Fab@Home Model 2.0

Fab@Home Model 2.0

I have been receiving an unusually large amount emails lately from people asking where they can download the Fab@Home Model 2.0 plans and bill of materials (sometimes referred to as the “blueprints” for the machine). For some reason, they cannot be downloaded from the main Fab@Home website anymore. So, I have now put all of the source files up on this site (plans, bill of materials, CAD files and Laser Cutter layouts). Check out the Fab@Home Plans and Bill of Materials page.

I have almost lost count of how many times I have had to move my printer since I built it. To get it out of certain spaces and for clearance in my car, I need to remove the Z axis beam with the stage still connected. It takes two people to move the main portion of the machine and does require some angling to get out of rooms/hallways as the build base is solid 2 x 4 foot [.6 x 1.2 m] aluminum plate. I typically tape all wiring and electronics down with painters tape so nothing catches or moves around during transport. Reinstalling the Z axis beam is easy, as it is only a handful of screws and I made little spacer blocks so I know exactly how far back on the 80/20 extrusion to secure it. Being that this machine is so rigid, nothing has come out of alignment during transportation.

I know it has been quite a while since my last post, but I have been very busy {as most people are :) }. I will get to answering the ton of emails in my inbox soon, as well as writing new posts.
