RepRap: Blog

After Jon Oxer's Livestream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZTzVepHpmA last weekend a few things cropped up. The major one is that the hole spacing on the Stage was wrong, so if you have printed one prior to last weekend you'll need to redo the stage on pika_sheet_2.stl . I have updated github and printables.

I thought I'd better print the latest one and test assembly, as I'm running a hybrid of V0.01 and V0.02 parts on my bench. In doing so I noticed that the left-hand Stage mounting hole on the XY Table is a bit shallow, only allowing 2mm of vertical adjustment screw to enter. I have fixed this in the model, but if you have already printed the XY Table you can slowly run a 3mm drill into the hole about 10mm and that'll give you all the adjustment clearance you'll need. There's nothing terribly important under the hole, so don't worry about breaking it.

While I was there, I took out the captive lugs on the inside of all the nut holes. As the mechanism is saner to assemble now, there's no need to retain the nuts and nut insertion is much, much easier. 

It still looks the same and assembles in much the same way, so no need for a documentation update:
