X-Axis Complete!

Wow that took a while to get it perfect (or so i hope). Due to the parts not being from a RepRap machine using FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) but instead resin moulding with a rubber die. giving inaccuracies in size and some parts are slightly warped. 

This is not to say i didn't enjoy doing all this but if anyone else is thinking of starting a mendel project i highly recomend buying the FFF part set instead of resin to save your self so much time and trouble.


Here is a video of my progress!

There was too much filling, but watching TV at the same time made it seem not so much. 

Here is a high res picture of it completed.

I still need to procure some parts before i can finish making the extruder, which I will be purchasing tomorrow. Just a wing-nut and some threaded rod and then i can get back to filing away like a busy beaver.



Oh! forgot to update about how I fixed my broken parts.

Well there is this rather amazing material called 'Green Stuff' it is an adhesive putty similar to blue tak but will harden after 24hours. So you can mould it into anyshape you want. it is normally used for model making for Gamesworkshop fans.

Once blue and yellow sides are mixed to form green it'll start to harden!

Fixed pieces in all their crippled glory!
