Here are some of the modified parts:

They haven’t been tested so let me know if anything looks wonky! The Z arms still need to be addressed so I’ll post them once sorted.
Thanks to K120189 (Kevin) over on http://letsmakerobots.com/
He’s also the creator of BoB the bi-ped:

Which is a really clever little printable robot that walks around!
I am taking pictures as I go along. I got impatient and printed the metric spec parts and modified them with a homemade reamer:
I also used the same method on the holes in the Z brackets as well. Just thought I’d share this with other people who are as impatient as I am…
There are a couple of very generous people over on letsmakerobots.com who are working on modifying the files to US spec so we americans can buy the long parts locally!
Hello all!
I am currently working on a Morgan in the US as well. The standard pipe available here is 1/2″ (Mine is 15.8mm OD) and 3/4″ (Mine is 22.3mm OD)
I got excited and printed my Z arms and managed to file the 1/2″ pipe into a reamer and opened up the holes for a really good snug fit. I also printed the 22mm pulley and will try to ream it as well.
I’m not good with CAD but I have a friend who is going to assist me with adapting the parts to hardware available in the US. Mainly the copper tubes and using 5/16″ threaded rod instead of 8mm.
I am currently going through the parts figuring out what parts need modification in order to let him know. If someone else modify’s the parts first then GREAT!
I’m printing my Morgan on a Rostock in case anyone is wondering…
THANK YOU MR HARLEY FOR YOUR FINE WORK! I am VERY excited about building one of your machines! Congrats on the GADA prize sir. It is well earned. You are one uber clever dude and a HUGE inspiration!
