10" Pegasus Build

[Donziboy2]

Im just ahead of ya Got mine 2 weeks ago, had a smashed finger so I waited for it to heal up enough to not hurt every time I moved it. Been working on mine since Friday morning, doing a little bit then taking a break. Had a 4 day weekend.

Got the bed leveled dismorning. Had a few small issues that Colin was quick to reply on so I should be printing in a few days.

Once I get a small desk for it its going into my closet and I will be enclosing/filtering it later so I can do ABS.

Your build looks good. The table looks like the inside of my head.

Not much to comment on with these parts... everything is well laid out and goes together easily.

Up next is the metal X carriage and the parts required are shown here:




And the assembled unit looks like this:





I'm really enjoying this build so far... I love kits like this. It's fun seeing a bunch of parts laying on a table start forming into something useful!

I am curious as to how you guys hook the printer up the to atx power supply. Are you cutting off molex adapters? Or wiring molex's to your printer? I am gonna order myself another printer maybe today, just might be this one too. The only part I am not sure on is the power supply, as in trusting a ebay or attempting to make a atx that I trust work with the printer.

I haven't gotten that far yet, but I'll likely be cutting/soldering/heatshrinking the connections. You are having the same thoughts I did with regards to the power supply. I've seen some of the shit that gets passed off as good items on ebay. At least with the Thermaltake ATX that I am using, I know exactly what I have.

Moving on to the extruder assembly next; here are all the parts required




Some of the holes in the printed parts had debris in them which required a little cleaning out but the stringers came out easily





And the finished product!








Chow for now.

Howdy, next I'm putting together the Y bed with the following parts




Which looks like this when finished
