We've had the opportunity to put together some 3D printers. Here are some notes on that .

1 Extruder Motor 36JX30K5.18G or 36JX30K27G
1 Pinch Bearing For above + Short Shaft
1 Hobbed Drive wheel For above

Notes:

  • When printing parts try to include T-slot nut cage forks so they don't slide away when you remove the screw. Perhaps with small barbs so they are pulled tight.
  • If any steppers are skipping steps you might want to adjust the Pololu driver board's current limit. As described in the links below.
  • CS for bottom plastic plates, are M5-7.
  • Other part numbers for Extruder motors are:
    • 36JX30K5.18G/42STH38-1684A, 1.8 Degree, 2.8V, 1.68A 1:5.18 Gear Ratio
    • 36JX30K27G..., 1:27 Gear Ratio
    • 36JX30K100G..., 1:100 Gear Ratio
  • Hot End Cooling fan: AV-F4010LS
    • 24V 0.08A 4-6? CFM

Adjusting the Vertical Slide rods:

  • Mount clamps in the base with locktight, but leave M3 screws lose.
  • Slide plastic gantry mounts with bushings on the slide rods
  • Thread the lead screws in also, add retainers and holding screws.
  • Add Claps to top of rods
  • Slide T-Slot nuts into top piece for the clamps.
  • Loosely mount motors
  • Slide rods into base clamps and connect motors to torsion dampeners.
  • Loosely fasten in upper clamps.
  • Tighten all four M3 bolts on clamps
  • Measure distance to 80/20 at bottom of slide rods.
  • Tighten top clamp screws without locktight enough so you can still move the clamps a bit
  • Adjust top of rods to same distance and tighten one clamp screw till its firm.
  • Add locktight to the other one and re-thread and tighten.
  • Remeasure to double check distance.
  • Add locktight to the first one check distance and tighten
  • Repeat for the other rod.

Adjusting the lead screws and motor mountings:
