3 starts lead screw by Lesley_3ddes

Model Description
3D model of aubenc. The models were repaired and checked for printability.

It has been hard to find back most of the parts I was printing and using to do those...Show more tests and it has been really hard to find the OpenSCAD file that I upload here. I have hundreds of them.

I've choose this OpenSCAD because is the most complete one and the one that is less hardcoded (but still quite a shame). I've put some effort to clean it here and there but still there's no warranty at all that it will work fine.

No warranty neither that the stl provided will fit properly, I think that they should but... who knows????

I just hooked up the motors to bot1334 and ask it to build one stl via RepG.

The lead screw provided has a travel per turn of 36mm and I was not modifying the machines.xml to adjust to real sizes.

Instructions
Hmmmmm... I wouldn't print any of the stl provided, what I would do is:

-Yeah, ok print one, print the nut.

-Then use the scad to print a small lead screw, set RL parameter to... 20mm (?)

-Take in account that this thing adds a motor mount to the lead screw, unfortunately this is hardcoded. you may want to comment this part of the code and then use "put in platform" in RepG.

-Check if it's worth to keep on printing.

There are hundreds of horribly named and unproved parameters that should allow you to use other motors, brass (or not) rods...

Have fun!

I FORGOT TO MENTION something important!!

I was printing those when bot1334 was even less fine tuned than it is now, cleaning the lead screw was a pain in the... there.

Maybe, with stepper extruders and the advice of PacManFan (modify the code to add slices=length/layer height) it will work better.

Good luck!
