IKEA RepRap LINNMON/ADILS

this design is outdated. for archival purposes only.

***** FINAL UPDATE ***** March 19th, 2016 ********************

i resolved the only major issue (idlers) by removing any printed parts. i used fender washers on top and bottom of 2 bearings on a M3 x 40mm screw drilled into the upper tabletop thereby bracing it at 2 points instead of 1. now that the idlers stay perpendicular, there are no anomalies in the layers, and every line comes out smooth w/o any wobble. i've taken this project as far as its gonna go, and i'm quite satisfied w/ the results. aluminum tubing + PLA makes sense for larger builds based on this project. its not for everyone, but it is a viable alternative in my opinion. the front bearing is slightly loose and makes a bit of noise on fast moves, but the quality of the print is not affected.

here is why you should NEVER BUILD THIS THING:

the 75 x 60cm LINNMON tabletops are no longer available from IKEA, you'd have to go even bigger at 100 x 60cm. tha
