Looking for the complete STL files of all the Printrbot Simple 1405 wood pieces? This is it! Printrbot released the lasercut DXF drawing file, but we need STL to be able to print any of those parts. Nothing can convert non-water-tight drawings into printable stl, so they have to be drawn from scratch. (trace programs didn't work well either.)
I bought a copy of CorelDraw and learned hands on to draw with it. Since I was drawing a couple parts, I decided to go ahead and draw every single part that is usually made of wood. A hard week well spent..Finally done! The original DXF can be found at https://www.youmagine.com/designs/printrbot-simple-maker-edition-1405 They are drawn specifically for printing, slightly smaller than the originals and all the tabs are drawn slightly smaller that the holes they fit into. It is a nice, tight fit and first layer squish may have to be filed off to fit. Screw and nuts are drawn for the original 3mm hardware to be used. I have no problem fitting parts that are printed at 2 perimeters, 0.4mm nozzle and .25 mm layer height with 30% infill. If you use 3 perimeters or thick layers, you may need to edit the files or do some drilling and sanding to fit the parts. the thickness of the pieces are rendered at 5.6 mm thick. They fit nicely with printrbot's original 6mm wood. Part 1105-1106 are the same part, so be sure and print 2 of these. Best advice is to print a couple parts and test fit them to achieve final tweaks before printing a large plate of parts. It is still a work in progress (I'm a beginner at drawing). If you find an error, Please let me know so I can correct them. It is intended to print every part (largest piece requires a bed 260mm x 103mm) and it works great in my tests, but you may require editing or altering for your needs based on you hardware and settings. A lot of work went into these files so please feel free to alter, edit and share, but also give credit as well. Enjoy! EdUpdate 8/28/2014Updated part 1107.stl and all-parts.stl to include a missing tab-socket in part 1107.
just wanted to say thanks, have used several of the parts to replace broken ones. Mostly the belt holders :)

<p>I just drilled a small hole for it instead of printing it anew :) All other parts fit together quite nicely (I haven't printed the extruder + z probe mounts though, as I don't have the printrbot extruder) :)</p>

<p>@nkvoll Thanks For the report! It's not missing anymore. :-) I updated 1116.stl and all_parts.stl . Hopefully you can put a little drill hole for that ziptie hole and not have to print the entire part again?(If you already printed it) If you find anything else, let me know and I will fix it ASAP!</p>

<p>Part 1116 is missing a hole for the zip-ties (2nd row, 2nd zip hole missing). :)</p>

Ed_B: I'll definitely take some pictures when i'm done. It's going to take a little while though, since the printer is used for other parts as well, so I can't just keep on printing. Also, I probably have to wait a month to get the parts I need to put it together as well. :)
I'm having to customize a few parts though, as I can only print around 195mmx195mm, which means I have to cut up the larger parts and put them together after printing.

@nkvoll I would absolutely love to see it when you are done. I have only been using individual parts to modify and upgrade.
I also just posted the XL tower upgrade and I do plan to convert other Printrbot Files for printing.

<p>@Ed_B: no problem :) I'm currently printing all these parts, so it was kind of obvious with the part in hand that it didn't quite fit.</p>

@nkvoll Thank You so much for bringing the missing square hole in my pattern to my attention. Part 1107 and all-parts stl files have been corrected.

Your 1107 is missing a square hole in the top right :)
