When testing the X-ends to see if they clamp a bearing correctly as this picture shows

With two bolts to simulate rods

If its tightened too much then it spits in an odd place

I suggest a small stopper inbetween the two rods just enough so that it can flex down to clamp the rods.
The stopper could stop further flex on the bolt side, forcing the bearing and the nut hole to contract instead, securing the nut and the bearing.

The pictures are for a visual assembly guide I'm putting together.
I'll re-print it and wedge it with some sellotape for now.

eg you only have one base_end, one leadscrew_coupler and one z_top_clamp.

also could I suggest adding shadows of the motors?

when I hit F6, in openscad, it only render the bed I have to hit F5 to have the all machine, but I was wanted to export the machine in stl, is there a way to do it ? or did I miss something?

When adjusting the base for motor height you must add 3.2mm for the motor well to be sized correctly.

Hi,

Is it possible to use a directory structure like https://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel to help keep the project organized?
I would propose:

source (all source files, openscad, etc needed to build the project STLs).
/inc (any include files, extra stls, etc.)

docs (for locating ThingDoc files and output / other documentation)
/images (images for ThingDoc and build photos)

metric-wallace-lm6uu (directory contains final STL files needed to print out)

Just a suggestion :)
Cheers.

When I render openscad files, I don not have all the parts, only the "hollow parts" that go trought the printed parts. Is this normal? Do I have to import something?

WARNING: Can't open import file `/Applications/gregs/gregs_accessible_wade-wildseyed_mount.stl'.

Not sure it matters, but just in case.

Howdy!

Would you be interested in splitting up your monolithic script into separate parts?
I'm keen to do this and add ThingDoc support. At this early stage would rather see this in the canonical version, rather just forking it...

Happy to help / discuss :)

I'm guessing you are releasing your work under GPL?...
This has been the preference for RepRap ... personally it would be awesome if you adopted LGPL, which I think is a much better fit to OSHW.

Either way, could you please add a license note as a readme/ in the openscad scripts, etc. just for clarity.

Cheers.
