This is the printer after the initial build. Notice how the filament is just stored on top of the printer. I had to turn the spool manually, closely watching the whole print process. Also, electronics are just “lying” around.
First step was to print filament spool holders. I found this on thingiverse. (where almost all of my modifications originate from) This is the original: www.thingiverse.com/thing:318212
Next step: get rid of the noise! Not only a lot of noise but also a lot of vibration on the table driving my family nuts 🙂 This upgrade comes from the site where I bought the 3D Printer kit. I bought the bearings via ebay.
Following step is to get rid of “lying around” electronics. Smart LCD mount
And the Arduino MEGA & RAMPS 1.4 mount. (two pieces, also found on thingiverse)
Last addition is two LED holders. (Again, found on thingiverse)
(BTW: the LED lights came from Hong Kong at no shipping costs. Really amazing)
Resulting in the current setup:
Next steps would be a solution for the power adapter and extending some wires to be able to tidy them. Besides that I am working on a wooden box for transportation purposes.
