I got an i3 frame to build a printer, unfortunately the holes where drilled to big so intended M3 bolts would not fit, at first I used nuts on the back but they tend to fall of and they don't look that nice, therefore I had to edit original parts to accommodate bigger bolts and although source files for all Prusa's printers are available on github, all values are hard coded making it not so easy to adapt to specific needs, therefore I decided to create a parametric version so non programmers can adjust and create.

Holes on my frame where a little over 3mm so I used M4 bolt and tapped my holes to size.

This design is based on MK3 but it works with any MK2 version as well, the codded values will create original Prusa's parts so you can build from there. 

To adjust to your needs download scad files and use the sliders on OpenSCAD or go to Customizer links and adjust from there.

Included STLs are for use with M4 screws, in case you find it to hard to use Customizer or OpenScad please drop me a line and I will be happy to upload files for your bolt size.

Please be sure to upload your custom parts so others can benefit from it, also upload your makes to inspire others.

Keep tuned, I will be posting more parametric parts for original i3 series.

Update 09/2023 Added parameter to adjust smooth rod and lead-screw diameter ass well as lower wall thickness, since my rods where already cut as per MK2 design and ended up to short after the update, I'm using 5/16 smooth rod and 3/16 lead-screw on my build, STLs attached in case someones build matches.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Added parametric properties to easily change for other bolt sizes for the parts mounted to the frame.
