P3steel toolson edition MK1
In my opinion Irobri’s P3steel frame is probably the best i3 frame available.
But the printed parts didn’t meet my requirements. Most of the existing designs are not well thought out .
More than 1 year ago I bought a P3steel kit from a spanish supplier.
After hundreds hours of printing i changed and modified nearly every part.
Some weeks ago I decided to design a completly new P3steel.
I designed nearly every part from scratch based on my long time experience with my first P3steel and all the developments I did in the mean time.

preconfigured Firmware
download the preconfigured Repetier v0.92 Firmware here:
Repetier-Firmware
For beginners and first testruns:
Set acceleration for X and Y axis to a lower value (800-1200).
Dont forget to finetune PID Parameters for Heatbed and Hotend.
Use M303 command:
M303 P<extruder/bed> S<printTemperature> X0 R<Repetitions>- Autodetect pid values.
Use P<NUM_EXTRUDER> for heated bed. X0 saves result in EEPROM. R is number of cycles.

It is still the best looking design I have seen. What is your latest price on the 3D printed components of the P3 toolson edition.
Thanks

Auf der Suche nach Infos über die Stahlversion bin ich über deinen Drucker gestossen. Die Druckteile sehen sehr hochwertig aus.
Vom Reprap Forum habe ich mal die V4 geladen. Ev. wäre ein Rahmen aus 3mm Certal interessant. Möchte möglichst wenig Masse beschleunigen.
Sind deine Wellen in 8 oder 10mm?
