THE PRUSA I2 MEGA By Taylor Knight

Page 2: THE PRUSA I2 MEGA By Taylor Knight. PROJECT GOALS  Direct drive extruder  Larger build area  Space for second extruder  Faster print speeds

PROJECT GOALS

Direct drive extruder Larger build area Space for second extruder Faster print speeds

Page 3: THE PRUSA I2 MEGA By Taylor Knight. PROJECT GOALS  Direct drive extruder  Larger build area  Space for second extruder  Faster print speeds

SPECS

5in wider Bowden style extruder Remote fan ACME rod LCD display GT2 Belts

Page 4: THE PRUSA I2 MEGA By Taylor Knight. PROJECT GOALS  Direct drive extruder  Larger build area  Space for second extruder  Faster print speeds

ACME THREADED ROD

ACME threaded rod used for lead screw

More precise than standard threaded rod

POWER SUPPLY BRACKETS

Holds the power supply

under the heat bed

BOWDEN STYLE EXTRUDER

Removes moving mass Looks cool Faster prints Direct drive

REMOTE FAN

Takes in cold air Still testing…..

LCD DISPLAY

Print without computer Shows what is going on

LED BAR MOUNT

Simple and works

BETTER Z-ROD CLAMP

Wanted a better way clamp the Z smooth rod

WHAT IS STILL NEEDED

Power Switch Change some of the menus on the LCD Second Extruder for support material Set up web server so it can be controlled from internet
