RepRap Forums - Open Build Prusa Concept

Not sure I like this but I've been reworking the Prusa i3 using OpenBuilds parts so it caught my attention.

Interesting. Have you looked at replicating the OrdBot? Pretty simple design that uses extrusions very similar to OpenBuilds extrusions.

I have seen the OrdBot, and yes you could do it with OpenRail. Do you have any experience of the OrdBot?

The i3 has a large ecosystem surrounding it, it's easier to rework something when there is a lot of development going on around it.
ex: My i3 thingiverse collection: http://www.thingiverse.com/Bobnet/collections/i3

My idea is to use a OpenBuilds build plate, replace the lower body with V-Slot & use synchromesh ala Deezmaker.
It's still all drawing board stuff.

I am ready to transition from the Prusa Mendel with threaded rod and belts, to the openbuilds...any guidance?

I am modifying the BOM for the Prusa Wilson TS variant. I am going to have a build area of 10x10 x12. His spreadsheet allows you to set the build size and then creates the correct size of extrusions, rods etc. I want to go further and use the v-slot and build plate in my version.

Hi, this will be my first attempt to build a reprap, i really like the wilson ts model, but i can't find the printed parts cad or stl. Can you help me? Where did you find it? Thanks

Here is the link to his git hub, where the files are at. https://github.com/mjrice/wilson
