Hello 3D printing enthusiast!
I have just finished putting the finishing touches on my parametric 3D printer.
You can find it here on thingiverse:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52185
The basic premise behind this design was I had a functioning Thing-O-Matic but knew that parts were getting harder to source and I wanted something that was larger. After doing some research I found that the rods and electronics were the most expensive parts and the box that held everything together was the cheapest. So I created an OpenScad script that allowed me to change the box dimensions to match the rods that I had previously from my thing-o-matic or parts that I sourced from some place else. With a few 3D printed pulleys, a lasercut enclosure, new belts and changing a few dimensions in replicator g I was able to create a machine that was much larger than my pervious machine. I created all of the parts at Sector 67 in Madison WI. I am now fine tuning the machine and looking forward to a large print of the Saturn V Rocket.
