RAR Print - Open source, low-cost, photopolymer 3D printer

thingiverse

RARE 3D Print is a printer that you can make by printing nearly all its parts using almost every component, along with reusing elements from old CDs/DVDs. TIP: Just ask any question and I'll do my best to answer it. Quick Specs: Printer Dimensions (LxWxH): 290mm x 190mm x 200mm Print head: UV Diode + CD/DVD Drive Optic System Build Volume (LxWxH): 80 mm x 80 mm x 80 mm Minimum Layer-height: 10 Microns (0.01 mm) Precision: Same as in a CD/DVD Disk Board: Arduino Mega 2560 NEWS: 07/08/2016 NEW FDM 3D Printer: RAR Print Double-Unic is a new type of 3D printer with two build platforms. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1700571 11/26/2015 Now I'm experimenting with DLP 3D printers and custom photopolymers. You can check out the results here: https://yadi.sk/a/2GeOJ0HEkZXzp 01/25/2015 Hi, world! Sorry for the silence. I recently got married on October 31st. After that, I traveled to Siberia's mountains (the Altay region). And then started working in Tomsk city. So about RAR Printer project: I managed to get: Ramps 1.4 boards Old RAR printer prototype printed parts And a lot of other parts which will help with the project You can find newest instructions for assembling a 3D printer RAR print here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/152UdYUsXrQIEFH6rQjsgM5scn52KM0iCF9XoKVdYWSE/edit?usp=sharing Mikhail Shevchenko 11/17/2014 Hi! ) I'm getting close to starting my experiments. Bestfilament company's guys gave me an Arduino MEGA 2560 board. However, I'm still waiting for RAMPS 1.4 and Pololu drivers A4988. Here is a photo of what you'll see next: old DVD ROM , uv led, Arduino MEGA 2560 and small dvd rom from notebook http://vk.com/rarprint?z=photo-72484195_343361200%2Falbum-72484195_00%2Frev 10/16/2014 Thank you to everyone who's interested in the project! Your feedback is much appreciated. I decided to make a 3D printer and show you all how it can be made at home. I'll post updates here and on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2e9UDoku9wXszHs8dqu_8w Please remember, this project is made during my free time. There's no clear schedule, so just keep following for the latest news.

You must orient them before printing. Also, you can chop parts into some pieces and print them if you have limited build volume in your 3D printer.
