Scratch Built Bot – Belfry Fabber Mk1 rev6 by Revar
Belfry Fabber Mk1 rev6 by Revar
When MakerBot’s Cupcakes were in short supply last year, Revar did what any self-respecting maker would do. He built his own from scratch.
He must have been saving up the announcement of his designs for a while, because his Belfry Fabber Mk1 rev6 is Thingiverse Thing # 1952. Based on the comments for Things #1951 and 1953, that means he started to upload his ideas back in March of last year. The designs were clearly worth the wait. His ‘bot features:
- An expanded build area (165x175x170mm)
- A custom heated build platform
- Internal electronics, custom LCD and keypad mounted to the front (with an itty-bitty slot for the SD card)
- Thing-O-Matic style cantilevered Z stage and endstop support for automatic homing and centering
More?! You need MORE information about Revar’s amazing robot??? Then more you shall have! Behold his video walk through!

They were in short supply?
Revar
They were when I started.

Awesome! It’s similar to the thin-o-matic and just as awesome.
How do you keep the platform anchored?

I tapped screw holes into the back of the aluminum plate, and screwed brass hex stand-offs into it.
