This is my take on a small Ultimaker Clone. **Update 18** (27.03.2019): Small redesign of the Hotend fanmount and shroud. I've also updated the renderings to reflect these changes. **Update 17** (14.05.2018): I ordered all necessary items to build this printer. I hope they all arrive within one or two weeks. Will keep you up to date. **Update 16** (18.05.2018): Most of the parts got shipped! I am just waiting for the extrusions now. Will post updates of the build process as soon as I got everything ready. **Update 15** (26.05.2018): Unfortunately I am still waiting for the extrusions ... Hope they will get shipped by next week. In the meanwhile I printed all necessary corner rod mounts (see pictures). **Update 14** (04.06.2018): The extrusions arrived! And I already assembled some parts :) (see pictures) **Update 13** (09.06.2018): I printed the Gantry Mounts (see pictures) and today I will try to get the Hotend Mount ready. **Update 12** (11.06.2018): The Gantry is assembled! The Z Axis is next ... **Update 11** (19.06.2018): Changed the Z-Axis to LM12UU Bearings. Updated Renderings. **Update 10** (27.06.2018): The Z-Axis is now assembled! After some problems with the hotend mount, I redesigned it. Now the X-Y-Axis runs smooth. Furthermore I created the endstop mounts which are already present in the Fusion 360 model. I will try to update the pictures today or tomorrow. Now it gets exiting! Electronics are next! **Update 9** (03.07.2018): After test driving the Z-Axis I saw, that the designed version of my bed brackets weren't stiff enough and bend quite a bit. Therefore I designed new bed brackets which are holding the bed really well now. Updated designs and renderings. **Update 8** (04.07.2018): RAMPS Board connected! The first homing was successful. **Update 7** (05.07.2018): Everything connected. And first test prints are running! **Update 6** (09.07.2018): I redesigned the part fan, because the single 40mm axial fan wasn't powerful enough. I switched to a single radial fan with a surrounding fan shroud. Updated renderings. **Update 5** (16.07.2018): Added PSU, Raspberry PI, RAmps and Mosfet Mount. The electronics are all mounted and now I am waiting for a new hotend and extruder. And tomorrow I will try to mount some LEDs to the printer. Furthermore, I am thinking about switching the four point bed mount to a three point one. Will keep you up to date. **Update 4** (19.07.2018): I changed the bed mount now to a three point one. Works really well. Seems I don't have a need for a probe anymore. I think I will remove the probe to use the freed room for a nozzle wipe zone. **Update 3** (04.08.2018): I finally finished it! I am so happy :D **Update 2** (21.12.2018): I replaced the old "alternative" fan shroud with a new one. Also replaced the old "3 Point Leveling Package". The new one includes a new z stop mount. This is my take on a small Ultimaker Clone. The printer has a build volume of 300x180x200mm and weighs around 20kg. It's designed to be easy to assemble and maintain, with a focus on precision and accuracy. The hotend is a Bowden-style setup, with a E3D V6 heatbreak and a nozzle size of 0.4mm. The printer uses a Raspberry PI as its control system, with Marlin firmware installed. It also features a LCD screen for easy menu navigation and a USB port for connecting to the internet. Some key features of this printer include: * A build volume of 300x180x200mm * A weight of around 20kg * A Bowden-style hotend setup * E3D V6 heatbreak and nozzle size of 0.4mm * Raspberry PI as control system with Marlin firmware installed * LCD screen for easy menu navigation * USB port for connecting to the internet I hope this project inspires you to build your own small Ultimaker Clone!
