will1384's Ord Bot Hadron
Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2014 6:48 am
I had wanted a 3D printer for years, but never had the money, last year I had saved up and got a Shapeoko 2, then I started saving up money and getting the parts to enlarge and upgrade the Shapeoko 2, last month I decided to try 3D printing with the Shapeoko 2, and it went better than expected, I posed about it over in the Shapeoko forums :

After trying 3D printing, I knew wanted a 3D printer, and because I had a lot of parts saved up for the Shapeoko 2 upgrades, I decided to make a Ord Bot.
Here are the parts I started with:

I also decided to get this:
(001x)------Full Graphic Smart LCD Controller----------- ebay.com
I could not find any belt clamps, or any nut blocks for sale, so I printed some I found on thingiverse, and this forum, I also printed a pair of couplers for the threaded rod.
I printed this Z-Axis coupler:

And the belt clamp I believe came from:
http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2157
Or
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2157
This is what it looks like, I did not have the proper nuts and bolts, so I used a heat gun to soften the plastic and used 6-32 nuts and bolts.
And the nut blocks are from here I think:

I also printed this for my endstops:
Sainsmart / Makerslide X-Axis Mechanical End-stop Mount
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:220149
Sainsmart / Makerslide Y-Axis mechanical end-stop
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:231813
Sainsmart / Makerslide Z-Axis Mechanical End-stop Mount
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:220145
I used OpenBuilds Dual V Wheels and Pulleys in place of Makerslide V Wheels and Pulleys, and it looks like there is no problem in using them, I just used what spacers what came in the "OpenBuilds kit", seems to work just fine, I also used GT2 belt and Pulleys.
Images for the frame build:
LOL, I got one of the Makerslide rails upside down, but I don’t think its going to cause any problems.
I had reversed the Makerslide when I drilled, so I made two holes.
I am trying to figure out my wiring strategy, at first I wanted to use the holes, but I tend to redo and change stuff a lot, so I thought that using the holes might lead to problems later.
That's all I have done so far, I still need to setup Ramps, and program the Arduino Mega, I am not even sure were to start on the Arduino Mega, I am trying to figure out the Configuration.h stuff now.
From what I understand I need set this,
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,97.24160448}
I used this calculator
http://calculator.josefprusa.cz/#steppers
the settings are for GT2 belts and pulleys, and I did the extruder calibration with Mach3 and got 48.62080224 at 1/8 stepping, so at 1/16 it should be 97.24160448, I think.
Here is a helpful page on extruder calibration:

Still trying to figure out the end stop settings, and LCD setting for the Full Graphic Smart LCD Controller, and then how to use the Configuration.h, LOL
