  • Assemble axes from available prior work - Done

Generate BOM from CAD - Instant in FreeCAD 21

  • Find multiple vendors for each part 12hrs

Source and order all of the first kit supplies

  • Order parts from multiple sources to vet quality/compatibility


Prep the first kit

  • Print 3d printed components - 48+ hrs
  • Cut rods and rebar to size - 1.5hr
  • Cut lengths of belt - 15min
  • Cut lengths of pipe for bed - 30min
  • Cut plates for bed (if necessary) - 15min
  • Cut aluminum heatsink to size - 10min
  • Machine aluminum heatsink on drill press - 15min
  • Test all electrical components (motors, endstops, RAMPS+Mega, bed heater, etc) 30min
    • Motors all spin
    • Endstops trigger properly and are correct type for failing safely
    • Bed Heater - lighting up
    • Hotend and thermistors - Heat up and measure temp
  • Heat gun the control panel print as in 4D Printing 5min


Build the first kit

  • Build Universal Frame
    1. Gather all materials 1min
    2. Build two squares from the corners and rebar 10min
      • Use jig to square (wooden dowel cut to length of connector distance)
      • Be mindful of corner direction
      • Tighten fasteners
    3. Add 4 vertical rebar pieces into one of the square's corners 2min
      • Tighten fasteners
    4. Put second square onto the top 2min
      • Turn frame onto its side
      • Use jig to square
      • Tighten fasteners
    5. Done!
  • Build Universal Axes
    • X Axis with rods jutting past the sides
    • Y Axes with unique carriages
    • Z Axes with shorter rods
  • Build Universal Extruder
  • Build Heated Bed
    • Primarily assembled using high temp epoxy
  • Build Universal Controller
    • Tin all wires
    • Attach all components to panel
    • Follow prior art wiring plans
  • Build filament holder

Create documentation for printer, following wiki development template

  • Kit Prep Manual
    • Safety, workspace layouts, kit prep expected effort timeline
    • Sourcing section - notes on finding local substitutes
    • Metal Cutting Section
    • Aluminum Heatsink Prep Section
    • Steps for partial preassembly
    • Packaging for workshop
    • Packaging for shipment
