| 3d printer - Leapfrog creatr conversion |

| Btje:
I have the creatr HS and am thinking of modding it to to have an improved printer of my CR10. I saw you post. Nice work. I have a question, why didn't you put the rails upside down? |
| BillTodd:
Hi Btje, welcome to the forum :mmr: Good question :-) My immediate response is that the motors would then be poking up above the rail extrusions, if mounted on the rail itself (IYSWIM) . But really it was just how it looked best to me in the cad model. :D It might have been a bit more difficult to mount the motors if the Y axis extrusion had been flush with the top . I don't think it would have caused any other difficulties. If you do start a conversion , I'd love to see it, so do post a blog somewhere :proj: |
