More photos in the Flickr pool

Great googly mooglies! Time flies when you're busy making a living.

I've finally gotten around to processing my photos of the build so far and uploading them to my Flickr photo set.

A few notes -

I started my build using the instructions on the RepRap wiki as the instructions on the MakerGear site had not been posted yet. There are a few minor differences between the standard Prusa Mendel and the MakerGear Prusa Mendel.


The front bottom rod assembly and rear bottom rod assembly are different. Instead of using the M3 washers on the sides of the bearing, the MakerGear version replaces them with a printed pulley snapped onto the bearing.

Also, the top rod mount on one side is meant to be further away from the top vertex connector.

I've since corrected these on my build. I've got a few photos of the corrected parts but have not processed them yet for uploading.

I'm now going forward using Gary Hodgson's Prusa Mendel Visual Instructions and the MakerGear instructions. Between the two it looks a very thorough set of steps to complete the build.
