Introduction

I began building a RepRap Prusa Mendel about a year ago after an impulse buy on eBay. I ordered a kit of pre cut 5/16" Threaded rods and hardware necessary to begin the construction of my printer. I spent months researching the various options and eventually settled on the Prusa due to it's ease of construction and available modifications.

My current set up is as follows:

• Gen 6 electronics
• Optical Endstops
• Lulzbot Buddaschnozzle 1.0 hot end
• Wades accessable extruder

My Prusa uses the following upgrades over the "stock" configuration:

• LM8UU linear bearings on the X and Y axis
• Glass Print Bed
• Z Rod Constraints
