For D3D 3D printer - 12" heated bed, 16" frame:

  • The sensor is on the left hand side in front of the extruder. This means that the configuration.h file must be changed.
  • With the MK8 extruder, protruding as forward as much as it is, 2" of travel are lost on the y axis. This can be improved with an extruder that is more compact in the Y direction, such as Prusa i3 MK2 extruder.
  • Endstop limits travel on X. Endstop location can be optimized on the left. On the right, a spacer for axis mounting can extend Z travel on the max X
  • Y min trave is ok
  • Z travel is only 7". 2" can be gained by modifying mounting of platform to Z axis by extending the mounting lower
  • Z travel can gain 1" vertically by raising extruder tip by 1"
  • There is a max of 10" available z travel on the Z axis based on the length of exposed rod.
