Eventorbot 2.0

Many will share how the Eventorbot (aka shakerbot) isn't a great design. However its unique look and origins motivated this passion project to turn it into something usable and easy to maintain compared to the original printer and v1.2 kits. This redesigned printer uses three inch square tubing to fit as much as possible into the frame and incorporates a mix of parts from the v1.2 and upgrades that were "good enough." While there are some components commercially available that would be mechanically better, unfortunately they aren't cost effective. It was probably crazy to build one but here it is for the very few Eventorbot enthusiasts :)

Some notable improvements:

• Z axis rigidity
• easier assembly/disassembly
  • design segregated into Power Control Unit (PCU), X, Y, and Z axis assemblies
  • each of the assemblies contain its own wiring harness with electrical connectors allowing for "plug and play"
  • each assembly can be installed or removed independently of the others (including the X build gantry. Eventorbot owners you know the pain!)
• 500W silicon heater for build platform (solid state relay controlled)
• 24v Mosquito hot end with part cooling fan
• auto bed leveling with inductive probe
• Einsy RAMBO control board with RepRap Full Graphics LCD display
