RepRapPro Ormerod 2 3D printer

The RepRapPro Ormerod 2 is a single-colour 3D printing machine. It is easy to expand in functionality, fast to replicate and fast to assemble. Compared to the original Ormerod, the printer is said to have much simpler and more integrated assembly, with improved instructions and wiring looms for simple plug-in connection and no soldering necessary.

The design offers easier adjustment of the bed level; improved y -axis belt location and retention; and a bed probe which features a 4-wire differential device, as well as providing much easier access to the extruder for cleaning purposes. The power supply is a 100-240 V worldwide input power supply and is a dedicated 12 V supply, rather than being an adapted supply, and is more compact with its integration into the machine with no trailing wires. EMI emissions have been reduced, resulting from a fully shielded design that meets the Class A CE mark.

Specifications include: build volume and speed of 200 x 200 x 200 mm and 1800 mm/min, respectively; a deposition rate of 33 cm³/h; accuracy and layer resolution of 0.1 and 0.01 mm, respectively; and ability to print using either PLA or ABS thermoplastic materials. The open-source software designed to run the machine will run on a relatively low-powered computer running Windows, Linux/Ubuntu or Mac OS.
