My Custom MendelMax 1.5

MendelMax 1.5

My first 3D printer. It was initially built from a kit but a lot of custom parts have been designed and replaced.

The only thing remaining untouched from the original kit is the structure.

Z-Axis

X-ends

I replaced the threaded rods on the Z axis with leadscrews and took that opportunity to redesign the X-ends to prevent wobble:

X-Carriage

X-carriage

A more extensive change. I wanted to get into dual extrusion. As the hotends I chose didn't have any already made parts to fit them on my printer I had to make the X-carriage, modify the extruders and create custom fanducts.
