MMaxislider 3d printer Reprap

thingiverse

My recent 3D printer project boasts a massive build area measuring approximately 22" x 16" x 15", which is larger than most other designs on the market. I used Makerslide linear bearing system for the X, Y, and Z axes to ensure smooth movement and precision. The adjustable belts and 12mm threaded rod contribute to its easy assembly, while its scalability allows for future expansion. The design is heavily inspired by the Mendelmax and Quantum Ordbot, both of which have impressive features. I've documented my build process extensively, including updates on printing progress and lessons learned along the way. You can find detailed instructions, parts lists, and CAD files for this project on my website. In addition to the standard components, you'll need a few specialized parts from suppliers like Makerslide and Misumi. The total cost of makerslide components alone is around $267, while other miscellaneous components not including electronics or heat beds, can be estimated at roughly $465. Postage and GST are additional costs to consider. I've also provided an alternative parts list from the Misumi website for your convenience. It includes motors, microswitches, motor couplings, threaded rods, nuts, bolts, washers, and other hardware needed for assembly. The exact number of each part is specified in the list, but refer to the STEP file model for accurate guidance on usage. Lastly, the extruded components from 8020 Australia will cost approximately $203.69 delivered. The average cost per mm for aluminum extrusion, including postage, GST, and cutting, is about $0.024. T-nuts are also required, with prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.50 each. Overall, this 3D printer project offers a large build area, sturdy construction, and plenty of room for customization. With careful planning and attention to detail, you can create a high-quality printer that meets your specific needs.
