A work log of building a oversized Huxley Reprap 3d printer. Friday, 14 January 2011. X-Axis and Extruder Carriage. I decided to redesign this area of Huxley, as i felt that all those bearings and RP parts was a bit over the top. X-axis ( http:/ www.thingiverse.com/thing:4831.

Building A RepRap: Wiring it up!
http://strelly3d.blogspot.com/2011/02/wiring-it-up.html
A work log of building a oversized Huxley Reprap 3d printer. Sunday, 20 February 2011. Having studied mechanical engineering I felt very comfortable designing, making and tweaking the hardware of huxley; but connecting the whole lot up to a computer to make it print was quite a step into the unknown! I chose to use gen6 electronics from mendel-parts.com. To power the unit I used a laptop charger. As any mistakes will ruin your shiny new board! Wiring of the power connector. Reverse View of Opto mount.

Building A RepRap: Extruder
http://strelly3d.blogspot.com/2011/03/extruder.html
A work log of building a oversized Huxley Reprap 3d printer. Wednesday, 2 March 2011. Quick post to show off the extruder nozzle I machined! Brass M6 nut for comparison. The process of making it:. Start with a length of 10mm brass rod. As a guide I machined (on a hobby lathe) the outer dimentions. Using a pin vice. I then flip the brass around in the clamp and drill out the inside diameters. I then tapped the external and internal threads (M6 external, M8 internal). 2 March 2011 at 20:27.

Building A RepRap: November 2010
http://strelly3d.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A work log of building a oversized Huxley Reprap 3d printer. Saturday, 20 November 2010. To construct the frame i started with:. 5m of M6 theaded steel rod. X6 Silver steel M6 rod (comes in lengths of 335mm). M6/M3 washers and nuts (i bought 250 of each - overkill maybe but i may well make a couple more Huxleys! I used the following table from the Huxley Reprap.org page. To know what lengths of M6 threaded rod to cut. Frame sides, the two equilateral triangles. Frame bottom cross bars. Z Axis Lead Screws.

Building A RepRap: Y-axis
http://strelly3d.blogspot.com/2011/01/y-axis.html
A work log of building a oversized Huxley Reprap 3d printer. Friday, 14 January 2011. For the original Huxley design i felt that the y-axis was over complicated, and required the use of a froglet (complex flat shape to hold the bearings etc) which was recommended to be laser cut. I chose the simpler option of using a square of aluminium sheet (160x160mm) and bonding 4 PTFE bushings to the underside (using long setting epoxy resin was worse than super glue; which is still holding firm!
