Arm Printer 3D
thingiverse
I built a printer that might seem completely bonkers at first but I'm thrilled to report that the mechanical components are finally up and running, rendering the idea much less far-fetched. The printer utilizes an arm to control the extruder, which still needs to be thoroughly tested. The perks of this setup include its vast flexibility in printable area coverage and an extremely low cost for the parts required. I managed to source all necessary components using a mere 500 grams of filament, four smooth rods, four linear bearings, and eight circular bearings - all under twenty euros. You'll find the firmware, based on Marlin, attached below, although it's still a very rough draft that needs further development. As of now, XYZ movements have only been partially tested. I'll keep everyone updated on its progress from here out. http://youtu.be/L5frg2ia4BM Instructions: Software: OpenScad, Cura Printer: Prusa I3 Filament: PLA 3mm Extruder: 0.4mm Layer: 0.2mm Fill: 30% Support material: yes (pattern 15%) Brim: no Temperatures: 195° extruder, 60° hot bed Fixing method: adhesive tape
