Just so you know 💭

This is NOT a beginner project, and definitely NOT for the faint of heart.

It is currently in active development, and being updated regularly.

With that being said, if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the Discussion tab.

• All of the models with remix in the name are parts that I modified to work with this printer. Credits to all of the original authors are listed below.

NOTE ⚠️

• PLEASE make sure that your printer is calibrated before attempting to print these parts. A lot of these parts can be printed without supports but there some that require them. Another option if you don't have a printer available to you would be to order them from an online 3D printing service.

You WILL have to measure and cut the smooth rods down to size, PLEASE use the proper PPE, measure twice to be precise and BE SAFE while cutting the rods down to size. You don't want to breathe any of the dust produced while cutting as it extremely hazardous to your lungs.

To-Do List 📝

• Add photos
• Add custom firmware
• Add list of parts needed
• Create an Instruction Wiki (Under Construction 🛠️)
