If there is news about the model, you will find out there first.

The model is available for free download and use.
If you still want to invite me for a coffee for my effort, troubles and time (I ran out of filaments a couple of times), you can do it via:

Please use always bed leveling & flow calibration for this model, especially for the gears and axles!
Bambu Lab P1 should at least be calibrated. (linear advance) 

I uploaded some print suggestions as *.3mf files.
(5 print plates for Bambu Lab / Bambu Studio with PEI plate @ the end of the list - attention, not cold plate)

Update:
I tested the "maschine" again and again and it happened to me too: the 45 mm axle (the driven one) broke!
The 3 walls and 25% infil are not enough!

If you haven't printed it yet or broke it, then please print it with:

  • 0.16mm Optimal @BBL profile
  • 5 or more wall loops
  • 100% infill (sparse infill density)
  • Rectilinear (sparse infill pattern - set automatically)
  • speed outer wall (slow as possible for more accuracy) e.g. max 60 mm/s
  • support (yes) normal (auto)

Update 2:
If the stronger printer settings for Axis 45mm are not enough, the you can also print the “Heavy Load” version (see folder “Heavy Load Parts”)

Centering discs:
If you need a special size, you can decrease or increase the next size in the slicer program.
E.g. if you need 51.5 mm, then you can take the 50 mm disc and scale up accordingly before printing.
(51.5 / 50 = 1.03, i.e. print 3% larger)
