P3Steel redesigned by Paciente8159

Irobri's P3Steel v2.01 redesigned by Paciente8159 (v2.2)

This a redesign of irobri's near perfect P3Steel 3mm steel laser cut v2.01 3D printer

I actually have one (and I love it) an these changes reflect some of the things I would like mine to have. It was also changed with Diamond Head hot end in mind :-)

This is still a work in progress so future changes may occur.

For now this is what I've redesigned: 17-03-2016 Update

• Holes to mount the RAMPS vertically

Base version

• Larger holes the the main frame similar to v4 of the P3Steel frame to reduce weight and lower production costs (number and distance of cuts)
• Slightly enlarged holes for the z stepper cables
• Added clearance in the main frame cut to let the Y axis belt holder pass
• Added cuts in the main frame to install up to 3 bowden extruders (cold end)
• En longed side cuts to accommodate different power supplies
• Reduced diameter of the holes for the Z axis smooth rods to prevent loosen linear rails
• Changed Y axis idler piece to use F604ZZ bearing and re-centered the holes to allow a perfect and parallel line up of the Y belt
• Simplified and removed several cuts on the triangular side and front and back plates to reduce production costs
• Added support structure in a way that can accommodate 3 spools of filament using and M8 threaded rod and printed spool holders that are designed around common 608ZZ bearings (skate bearings)
• Removed screw insert in the between the main frame and the side triangles (in the middle) to reduce the possibility of undesired hit's

These were the main changes. Future changes may follow.
