Rebuilding my Ordbot

[madmike8]

My OrdBot needs a rebuild. It started off being built from individually bought
parts, some not so good. I had a wades extruder and some Polish made hotend for
3mm filament. I then switch to an Alex extruder and the Jhead-lite hotend setup
for 1.75mm PLA it has on it now. Which worked ok, but not as good as the other
printers I had at my disposal. I use Marlin firmware with servo Z auto level setup.
I've seen some upgrades on thingiverse that I'm going to add to it, clean
the wiring back up, and add a hotbed.

Anyways here's how she looks now.

I've been printing parts for the upgrades.

I got her tore down today. I want to paint all the plates flat black.

Then I mounted the new feet. I really like these.

The first X carriage I got when i originally built the ordbot wasn't bent evenly.
Since it was twisted at the bend I had some nice guy on buildlog.net give one
of his spares so I could complete mine. I've decided to mod the first carriage
by cutting it just above the bend, and mount a prusa style hotend holder to it.
I should of taken a pic before I cut it up. Got the plates painted black.

I'm starting to put her back together now.

I think I've narrowed down what I want to print for my LCD and RAMPS mounts.

I like this RAMPS mount with the hinged lid.

And I like this LCD mount

Now I just have to get those printed.

I think this is the dual hotend mount I'm going to try.

I got my new Power Supply wired up today.

Hipro HP-W500FF3 500W Server Power Supply
12v @ 41 Amps
5v @ 2 Amps

Remove these 5 screws

And open the case to make it easier to solder wires.

This has a slot style connection. With the Hipro label up the top of the slot left to right under the fan.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |----------| |----------|
1 2 3 4 5 6 Gnd. 12V

3 Ps_On
4 Ps_Kill
6 5vsb

Bottom side of the blade two larger pads are Gnd and 12v again

To turn on the power supply tie both Ps_On and Ps_Kill to Gnd.

Close it back up and put the screws back in.

Made a cover for the power supply today. Still need to print the back half.
made it abble to attach to the makerslide.

Fits good. I even added in the slots for the hot swap locking mechanism.

Btw, I'm going to paint these flat black before they are installed permanently. I will add some deans connectors housings and a switch to complete the setup.

I got the parts painted black, and got the Deans Connector Mount installed. I still have to mount an on-off switch. Then get it mounted on the right Z upright.
