3d Printer | Build Log 7 | Current Parts
Last post I went over the basic design for my printer, this post I want to start to go over some of the parts I have ordered thus far. I will also be providing links to where I ordered them from as well as their total price cost for me,…
3d Printer | Build Log 6 | Design Overview
This post will be going over basic design and materials. I will be laying out some basic dimensions and will start to go over what parts need to be custom designed and 3d printed to fit all this together. The majority of my design is based off the HyperCube CoreXY…
3d Printer | Build Log 5 | Extrusion System
Last post went over 3d printer kinematic styles, but in this post I wanted to detail the 3d printer extrusion system and explain the differences between Direct Drive and Bowden styles of extrusion. What Are Extruders? The responsibility of the extruder is to ensure a controlled and accurate feed of…
3d Printer | Build Log 4 | Kinematics
In the last post we went over basic mechanics commonly seen in 3d printers. This post we will be looking into popular kinematics systems and which can be of best use for me. These different kinematic systems greatly define how they are constructed and their advantages and disadvantages. Keeping my…
3d Printer | Build Log 3 | Mechanics
Last post I said I would be going through both Kinematics and Mechanics in this post, but realized how detailed even the basic mechanics are. I will be going over two basic mechanics typically used in 3d printers, Belt and Pulley and Lead Screws. We will be taking a look…
3d Printer | Build Log 2 | 3d Printer Designs
In this post I want to go over standard designs of 3d printers I have seen popular in the community to show what’s favored out there and what may lend itself to my design. I’ve been spending an incredible amount of time watching 3d printer review, build logs, content, etc,…
3d Printer | Build Log 1 | Initial Design Goals
This post will be detailing some design goals and ideas I would like to achieve with this printer to ensure my needs. In my initial Build Log I talked about how I plan to use this for not only just general fun and use, but specifically for prototyping and experimenting…
3d Printer | Build Log 0 | Why Am I Doing This And What To Expect
3d Printers and Me I have made the decision to make a 3d printer. Great. Sounds expensive. For as long as I have known about them I have wanted one, yet have never had access to one. I’ve been a little bit of a maker for a while, but it’s…
