven't been put on Thingiverse yet
Parts were laser cut on OUR LASER CUTTER with OUR SCRAP! And it looks pretty good all things considered.
Quirks
The glass takes FOREVAAAH to heat up. Give it 10 minutes to come to temp after the thermistor reads the preheated values.
