Machining the X-Carriage parts to the 3d printer build for the the new Pilot printer we call the WorkHorse 3D Printer.

3D Distributed is a Texas-based company that designs and manufactures 3d printing systems and technologies. While the company may have a wide range of products the main focus is on open modular machine design. The idea is to have a family of modular machine components that can be switched out for a range of different applications. If you need to use Nema 23’s instead of Nema 17’s, no problem. We have a component for that. If you want to jump from belt driven to leadscrew, we have a component for that. Our products are designed to be used universally or with other machines or just in any suitable configuration.

![New Motor Mounts
We finally CNC machined some new motor mounts for the z axis on the Workhorse 3d printer.

What makes this machine unique is that it uses lead screw on all three xyz axis. The all metal design is so rigid that its pretty much a cnc mill. We went with lead screw motion so that we could print with clay, chocolate and use a pellet extruder.
