- Large format - print area: 300W x 280D x 230H
- Low cost (utilising recycled e-waste)
- Compressed aluminium tube frame and xyx-axis (extremely rigid, light weight)
- Z-axis stabilisation incorporated in frame design, preventing z-axis vibration/movement under high x-carriage accelerations
- High power heat bed using cheap ceramic resistors (hence the two old PC power supplies)
- Scaled up version has also been built, 400W x 300D x 400H
- Included Sketch-up design can easily be modified for different sizes etc (not limited by standard heat bed/linear bearing dimensions etc)
- Designed to utilise recycled printer, PC and general e-waste components which were supplied by Substation 33 (e-waste recycler here in Brisbane Australia)
- The total component cost excluding recycled components was around $200 AUD, major cost component came from nuts, bolts, screws and threaded rods
- New version 2.01 design has been completed and printed (currently under construction) new design focus was on maximising recycled components, price estimate for new v2.01 design is well under $100 AUD, will hopefully be uploaded within the next month or two
My personal goal is to see some of the millions of PC's, office printers and general e-waste turned into 3D printers, enabling disadvantaged people access to very low cost 3D printersInstructions
