REVISED 8-27 at 8:35 pm
The Eventorbot is an open source 3D printer developed by Duy Dang. The steel tube frame makes this printer design simple and strong. Eventorbot designs, assembly tutorials and bills of materials are freely available online. The plans are licensed CC-BY-SA.
For this assignment, you will do the following:
- Reverse engineer the STL files to create fully parametric models of the “printed” parts.
- Find a source for each purchased part. Acquire STEP models of purchased parts. IGES can substitue for step.
- If you cannot find STEP or IGES files, model the purchased parts.
- Create Parametric models of the frame (drawing here).
- Create Parametric models of any purchased parts that must be modified (e.g., rod cut to length).
- Create a sheet metal component of the print head holder.
- Create an assembly of all components.
- Create a rendered view of the sub-assemblies and the completed assembly.
- Create exploded views to illustrate assembly process (example).
- Create a document explaining the device and how each sub-system works and goes together. Summarize sources for the entire BOM (including part numbers, costs). Include a section that details each team member’s contribution. You may consider creating and assembly that is color-coded by student. Turn in as a PDF or Word Document.
