Rebuilding my Ordbot
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2015 3:19 pm
My OrdBot needs a rebuild. It started off being built from individually bought
parts, some not so good. I had a wades extruder and some Polish made hotend for
3mm filament. I then switch to an Alex extruder and the Jhead-lite hotend setup
for 1.75mm PLA it has on it now. Which worked ok, but not as good as the other
printers I had at my disposal. I use Marlin firmware with servo Z auto level setup.
I've seen some upgrades on thingiverse that I'm going to add to it, clean
the wiring back up, and add a hotbed.
Anyways here's how she looks now.
I've been printing parts for the upgrades.

I got her tore down today. I want to paint all the plates flat black.
Then I mounted the new feet. I really like these.
The first X carriage I got when i originally built the ordbot wasn't bent evenly.
Since it was twisted at the bend I had some nice guy on buildlog.net give one
of his spares so I could complete mine. I've decided to mod the first carriage
by cutting it just above the bend, and mount a prusa style hotend holder to it.
I should of taken a pic before I cut it up. Got the plates painted black.
I'm starting to put her back together now.
I think I've narrowed down what I want to print for my LCD and RAMPS mounts.
I like this RAMPS mount with the hinged lid.

Now I just have to get those printed.
I think this is the dual hotend mount I'm going to try.
