LulzBot TAZ 5 Mechanical Assembly in FreeCAD

[f3nix]

Hi,
I would like to share a TAZ 5 mechanical assembly done using FreeCAD.

TAZ 5 Final Assembly V0.1.jpg (96.15 KiB) Viewed 6593 times

It is still a _work in progress_.

All source files are linked below:
* TAZ 5 Final Assembly V0.1.fcstd (final assembly only ~ 3MB)
* TAZ 5 Assembly V0.1.tar.bz2 (full source archive ~17MB)

The TAZ 5 Final Assembly V0.1.fcstd file containts "movable constraints". One can simulate the movement of all axes.
Version of Assembly2 <= f1e5216. (newer versions have grouping added so it breaks the assembly).

TODO:
- add better model of stepper motor
- add better model of gt2 timing pulley (the manufacturer says he does not have any CAD drawings)
- add better model of limit switch
- add springs
- add heat-set inserts
- add grub screws
- add thumb screws
- add PEM standoffs
- add print head(s)
- some t-nuts in frame are missing

Thanks go to:
- FreeCAD team for creating such a great program. It's getting better and better every day.
- hamish2014 for creating the Assembly 2 workbench (https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_assembly2)
- Ulrich Brammer for his screw maker macro.
- shaise for creating the Fasteners workbench (https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_FastenersWB) and Sheet metal workbench (https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_SheetMetal)
- The LulzBot team for being so open source friendly.

I do hope it will be useful.

Cheers,
Mateusz

Noob here.

Is there a way to download these files without it telling me I cant download it from this server ?

Right now Im thinking of moding the table size and the cooling blower on the hotend.

Im also looking into dedicating a Rassberry pi w/ the LCD display assembly.

Any ideas or thoughts on things to improve ?
