This is the working branch of the Hangprinter repository. Breaking changes may occur from time to time. The Hangprinter repo does not yet have a stable branch. This branch will become our (first!) stable branch when stock Marlin v2 is ready to be included as the default Hangprinter firmware.

This document and this repo are solely about technical aspects of Hangprinter version 3. For more general information about the Hangprinter Project, refer to hangprinter.org

Assembly Instructions

The documentation hosted in this repo is published at hangprinter.org/doc/v3.

Using Nema23?

Then you need different sized motor brackets, extruder holders and motor gears. To compile those do

make nema23

This compiles the files and puts them in the openscad_stl_nema23/ directory. It also creates the layout_nema23.dxf file. To make a 2d-printable pdf of the layout, do

make layout_nema23_a4.pdf

Using letter sized paper?

You can wedge that into the make-calls, like

make layout_letter.pdf

The following works if you're using nema23:

make layout_nema23_letter.pdf

The pdf creation command has been tested on a Ubuntu 14.04 system with Cairosvg v1.0.4, sed v4.2.2, and Ghostscript v9.10.
