BIG DIY 3D Printer

pinshape

This text appears to be instructions for building a 3D printer, specifically the components and materials required for its construction. The text is written in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to follow along. Here's a breakdown of the different sections: **Printing with PET-G** * This section discusses the experience of printing with PET-G filament on this specific 3D printer. * It mentions that the flow rate needs to be adjusted (back to 49%) for optimal results. * The extruder motor steps per millimeter may require tweaking for optimal performance. **Z Axis Setup** * This section lists the necessary components for building the Z-axis of the printer, including: + Bearings + End switch + M8 bolts or threaded rod + Nuts + Stepper motors + Motor to spindle connectors **X and Y Axis Setup** * This section lists the necessary components for building the X and Y axes of the printer, including: + Sliding rods + Linear bearings + Timing belts and pulleys + End switches + LED strip (optional) + Fan (optional) **Extruder Components** * This section lists the necessary components for building the extruder, including: + Bearings + Driver + Hot-end + Snail house fan + Spring (optional) + Stepper motor + Kapton tape + Various bolts and nuts **Miscellaneous** * The final section mentions that these parts are just an indication of the required components, and that each builder may choose to design their printer differently.
