<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"> <channel> <title>&quot;Brutis&quot; Breeder Mini Mendel redesign</title> <description> My wife has took to calling it Brutis, because what I have together so far looks so beefy :) A few design questions, I didn't know if anyone had a good answer. -On the Mendel, the thinest part that holds a NEMA 17 is the X solid end bracket, and it's 5mm. Other parts are in thicker brackets, and have side supports. I take that to mean that the minimum a nema 17 should have would be the 5mm/no side supports. That's what I am designing to. Is that a bad assumption? -On a bowden extruder, the extruder is usually mounted below the build plate, but I am considering mounting my extruder mirrored to the X axis motor, with the ptfe tube fed up and back down onto the trolley and an acyric tube fed down to my printed filament spool. Is there a reason for the normal bowden positioning? -Does anyone know a cheaper place to get PFTE tubing int he US than Mcmaster carr? $5 a foot is steep. If you have any sugjestions please post it here or over at [reprap.org] I will post the parts to Thingiverse because I don't know how to upload them to RepRap.</description> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,52823#msg-52823</link> <lastBuildDate>Tue, 21 May 2024 10:14:01 -0400</lastBuildDate> <generator>Phorum 5.2.23</generator> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,68043#msg-68043</guid> <title>Re: "Brutis" Breeder Mini Mendel redesign(:D</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,68043#msg-68043</link> <description><![CDATA[ Of late I’ve broken down the Brutis into two groups<br />1) Orphaned (Alpha) Brutis designed in Heeks Cad <br /> 2) Brutis Mini-Mendel based on the Prusa Mendel<br />[<a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/Brutis" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reprap.org</a>]<br /><br />A test release of the x carriage for prints on a MakerBot has been released<br />[<a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4976" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.thingiverse.com</a>]]]></description> <dc:creator>Prober</dc:creator> <category>General New Machines Topics</category> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Dec 2010 18:19:21 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,66780#msg-66780</guid> <title>Re: "Brutis" Breeder Mini Mendel redesign(:D</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,66780#msg-66780</link> <description><![CDATA[ I just added a forum-widgit-rss-fee link from the brutis wiki page back to here.]]></description> <dc:creator>SebastienBailard</dc:creator> <category>General New Machines Topics</category> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Nov 2010 02:18:43 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,66752#msg-66752</guid> <title>Re: "Brutis" Breeder Mini Mendel redesign</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,66752#msg-66752</link> <description><![CDATA[ Yea Tesla has took over the design of the Brutis, I am working more on trying to get a functional Mendel Farm operational right now.

My bowden extruder isn't finished yet, but you really do want to reduce bending as much as possible, so this probably isn't the best place to cut corners. The tube I have barely stretches, but as you bend it it shortens a little, so I'm going to go for a fairly big loop. Microstepping the extruder motor helps as well, because the extra spring due to the tube makes it more likely to skip steps.]]></description> <dc:creator>james glanville</dc:creator> <category>General New Machines Topics</category> <pubDate>Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:08:20 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,52871#msg-52871</guid> <title>Re: "Brutis" Breeder Mini Mendel redesign</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,52823,52871#msg-52871</link> <description><![CDATA[ The main reason I am looking to put the extruder on the X axis (but not on the trolley), is so that I can use less PTFE.
